v1.1 OUT NOW!
▸ A DESKTOP MIC FILTER

BAD MIC.
WHEN YOU WANT IT.

SHITmic applies a lo-fi mic effect and routes it into a virtual microphone device. Turn the filter off and the same route sends clean pass-through audio.

▸ WHAT IT DOES

INPUT.
THREE MODES.
COOK SLIDER.

The default app surface is intentionally small: choose an input, pick Xbox, Walkie, or Clean, watch the meter, then set 0, 1, or 2. Knobs and EQ live under Advanced.
≠

FILTER ≠ MUTE

When routing is active, bypass sends a clean copy of your mic to the selected virtual output instead of muting the stream.

★ THE WHOLE POINT
▌▌

LIVE METERS

MIC IN and TO GAME meters show RMS, peak level, and CLIP text so you can adjust gain when the signal gets too hot.

★ NO BLEEDING EARS
◉

ADVANCED WHEN NEEDED

The regular app stays simple. Open Advanced for input/output gain, color, mix, crunch, presence, hiss, squash, drive, warmth, and EQ.

★ HIDDEN BY DEFAULT
⚖

COOK SLIDER

0 = clean, 1 = cooked, and 2 = extra cooked. The slider scales the selected bad-mic sound.

★ QUICK ADJUST
↓

VIRTUAL-DEVICE ROUTING

Pick your real mic as input and a virtual output as the app output. The app refuses speakers/headphones to prevent feedback.

★ SHITMIC VAD / FALLBACK
✗

LOCAL DESKTOP AUDIO

No account is required. The desktop app processes microphone audio locally and does not upload your mic audio.

★ FREE IN BETA
▸ HOW IT ROUTES

PATCH BAY.

Real mic in, Shitmic virtual output out. Target apps read the matching virtual microphone endpoint.
↘ Windows prefers Shitmic Internal Output / Shitmic Microphone. Fallback uses CABLE Input/Output. Mac uses BlackHole 2ch.

▸ WHAT YOU CONTROL

SIMPLE FIRST.
ADVANCED LATER.

↘ the downloadable apps route audio. the page preview only plays back in-browser.
DESKTOP APP
ROUTING + FILTER CONTROLS

Select your real microphone, then start or stop audio routing. The Shitmic virtual output is auto-selected when the app can find it.

Use Xbox, Walkie, or Clean mode. The 0/1/2 cook slider is the main effect control: 0 clean, 1 cooked, 2 extra cooked.

Open Advanced only when you want virtual-device routing details, FILTER ON/OFF, individual DSP knobs, or the graphic EQ.

Watch live levels for clipping. Windows prefers Shitmic Internal Output when the signed driver is installed, and still supports VB-Cable fallback. Mac routes through BlackHole 2ch.

BROWSER PREVIEW
The page demo records a short clip in your browser, lets you play it clean or processed, and keeps the deeper preview controls under Advanced.
DESKTOP APP
The downloadable apps use the same simple default: input, three modes, live meter, and the 0/1/2 cook slider.
LIMITS
The browser preview does not route audio into other apps. For live use, install the desktop app and select Shitmic Microphone, or the fallback virtual endpoint, in your target app.
★ FILTER · OFF ≠ MUTE ★
When audio routing is active, bypass sends clean mic audio into the same selected virtual output. Stopping routing stops SHITmic output.
▸ APP MODES

THREE
DESKTOP MODES.

↘ one click selects the effect mode.
XBOX
Default processed mode. Tuned for a lo-fi party-chat style sound.
WALKIE
More narrow and compressed than Xbox mode.
CLEAN
Bypasses processing. Same routing path, clean mic audio.
▸ SETUP STEPS

FIVE STEPS.
CLEAR ROUTING.

↘ install once, then switch it on when you need it.
SHITMIC SETUP — 5 STEPS
_□×
1
INSTALL VIRTUAL AUDIO DEVICE
Windows: install the Shitmic virtual driver when a signed package is bundled. Until then, install VB-Cable once as the fallback. Mac: install BlackHole once.
REQUIRED
2
INSTALL SHITMIC
Windows: download the ZIP and extract it anywhere. Mac: paste the terminal command; it installs the source app and starts it from Terminal.
DOWNLOAD
3
LAUNCH SHITMIC
Windows: double-click START_SHITMIC.bat. Mac: the terminal installer starts SHITmic after setup; later, rerun it with the command printed at the end.
LAUNCH
4
PICK YOUR DEVICES
Microphone = your real mic. Virtual Output = "Shitmic Internal Output" (Win), fallback "CABLE Input" (Win), or "BlackHole 2ch" (Mac). The app usually selects a virtual output when it finds one.
CONFIGURE
5
TARGET APP · SET YOUR MIC
Set "Microphone" to "Shitmic Microphone" (Win), fallback "CABLE Output" (Win), or "BlackHole 2ch" (Mac). Compatibility still depends on the app or platform you are using.

MAC — available, just not as a ZIP/.app download yet. Terminal-only for now while this tiny beta skips Apple's approval maze.
The command installs the Python source version and BlackHole 2ch for routing.
▸ MAC TERMINAL INSTALL

Mac terminal install uses the Python source app instead of a notarized .app download. It may install Homebrew, Python/Tk support, audio libraries, and BlackHole 2ch. Windows still uses the ZIP or PowerShell path.

▸ COMMON QUESTIONS

F.A.Q.

↘ short answers for setup, routing, and safety.
IS IT REALLY FREE?
Free during beta. No login or email capture is required. The desktop app does not upload microphone audio.
DOES "FILTER OFF" MEAN MUTE?
No. If audio routing is active, bypass sends clean mic audio into the same virtual output. If routing is stopped, SHITmic stops sending output.
WHY DO I NEED A VIRTUAL DEVICE?
Apps that accept microphone input usually expect an audio device. The Shitmic Windows driver exposes Shitmic Microphone when installed. VB-Cable and BlackHole remain fallback virtual devices.
METER SAYS "CLIP" — WHAT NOW?
Lower Output Volume or Input Gain in the app. If MIC IN is clipping before SHITmic processes it, lower your system mic level too.
DOES IT WORK ON MAC?
Yes. Mac is terminal-only right now: run the curl command, let it install the Python source app and BlackHole 2ch, then choose BlackHole 2ch as the mic input in your target app.
CAN I BUILD AN EXE?
Yes. The Windows ZIP includes BUILD_EXE_WINDOWS.bat, which uses PyInstaller to create a standalone dist\SHITmic.exe. If an exe is already present, START_SHITMIC.bat runs it automatically.
WILL IT GET ME BANNED?
It outputs processed microphone audio. Most apps treat it like any other mic, but each app or platform sets its own rules.
WHAT ARE THE LIMITS?
The app is driver-ready, but the actual Windows virtual driver must be signed and installed before Shitmic Microphone appears. Until then, use VB-Cable fallback and select the fallback microphone in the target app.

DOWNLOAD SHITMIC.

Windows ZIP + Mac terminal option. No account required. The desktop app processes mic audio locally. A small utility for a controlled bad-mic effect in apps that accept virtual microphone input. Free during beta.

MAC: yes, there is a Mac path. No ZIP or .app download yet; use the terminal command below for the source installer and BlackHole routing.
