In this video I'll show you the easiest (and free) way to send audio from your DAW to OBS (free broadcasting software) when using a Mac. This will allow you to use all the plugins and effects found in your DAW (reverb, delay, EQ, compression). Using your DAW will also make it easier to mix multiple microphones, allowing you to perform with multiple musicians during your live streams. You'll need to download and install a free audio driver called Soundflower (github.com/mattingalls/Soundf...) or alternatively BlackHole (github.com/ExistentialAudio/B.... I suggest using BlackHole as there are no longer any updates being released for Soundflower.
If you have any questions please leave them in the comments, and I will be happy to answer them.

I can't thank you enough for this video. I spent way too many hours trying to figure out why OBS wasn't picking up line three from my interface. Once I figured out that OBS couldn't pick up beyond two channels, and I needed to utilize Ableton Live (or any DAW) to capture and have that system "talk" to OBS, the missing link was an audio driver and your video!

@LateNightTones 2 года назад

Great tutorial! Question: How do you capture the audio from your mic while simultaneously capturing the audio from Logic? The only 2 ways I know to do this are: 1. Create a track within the Logic session and set it to input monitor (the drawback to this method is that once the Logic session is closed, the mic signal is also gone) 2. Set up the mic to run straight to OBS (the drawback to this is the latency - too much latency to monitor the mic this way) Is there another method you use? Thanks !!

@knuckledustermusic 2 года назад

It depends a little bit on what you're trying to achieve. If you're streaming an online performance, then I'd use Logic to mix all my mics and inputs. In that case, yes I'd add an audio track in Logic and have input monitoring on or record enable the track. If you wanted to use your mic outside of your DAW you could add it directly in OBS like you mentioned, but (if your audio interface allows) use direct monitoring from your interface instead of monitoring through OBS to avoid latency. I hope that helps. -Georges

@PeteDavies728 Год назад

Hi Congrats on this great tutorial firstly. This could end up being a lifesaver for me, if I can fit the missing piece of the jigsaw into place. I've followed your guide on my MacBook, and I'm using a USB mixer instead of an audio interface. I can see the audio bar going up in OBS when I play a track in cubase, but I can't hear it through my headphones connected to my mixer, plus I can hear my mic through the headphones, so there's something I'm not doing right here. Any idea on what I've done wrong please ? Thanks in advance

@knuckledustermusic Год назад

Hi Pete, it sounds like everything is routed correctly to OBS. I would look to the monitoring on your USB mixer. There's usually a button or setting (assign to main mix or something similar) on most mixers that you'll need to engage in order to hear audio from your DAW or computer. Hopefully that does it for you. Cheers Georges

Question, after doing all this (which by the way worked) how do I also record in my DAW for the stream if the playback engine (sound output) is changed from my interface to the new created multiport we made? This is the main issue I’m having now since I no longer get my mic input into pro tools after changing the output to send audio to OBS.

@knuckledustermusic Год назад

Are you able to select independent inputs/outputs in Pro Tools? Keep the input as your audio interface and set the output to the multi-output device. Also make sure that you didn't create an aggregate device by accident instead of a multi-output device. I hope that helps. Cheers Georges

@royalranting119 Год назад

great tutorial. but how can I monitor myself on my headphones without an interface?

@knuckledustermusic Год назад

Thanks! When you create your multi-output device simply select Headphones. Your headphones will need to be plugged in otherwise you'll see MacBook speakers or something similar instead in the Audio Midi Setup. I hope that helps. Cheers Georges

@anjayaofficial 2 года назад

Hi! Thank you for this video very clear, i use loopback and Ableton and it works with what you said. The main problem i have is the Latency and CPU, do you have an advice to fix this issue ? Thanks in advance!!

@knuckledustermusic 2 года назад

Hi Anjaya, the amount of latency you get will depends on both your computer speed and your audio buffer settings. Go to your audio preferences in Ableton and try reducing your buffer size to 128 samples (lower number=less latency, but your CPU has to work harder as well which can cause some digital artifacts). If you're still having a lot of latency, then you should reduce the amount of plugins you're using in your DAW (especially on your master bus). I hope that helps! -Georges

@@anjayaofficial it kind of depends on what you're doing. If you're running a big DAW session with lots of tracks and plugins then spreading the load over two machines can certainly help things run smoother.

@DawkinsPlays Год назад

Hello... Great video. So at this time, I'm streaming my PS5 through my Mac to OBS. I added an additional capture card but the audio from the capture card comes through my mic channel and it cuts my voice out if something loud happens on the capture card. How do I separate audio from capture card and my mic channel?

@knuckledustermusic Год назад

Hey Dawkins, how do you have your mic hooked up at the moment and what kind of mic is it? The simplest solution would be to use a USB mic (like the shure MV7) for your voice going directly to you Mac. That way in OBS you'd have two separate audio inputs. One for the capture card, and one for your microphone. Cheers Georges

@knuckledustermusic Год назад

It sounds like your input in Ecamm Live is set to your Presonus mixer rather than Blackhole 2Ch. I'm assuming you're trying to set it up so that you're feeding Logic Pro with 32 channels from the Presonus, mixing in Logic Pro, and then sending the mixed Logic Pro stereo output to Ecamm? If that's the case then in Logic Pro audio preferences your input should be set to "Presonus Studio Live", output set to "the BlackHole Multi-Output Device you created", and then in Ecamm set your microphone to "BlackHole 2Ch". I hope that helps. Cheers Georges

@@ilyahohenstein692 yes I'd recommend you go with the 2ch option of Blackhole. A few things about latency, you want to be monitoring through your DAW and not OBS. So your multi-output device should include Blackhole 2CH and which ever device you're using to monitor yourself. If you're still getting too much latency you can lower your buffer size in your DAW preferences, and limit the amount of plugins you're using (especially on your master bus). If you need to monitor other things such as intro videos in OBS, you can change your monitoring device in the OBS settings under audio. I hope that helps. Cheers Georges

Next change your audio output to the multi-output device you created. Your input source shouldn't change, so your interface inputs should still work. If you are seeing signal, but not hearing anything then you'll know that the issue is with multi-output device. Make sure it is sending audio to both your interface and to either soundflower or blackhole. I hope that helps. Cheers Georges

@knuckledustermusic 9 месяцев назад

@@arcadiooviolin XLR or TS cables will be best. There will be very minimal latency going from one computer to the other. Any latency will come from the DAW itself, so limit the amount of plugins you use (especially on your master bus), and reduce your I/O buffer as much as possible. Cheers Georges

@knuckledustermusic 5 месяцев назад

OBS will only ever recognize 2 channels. That's one of the reason to use your DAW. Mix all your inputs the way you want them in your DAW, and then use BlackHole to send your 2 channel master out to OBS. I hope that helps. Cheers Georges

Hey Everyone, So I followed this video and while I was able to get audio from my daw into my OBS by changing the device to Blackhole ( had to use that one) in reaper it no longer let's me set my channels from my interface therefore I can't record anything. Anyone know how to get around this or if I missed a step? Thanks.

@knuckledustermusic 2 года назад

Hey Dire Peril, I'm not a Reaper user, so I can't say for sure, but there's a chance that Reaper won't let you set independent audio input and output devices. Is that what's happening? StudioOne has the same issue. If that's the case this method won't work exactly like I've shown. The workaround would be to create an "Aggregate Device" instead of a "Multi-Output Device". Make sure to select both your audio interface and Blackhole. The problem with doing it this way is that your audio interface will be outputting from outs 1+2 and Blackhole from outs 3+4 (or vice versa), so you'll need to send all the tracks from your DAW to both sets of stereos outs. I hope that makes sense. Cheers Georges
