Setup OBS Studio & ASIO Audio for Recording 

This video is gold. No installing "banana" this or "plantain" that, it works. Much love!

These last two updates have been hellish. THANK YOU for saving my whole career with this video!

FYI it IS only asio inputs available. you need an audio interface that lets you send outputs back to inputs. btw RME users can also do this by using loopback on unused channels

You are absolutely wonderful. I could not for the life of me find out why even though all my desktop audio was routed through my apollo - it wouldn't play my DAW through OBS which made no sense since it played everything else I played on my desktop audio. Setting up my virtual outputs through the asio source fixed it! Thank you so much :)

Woow it helped me solving the audio cracking after recording. Just instaled the ASIO OBS and now everything working good with my Apollo Sound Card. Thank you❤

You are the reason why I'm going to start making guides soon. Thanks A lot!

Big thanks for this. It helped me solve my issue with my MOTU. I use Nuendo though, so needed an extra step of routing the audio through a Cue bus and setting it's assigned outputs to my MOTU's return inputs.

Helped me sort my issues out recording Bitwig audio via RME and loopback. Thank you!

Latest version of OBS won't let me select the drop down menu on OBS channel's 1 and 2 once we're in the properties. Am I doing something wrong here? I have a focusrite scarlette solo gen 4.

Огромное спасибо, случайно нашёл это видео и скачал плагин asio! Он обновлён и актуален сейчас 23.05.2024

god bless your heart and soul for making this... was getting major crackling sounds before I started using the asio plugin

You my friend, deserve a sub for this :) thank you so much!

Well, the ASIO plugin for OBS installed properly, but I see no evidence of monitoring, as the meters aren't moving while playing audio in my DAWs.

Thank you. I had to update to use some new plugins and then noticed that everything broke. Glad this seems to be working better than the last update though. On 29 now.

Thank you for going through all this work to explain everything!

Oh my GOD thank you so much man. I had this problem since i reinstalled my windows because i forgot what i installed back in the days ( OBS ASIO PLUGIN ) this is even better then i had it setup. My man how can I stop OBS from fking up the Drivers when I open FL Studio ? it works for like a minute but then my "normal" mic stops working and I need to restart my OBS so the Mic works again. It feels like the DAW is taking the Signal via the driver but cant give it back if that makes any sense lol.

I have UR22C, does this have output routing? I couldn't figure out. I need to give asio output to streaming software.

My problem is that I can either select my Zoom U-24 in Bitwig or in OBS. Not both at the same time. As far as I remember, that's a common problem with ASIO interfaces and their driver in particular. Some interfaces can be used by multiple applications at the same time, some won't let you do that. When my interface is active in OBS, Bitwig tells me on startup that the audio interface is not available. When it's already active in Bitwig and I open OBS, OBS lets me select the interface when I create and ASIO Input Capture, but the list for channels only shows mute and I can't open the control panel. Also, even when Bitwig is closed or is not using the interface, I can open the control panel, but the list for channels only shows the inputs. Does anyone have a solution for this?

This worked last year on my Lenovo Legion I5 BUT NOT on my brand new Dell M18 R1. Can't figure it out

One other question: if record Bitwig output to one track and my voice to another, the way you show here, any media player plays only one of those tracks at a time. How can I merge them in the mkv or mp4 file?

Not resolved for me :( I have duplication of driver lounched in tray when requiring ASIO Capture component. And no sound to OBS.

Thanks a ton and a quick question. I just updated both my OBS and installed the most recent ASIO driver that you showed in the vid. However, no ASIO Input Capture shows up as an input option. Any thoughts? Much appreciation.

thanks for your vdeo. MAC version?

1:34 I'm using the newest version of OBS (29.1.3) and "ASIO Input Capture" straight up doesn't appear in this list anymore. Did they remove it here too? Is OBS TRYING to make everything more difficult?

Bro, you are my f@cking hero! Big Bo Bear hug!

You're the GOAT!!!!!

is there a way to make it work with an usb apollo?

Beautiful! Thank you

How do I set this up for streaming sake ???

Since this is the one single video Google serves up when searching for solutions on Bitwig / OBS / asio capture, I’ll add my 2 cents here. The video is fantastic, but omits the required setup in Bitwig. My audio interface didn’t have loopback, so I had to splurge for a new one that did (Arturia Minifuse 2). Now OBS lists two additional loopback channels as expected. (These would be the "MON" channels in the video, but in my case they're helpfully named Loopback left/right). But - I still had no audio in OBS from Bitwig. Then I decided to consult the Minifuse manual 😊 And (while it shows an example only in Reason) it became clear that the DAW needs to be configured to route audio to the loopback device, duh! Bitwig was now listing not 2, but 4 output channels: two main ones and two for the hardware loopback. I created a new output entry for channels 3 and 4, and this is where I can redirect the Master channel audio. And now OBS is finally picking it up. Of course, this way you can’t actually hear any sound at all (either from Bitwig or from OBS), so there’s a better way: leave the Master track alone, routed to your speakers as always, and create a new audio track especially for OBS. This audio track has Master as input, and outputs to the loopback which we’ve just created. Arm this audio track for recording and you’ll have signal both in OBS and in your speakers/headphones. And maybe you won’t lose half your remaining hair like I did. Apologies if this is painfully obvious to everyone, but it wasn’t to me 😊 (And if it still doesn’t work, make sure the asio plugin version is updated to your OBS version. Currently (August 2023) OBS is at version 29, while the plugin last mentions being updated to OBS version 28. I ended up installing older versions of both, because they match).

does this work on mac too?

Life saver, this worked for me!

My Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 do not have monitor left and right so I am not sure what to do

THANK YOU!

That's why you should always try new version inside a vm.

Ty

Thank you!! PC users have to jump through 3000 hoops to evenrecord their screen lol

Thanks !!

very handy!

As a person that doesn't go Linux mode every time I want to download something i can say this thing is nowhere near stable as soon as i download it my native asio stopped working

finally

it doesn't work with focusrite scarlett :/

Buddy, can I ask a "Dumbass:" question? I see all the vids like this one but You're a "WINDOWS" user but using Thunderbolt? I'm a Windows user using the Apollo USB Heritage user so I don't have the I/O Matrix. Did you buy a Mac version of Apollo?

Gay voice

what if there are no options to route my arrow to an obs channel through stereo in the properties of asio plugin

Thank you!
