Routling Wiki - Documentation for Visual Audio Routing on Windows

Getting Started #

Install Routling, understand what it does, and build your first working audio route in about five minutes.

What is Routling Routling is an ASIO-first audio router for Windows that connects any audio source to any destination through a visual node graph. Installation System requirements, installing Routling, and getting an ASIO driver if you do not have one. Your First Route Build a working audio path in five minutes - open a device, add two nodes, draw a connection. Interface Tour Every part of the Routling window - toolbar, canvas, canvas controls, and where each feature lives.

Concepts #

The model underneath the canvas - nodes, the primary ASIO clock, latency, and how your work is saved.

Nodes and Connections How the canvas works - node anatomy, ports, drawing and editing connections, selection, and groups. Primary and Secondary Devices Why Routling opens one ASIO device as the clock and attaches everything else as a secondary, and what that costs. Latency and Buffers What the toolbar latency number means, how buffer size trades latency against stability, and how FX plugins add delay. Sessions and State How Routling saves your graph, restores it on launch, and what happens when hardware is missing.

Node Types #

Every node you can place on the canvas - the sources, the destinations, and the processors in between.

Node Types Overview Every node type in Routling, what it does, and when to reach for it. ASIO Channels The physical inputs and outputs of your primary audio interface - the lowest-latency path in Routling. App Capture and System Audio Capture audio from one specific application, or from everything your PC plays, without a virtual cable. Routling I/O Virtual audio devices that appear in Windows, so any application can send audio to Routling or take audio from it. Virtual ASIO Connect a DAW to Routling over 16 channels each way, with Routling appearing as an ASIO device inside the DAW. FX Module Host VST2 and VST3 plugin chains anywhere in your signal path, with per-effect bypass, drag reordering and reported latency. Pro Ducker Automatically lower one audio source when another is active - music that steps back when you speak. Volume Knob A manual gain and mute control carrying up to 8 independent audio paths through one node.

Workflows #

Complete setups built end to end - streaming, DAW work, podcasting, and per-application routing.

Streaming Setup A complete streaming routing - processed mic, game audio, music that ducks under your voice, and a separate monitor mix. DAW Integration Connect a DAW to Routling so you can record routed audio, process DAW output, or use the DAW as a live effects rack. Podcast and Multi-Guest Recording Route several microphones plus remote guests, with each participant on a separate track and a mix-minus feed so guests do not hear themselves. Per-Application Routing Send different applications to different destinations - music to speakers, game to headphones, calls to both.

Reference #

Exact values - shortcuts, toolbar controls, every preference, licensing limits and troubleshooting.

Keyboard Shortcuts and Gestures Every keyboard shortcut and mouse gesture in Routling, in one table. Toolbar Reference Every toolbar control - device pill, buffer size, latency readout, device menu and app menu. Preferences Every setting in Routling's Preferences dialog, across all five tabs. Licensing and Tiers What the Free tier includes, what Pro unlocks, and how activation and machine binding work. RoutlingVASIO.toml The config file for the Routling Virtual ASIO driver - sets the sample rate and buffer size it reports to your DAW. Troubleshooting Fixes for no audio, dropouts, devices that will not open, plugins that will not load, and sessions that restore incompletely.
