Ultimate OBS Audio Settings 

I found your videos from you doing cameras in OBS, and the way you deliver your content is Amazing! You earned my Sub!! Keep it going, thank you good sir

Always excited when I see ya vids pop up. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. It's really appreciated.

So glad I found your channel! Just starting out and it's been very valuable, so, thanks!!!

this is exactly what i was looking for thank you

Thank you as always for everything you post for all of us. You’re truly a lifesaver. 😎😎

This is very helpful. But I have a question. How do you route the audio for VST plugins (virtual instruments}, while keeping your mic separate?

Another great video. A great reminder and learning moment for me. Thank you sir.

This channel doesn't get nearly enough attention. I really appreciate the videos.

Hi Michael, your videos are AWESOME and your personality and clear explanations keep me coming back. I am trying to record video podcasts and have 2 mics in my studio. I followed what you suggested (maybe here or in another video) in terms of using Audio MIDI Setup on my Mac by creating an Aggregate Device with both USB mics, and though they're both connected, I'm only hearing audio being recorded from one of those mics. Any thoughts on why the audio isn't being recorded via both mics?

Thank you man!

Thanks Michael!

THANK YOU SO MUCH I HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING SO MUCH AND THIS HAS HELPED ME.

You are/were not alone! I pray you found what has worked for you!

What about if your recording video from a vcr attached to the laptop by a video capture card what settings of audio do you need for that

If anyone streams their DJ sets then i suggest these settings in filters. They don't clip or distort at high volume & your sets will sound better. Compressor: Ratio 4:1, Threshold -5db, Attack - 102ms, Release 94ms, Output Gain 2db Limiter: Threshold -3db, 196ms

I’ve been binging your videos and it’s super helpful! I’m starting a podcast with my friend and I had no idea how complicated all of this would be 😵‍💫 I have dogs, so I can’t record in my apartment, and the office space I’m using is all hard surfaces, so I’m having trouble getting the mics to ignore echo, but save the recording without it being too quiet. We’re gonna try throwing a big comforter on the table, but any other tips?

Thank you for all the help subbed ✅

Thank you Sir. Excellent explanation. Finally got my Sony SBH54 bluetooth handset working ( Using its noise cancelling Mic and as monitoring deviceo ver headphones connected to it,

you are the best that makes this content

Hey Micheal first of all great video but i got a question what about channel points with sound effects how do i separate that ? bcuz my desktop audio plays it and i want to separate that

Hello Michael i have a question... Is there a way or a plug in to move the audio tracks in the order you want in the obs? I have 15 audio tracks and I would like to arrange them from most important to least important from top to bottom or vice versa

Love your channel. You have helped me thru a loads of unnecessary trials and get to the problem. Thanks for all your work. My wife says she likes you hair better short. ✌️🤣😂🤣😂🤣

awesome, thanks

Wonderful guide

thanks big dawg

will this apply as well if you have a goxlr mini?

Excellent again brutha Mike

I want to ask I was makiny my video in OBS but here is the thing I was talking in it. Happend when I unplugged my mic or speakers so everyyime if I plug it out I have to setup it again which one is it so I dont need to replay Spider-Man again for that mission or how can I backup the video in Premiere Pro its 22 min but I can make it 48 min should I go for it or should I leave the video unlisted.

I stream my gaming, which I do using a PS5. I currently use desktop audio for the audio source for my PS5 audio because I haven't been able to figure out how to properly separate the audio and it be loud enough for me to hear while I'm playing without being too loud for my viewers. But I would like to be able to disable desktop audio and separate out all of the audio sources. What would be the best way to do that?

Hey Micheal. Is there a way that a recording done when streaming mixcloud through OBS doesn't play the mic audio (while streaming one might chat to the crowd etc) but only music audio? Your help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

I have a problem with echo on the live stream at our church is there anything you can help me with to stop the echo thank you

I use a wireless Bluetooth and USB headset with a built-in mic. I also use a capture card. What should my audio settings be for each if i want to stream on Twitch??

Mr Fryer I’m trying to record a video in obs . I’m using a usb rode mic and and using hyper X for headphones . Everything sound great except When I record, I don’t want to hear myself talking coming thru my headphones . How do I cut this off ?

for Mac when you add a camera you don't get the option use custom audio device so I have to add a separate audio device. or am I doing something wrong?

Another good video :)

God damn, thank you

Hey, can I ask for MacOS is it BalckHole? But using the way to capture guest audio from headphone?

your best bro realy

Hey Micheal thank you for always being really informative with every steps but i have a question and if anyone can answer my question too. So is desktop audio irrelevant if you make sound sources for every application like game application, mic, discord, and music (spotify)? I'm trying to understand how to play music without it coming out of my desktop audio 🤔 appreciate the help!

I hope this isn't a dumb question, under the audio tab you have all on disabled. I have a behringer um -2 audio capture, I have this in my aux/mic number 1 slot, I don't listen through headphones because we are live in church. It seems to work okay. Thank you for the videos.

how did you add the video into obs like that?

Im going to try this tommorow i got muffled sound with final fantasy 13 and i dont want a microphone but i do what freaking dialogue sound in my video any tips? ( sorry it isnt going well i can hear its there but the sound is to high ) Btw im trying to film not live stream

How can I add speaker or mics or headset to obs (to add on advanced settings)?

Dude, it's been a while since i've watched your channel and your editing has reached next level! Are you editing these videos yourself?

I have a infinite audio loop when I live stream on RU-vid. I don’t know how to fix that. Any help would appreciated.

Does this make VBCable unnecessary for routing all of your audio sources into a zoom meeting?

Audio routing is always complex and OBS tries but it is still awkward to do. And it all gets way more complex if you have anything that wants or needs to talk ASIO (e.g. DAWs), because OBS can't capture that. I had to use a plugin that can do ASIO input, and then use a third-party audio routing app to make everything move where I wanted it to.

Do you have any recommended audio gear? (Ex. Microphones, Interfaces, Headphones)

trying to record from Xbox Series X video quality is great, but the audio is terrible sounds like there is audio loss. Got any solutions?

Nice one sir

Only thing with Win Capture that I cant get to work is with Xbox party chat audio. I've tried adding the Xbox app and Xbox game bar and still no audio comes through. Discord works perfectly, but if im playing with Xbox friends, I cant get it to capture the audio. Currently the only way i've been able to have an Xbox party in my stream is using the Desktop audio default. Anyone have any idea how to get an Xbox party chat to work with Win Capture in OBS?

You using the Melonapp/scenes while you stream on RU-vid. So you can have multiple guests scenes all at the same time. I like the video as well.

Running an analog mixer into computer to obs. Need SOOOH much help. But I am doing this for my church (read no money for expert so get the person who knows computer stuff to do it). Do I need to check levels of each mic, instrument separately? How? Prayed for help all day today.

There's stuff that appears after setting up new profile that needs to be clicked. There is a whole dialog Box that opens up, which is not featured in your Illustrations how do we go about it

hello, my audio sound works intermittently, what's the problem, thanks for your help

8:10 does the new "Application Audio Beta" eliminate the need for this "Win-Capture" plugin?

What you play nice tutoet league on?

Amazing. I have a Q: Recently I join some Video-Chat pages like Omegle, Ome TV etc. and I want the one whom I am connected with to hear me, and then I decide to let him/her hear a sound effect or music, is it possible in any way to make that job done on OBS? Or this requires a whole different program? I will be very thankful for any comment.

Help! The plug is crashing, I don't know why. It does not occur often and most often during a stream after some time.

I'm sure people who watch this channel will become great RU-vidrs and streamers

How about an audio video for streaming with a Elgato 4K60, xbox and 1 PC?

just tried to live stream and sounded like I was in the bathroom. thanks for the info and tutorial

Yessss

SNice tutorialt, it's the nice tuto

is there a way to monitor your own mic without any delay?

worked for . On default it was at Agressive TE for but I clicked to the right

you blew my eardrums out

Using obs for church streaming. During singing the sound keeps dropping out. Can you do a video for us to solve this problem please

Can u teach how to use nexus

I am having trouble. I stream to Facebook via Obs. I use Xbox series X to capture card to my PC and Obs. I can not for some reason hear my discord team mates on Obs. I have tried the plugin to separate my audio. Still does not work. If I use Party chat with my Xbox buddies, works fine, captures audio, sounds good. I play with some PS5 guys, obviously they can't join party chat. So with join a discord room and I get my audio but none of my buddies. So in stream I'm talking to myself it seems but I hear them like normal through headset. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!! ANYONE.

0:49 why does your stream look like it was captured in 720p even though you upload it in 4K... are you running it through snap camera? the output on that is 720 even if you feed it a 4K signal.

Hi Michael, thanks for this video. Was hoping you’d cover this question. How does one remove an audio source from audio mixer section? For some unknown reason, my game audio is coming thru on my “starting stream” scene but it’s not in the list of sources for the scene. But it appears in the mixer and comes thru to viewers. I couldn’t find a way to remove it and thought I’d work Around it by muting in advance but that seems to affect ALL instances of that audio source.

bro i am not getting any tracks into my soft how is that possible

I have never seen anyone address the following issue. I have OBS connected to a Virtual Audio Cable to Google Meet. I have scenes with music and sound that I switch to when teaching my students. They can hear the scenes that I switch to or the browser window that I open and capture in OBS. I want to hear (monitor) the scene sounds going to Google Meet, BUT I don't want to hear my voice from the mic being sent back to me in my headphones. It produces an echo that makes it impossible to talk. I wish OBS had an "Output not monitor" option in advanced settings for my mic audio.

but I can't figure out how to turn those softs into softs you know what I an

BEEST!!!

The obs 🤴 king

Hi Friend, I like your video to much. I am 60 year old, 37 year experienced inter college principal. I have old i3 laptop with 6 gb ram. But OBS not run properly in my laptop. What can I do my son.

I haven’t created a single project on there. On my iPhone and iPad on the other hand, I’ve created multiple s and soft in just one

Im confused what the guest window is for? Is this how we segregate our stream viewers?

ye

LOL i hate to break it to ya my friend, but i dont think you really need the old man filter :P

Comment for algorithm. Beep bop boop.

👋

nothing but help

My headphones aren't showing up as a monitoring device...

Very good information here. Quick note for future reference: the viewer has to wait about a whole 4 minutes(that’s ages In Todays society) before you get started solving their problem. Maybe flip the delivery and see what changes! Keep it up!

and sa tNice tutorialng other way around

I watched tNice tutorials baked af it actually helps if you get into it

Obs doesn't work for what I do.

Lemme start with this, You have great content! Seriously. I really find a lot of useful information here. But sometimes. Chalkboard eats nails. It's that intro, if you're listening with crappy headphones worth ~40... And not paying attention to audio levels; as everything else works fine (Pograms/music/etc). If in a chill and vulnerable mood while I have your horn of a voice blaring an inch from my eardrum (bet it's more). I'm not a scientist. Just a constructive critic. TL;DR Compared your video to that of a kid who's got an almost exact video outlining similar content. Noticed his intro didn't make me click *backpage*, 0.01-0.012 ms of being verbally assaulted with a greeting. The kid had his vid up for half the time as one of your biggest with the same amount of views. Other than it's seperated by a year+, the biggest difference was, the kid was chill. Maybe that means scaling that audio back, idk. You have great content! Tried making this funny. I aint no chevy chase. I am on ur side and if this isn't humorous... by all means derRreet it. But try re-doing a video to use as a pilot concept and try a more relaxed intro. Ease us into your siren voice. Or don't! I do wish you the best and hope to use what I learned here for when I seriously get into video editing!! Blessings to your endeavors! That wwas a shitty tldr

!!!!

:D

too much 'how', not enough 'why'

Finn Seeger just right click and it’ll appear again

Why am I here? I don't even know what OBS stands for?

A Lil bit confusion there

ultimate mix minus for OBS!

This video is impossible for me to follow. The complexity of what you are doing is hard to duplicate unless you have an exact scenario as you have. I do not. I have to be the dumbest person in the world because my setup has no guests (that part of the tutorial is irrelevant), I just want to capture my headset microphone, some background music occasionally and the game sounds and that's it. The lack of just this simple setup and how the microphone is configured when it is a part of the headset is so difficult to understand in how you explained it that I feel I am now more confused watching this video then if I never watched this video. I do not stream my webcam I just stream my headset mic, sometimes background music and the game. Three things that produce sound and that is it. The problem I have is the microphone is constantly picking up the game audio and the desktop audio and I can't for the love of God figure out how to separate the headset mic to JUST RECORD MY VOICE! Why is this so dang hard to figure out! I feel so damn stupid I can't get this. *sad panda* I can add JUST the headset mic (Audio Input Capture) and all the settings in OBS under Audio are disabled and the mic audio is halfway in the green with NO background processes creating audio/noise and no speaking being done in a completely silent room. It's like its picking up the harmonic resonance of the universe for all I know and I have no darn idea what this is!!! I may have to call Ancient Alients or something as to why my mic is picking up something in a dead silent room with no computer noise or background app or program running with a completely silent computer running in an shielded noise-blocking case and still the audio meter is dancing around in the mid greens of the bar. Is the mic picking up my brain waves? Who the hell knows! I must have the most sensitive microphone on the planet. /facepalm If you could just create a video explaining how to setup JUST the audio from a mic and JUST the game sound correctly it would be tremendously helpful. I need it simple because the convoluted nature of desktop audio is so unintuitive in Windows its just frustrating and I blame my dumb brain and BILL GATES for this! ACK!!!
