Really helpful tips bro! I have a question though. I tried playing a game, but the sound was rerouted to Media instead of Gaming and I cannot change that. Would that be a problem for the stream or recording?
This has worked great besides one issue. This only happens when I try to play call of duty. I have everything set up just as you showed and whenever I load up COD it automatically gets loaded into the MIC channel and for whatever reason it wont allow me to manually move the COD app to the GAME channel. Do you know of a fix for this or why it would be occurring?
Thanks for the awesome vid, just one question: For some reason my mic mix is going in as mono, not stereo, through the stream mix. is there a way to fix that? I'd like to keep the stream mix stereo so that directional audio can be heard on stream :/
This is godly. i tried to do this myself over a year ago using wave link but never thought to have the stream mix by itself and have the separate audio inputs off the 1st track. Super appreciate this tutorial mate!
Thank you for this super clear guide! I've watched this video months ago and have been using Sonar ever since. After a recent software update, OBS decided to forget all my Audio Device settings. But after running through this video again, I got everything up and running again within 5 minutes. Thanks man!
I had to pause at 8 minutes because I have so much to say, I'll forget if I don't comment immediately LOL 1. Already another banger video posted at the perfect time 2. Somehow I was completely unaware of Sonar's existence and is exactly what I have been looking for. The UI is a lot more pleasing to look at than others. 3. I like what you said about horizontal layouts 4. Your in-time examples were amazing yet discrete. 5. Also, congratulations on the family, man !!! You are great at problem solving and put much thought into the things you care about. You're gonna do great. Alright now to finish watching haha!!
Hey! I was starting my UA-cam Channel a while ago and I came across your video and you've basically helped me setup all my audio because of this one suggestion. I want you to know I'm eternally thankful for this! You're amazing!
really love your content! you make such helpful, easy to follow videos and i've really appreciated having such a vast library of helpful content to learn from. just started streaming and honestly couldn't have done it without your vids!
Thank you for the great tutorial here :) I would only add a single thing. When you configure OBS on the recording output, I would probably recommend (if you configure everything as LJ did) to uncheck audio track (which is your stream mix), because if you will not, then you will got one track, that contains all the streamed sounds combined which duplicate every other track,just combined, which is useless. Ofcourse, you can pretty much just mute or remove it completely, but if you limited to you computing resources, removing the whole track from a recording will save you a tiny bit of resources of your precious CPU for yourself :)
I've had access to Sonar for awhile as I own one of their headsets, but haven't ever used it or turned it on. They really should use your video as a "how to" and "why would you use this" official video. Now I understand how useful and important this software could be! Thank you!
@@footballtalk4857True but honestly until this video I never took more than a 20 second peak at it and turned it off. I didn't see a need for it in my setup. This provided that "ah hah!" moment.
Wanted to say how this video is life changing for people who want to stream or record videos. I appreciate this video is here to help me and others. Great and simple to do video!
Thank you for all the great info! I'm not great with this kind of stuff, so this might be a nonsense thing to say, but you mentioned there being lag when trying to monitor your mic by adding it to the personal mix. I noticed that there's a button underneath the Master sliders, next to the mute button for the stream slider. It looks like an ear, and when you hover over it, it says, "Listen to what your audience hears". I clicked that and was able to hear myself, and there wasn't any lag. (To be exact, there was maybe a split second difference between me saying something and me hearing it, but I only noticed when specifically listening for it.) I don't know if that's the same function you're referring to when talking about monitoring lag, or if that's something that's helpful. It was helpful for me while not streaming to be able to make some adjustments; I had Spotify and this video playing, and used those in place of game audio to fiddle with the mic settings. Hopefully it helps someone else, too! (If I'm totally off-base, please disregard. Like I said, I'm trash when it comes to audio tech/mixing/etc.) Here's a link to a screenshot of the button, in case that helps too: photos.app.goo.gl/Rh4c9yiT9nxgehof6
This tutorial was really helpful for me as I wanted to record and stream at the same time while still having those separate audio tracks so I could make the gameplay or my friends louder or quieter, so as a thank you, here's a like and a comment!
Thanks for the info I went ahead and set up my audio like this and its really helped. One question though. How come when I stream to Stream labs OBS the audio doesn't split into multiple channels when pulled from the vod on twitch but only does so when recording through OBS not streaming live? Any assistance would greatly help. I took it as it would seperate the aduio levels regardless of where it was coming from at that point
dude this is so good...I'm only 60 seconds in but I can feel that you've "been through it all" with OBS lol. I use a different method but yea...watching now...
hey i commented about this before and looked at it, it was a mess lol. So i have a question/concern with sonar about the submixing. So when i add the stream mix its self that all the channels into one that i can control the app which is fine and works perfectly the issue im noticing is when i add the separate tracks (AUX, GAME, MEDIA) to obs on there own (mainly to avoid music in my vods) the app does not effect those tracks on obs just the stream mix track and so im really confused on that because isnt the whole point for me to control the audio through the app for the those tracks
@streamScheme You have been a big help in getting my Streaming off the ground. At about the 4:50 minute mark. It looks like you had Destiny 2 in both the Game and Chat channels. Im kinda of lost on how you did that part. Everything else so far lines up on my end. Appreciate all the content you have for sure!
El Jay, great video & walk through. Noob question: when adding Discord audio, would I drag & assign it to Chat in Sonar or add a seperate Audio source in OBS? If I assigned it to Chat, then I would have to add an extra track in OBS so I could separate the audio when mixing if needed. Any thoughts from you or chat would be greatly appreciated.
Love This! Liking & Following because I've had SteelSeries software and extra sonar audio inputs for the longest time and never understood them until now! The Only thing I missed/dont understand on here is how do I need it set up if I dont want the music playing in my VOD's but still want viewers to hear music on the livestream itself? Any help with that would be appreciated! If I missed it, please just give me a timestamp. Please & Thank You!
Ok I just finished a game record. When I watch back in MKV I heard everyone but when I make it a MP4 all I heard is me and not the other people in my discord. What am I doing wrong?
Thank You for this video man ! It made it possible to route the Rode Connect App Trough the Aux channel of SSGG and have "the" clean sound I was looking for, Thanks again , YES !
I followed all steps exactly, but when I open the media into my video editor it is still all combined as 1 audio, i'm not getting the individual tracks of audio
This helped me so much. is there a video for if I want to do both recording for a YT video and Streaming on YT and Twitch? not many out there explaining it or many videos on it.
i actually legit have learned so much. i wish i watched this video when i started 4 years ago. never knew how important audio was until this video.... AND REMUXING IS A THING?! I legit have been converting my .mkv on out cloud convertor online.... christ.
I have been fighting battles for my blue yeti mic to sound good without all the background noise but not sounding muffled... this.. THIS sis what I needed as well as the different controls 😭
Great video, I am surprised that OBS does not have this option built into the software. I am going to set this up sometime this week. Thank you again for your time and for creating this video.
Wait, but if everything is going through the master mix, then I'm not able to put audio filters onto my mic output... Do I have to have everything go out of the master mix for the multiple exports to work?
I have set everything up exactly and still running into an issue. Even if i mute my microphone on OBS it still transmits my microphone through the Stream mix. I also used Sonar to change the mic, The stream mix is picking up the raw mic and not the Sonar edited version. any ideas?
Hey, I've followed this guide to a T. and i keep hearing my discord members through my own stream mix and i make no sound over my stream, had 60hours of footage you could just hear my friends talking, it says i need to route my discord properly but ive watched your vid and multiple others PLEASE HELP
Is there a specific editing software you use? In mine, it doesn't separate the audio into different sections when I put my video into the editing software.
call me boring but because of the specific window capture of audio feature that's been added to OBS you don't really need to use sonar anymore for this
Obs audio splitting is absolutely terrible and prone to issues. Win capture audio was the best solution as you could add multi exe's to a single source. But even that is having choppy audio issues now as of recently
@@reaperzrides3094you're right, i used win capture plugin for a year but a couple of months ago i encountered audio crackling issues regarding this plugin, and never found a Solution, so I had to uninstall it Steelseries sonar is a great option but have some issues routing audio at first glance, some alternatives could be Rode unify but have the same issues, and voicemeeter but this one presents a lot of latency
Hello, following everything you said in the settings, how do i just put the mic track on the vod of the transmission? I mean, how do I get my vod with out any music?
so glad i have a mixing and engineering background and i can use that experience in streaming, one less hat i have to learn to wear lmao. thank you for recommending this software! big help!
Please make a new update on this video because it was really useful and since the recent new update, I cannot 09:56 do this because sonar says "Routing is not working as expected. Retry or route the audio directly in the app." PLEASE HELPPPPP Thank you :)
amazing information but how would i make sonar suitable as a console creator? do i set as same track or as a different track? would love to see a video showing how to use with console if possible. also noticed in video where it shows audio mixer that all are set as off for audio monitoring, is this normal or do we need them set as monitor and output??? this was not covered in video and would be really useful to know. cheers
I've watched this video and others several times trying to get my SONAR set up and could never get it to work. Either I would have no sound when i go to edit, or no discord sound. Sometimes it works, other times something randomly resets and I have to spend HOURS trying to trouble shoot and once I fix one of the problems it creates two more. I ended up completely uninstalling OBS and re did all my settings and deleted SONAR forever.
I don't know if you look at comments on this video anymore but I have a question. If I have a capture card hooked up between and xbox and my laptop and use obs for streaming will this work. I ask because 1. My mic is plugged into the laptop but my headphones would be hooked up to my xbox controller. 2. All the audio from the games and music woukd be coming from the xbox through the capture card So would you even be able to create a seperate audio setting for say amazon music opened on an app on xbox playing in the background if its coming through the same capture card as the game audio?
I’ve just copied these settings and wow it’s made such a huge difference to my mic quality during recordings! I’ve just noticed however that when I am in a chat with a friend on steam and recording my gameplay my audio from my mic sounds really good and I can hear random other players mics but my friends mic is completely off. I can hear him during the game etc but he’s completely muted during the recordings? Any thoughts on why this is happening??
Hi, I enjoy your videos and have watch many of them for streaming upgrades and extra stuff. But In this video i watched it many times and having some issues with where to out my alerts at and where to put what on each track. Do I put them under gaming track or stream mix track? Also same for my overlay sounds for my overlay music and their sounds they make like my transitions panel. please help I would appreciate it. Thanks. So to break down what I'm needing help with is: What tracks for these Alerts My sounds from my overlay My screen music, S.S, E.S, BRB.S, and Just chat/video replay screens Also does my pc sound settings need to be on ss gaming or stream mix as my default? So sorry for all the questions, but wished that was included on the video, As a person coming back into the streaming side again, there's a new learning curb for me. I have searched so many You tube videos for a answer, but have not found any for specifics on everything. If it is too much to list, I can always send you my email if that would help to send it there. Thanks again for amazing videos.
Great video thank you. I ran into a problem with the very first setting you show roughly around time 3:08, where you show to add Sonar Stream to mic/aux audio 1. This is the problem I am having. I set this up like you show but no audio is picked up and what audio does get through is clipped. How do I fix this? I found I had to set the sonar stream to Desktop 1 to recieve audio in the OBS mixer. What am I doing wrong?
When I finished recording and put it into the editor, the six audio things did not pop up. I’m not super certain what I did incorrect, and in the recorded video my Spotify music is extremely loud, even though it is at like level four out of 100
Thankyou for this! This is so much better then what I was doing. Quick question, for other audio sources such as alert box, sound alerts, mixitup etc, how would we go putting those into obs as seperate audio tracks?
So I've set everything up as in the video and it's great, however... Because the audio is now global... I can't turn things off per scene like I was doing previously by adding the audio sources for mic, game sound etc per their own scene. Unless I'm missing something?
This is a pain in the back. I set it up exactly how you described and since then all my videos are constatly muted. I have gone in and tried to change things but honestly at this point I have no clue what I am doing. I just wanted my mic on a channel, game on a channel and thats about it. I dont do anything else with it so confused whe I can not get it to work. It also seems every time I switch to a different layout then I have to redo everything.
im not sure why but my discord is only on the stream mix and when editing i cant hear my friends without having all the other audio unedited, can anyone help?
I don't know if it is due to an update or something else, but I set up my audio exactly as it is in the video. However, at a later date, when watching through a random part of a VOD, I noticed there was no sound whatsoever. I discovered that it was due to the wrong audio track being selected on the "Twitch VOD Track" section that is under the Settings -> Output -> Advanced -> Streaming section. However, this setting doesn't appear on your video and I can only select one track to play on the VODs. Which means all audio or no audio. Please help
I have watched your video and several others and I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I'm using OBS with Sonar, followed your instructions and when I go back to watch my video on twitch, the only audio is my microphone. and the stream audience is not hearing anything either. maybe there's a button I forgot to click? everything shows up in Sonar and my audio mixer appears to be receiving sound in OBS but nothing is making it to the stream or the reduxed videos in twitch after stream. If you have any ideas I would greatly appreciate the help! I've started over and followed your video 3 x now. lol
Awesome Video. Thanks for all the help with the stream setup tutorials. Just a Quick Question, Once I set up everything like you said I have 3 "OBS Studio" apps inside of Sonar. One in "game" with the headphone icon, the other in "Media" with the headphone icon, and the last one in "Chat" with the mic icon. Is this correct? or did i mess up something?
Hi and a BIG thanks for a great channel!! I have watch a lot of your videos to setup SteelSeries together with OBS. But I can't find how to actually get Discord for a separate sound track. The problem I have is that you don't hear my team mates from our Discord chat. And it seams that I cant drag Discord to chat in SteelSeries. Pls can you help me or link to a video of you explaining that :)
Hope this helps you guys split or separate your audio! :)

amazing information but how would i make sonar suitable as a console creator? do i set as same track or as a different track? would love to see a video showing how to use with console if possible. also noticed in video where it shows audio mixer that all are set as off for audio monitoring, is this normal or do we need them set as monitor and output??? this was not covered in video and would be really useful to know. cheers
I wanted to set up audio without complicating it but this tutorial is explained so through that I feel comfortable giving it a go, thanks :)
Update: tried it today, didn’t like how it operated, the levels in OBS recordings are so low for some reason, probably uninstalling tmw
@@Kingofstorms0 yeah same, doesn't seem to be working and just a headache
Quick question, though. For SFX like Channel Point redeems that are just media sources in OBS that get turned on and off, how would you route that?
Yeah I was wondering that myself as I watched this. I would guess it all go through channel 1 though as that is the everything channel.
If desktop Audio 2 is set to SS Sonar - Media; Shouldn't it also be set to track 2 in advanced properties?
Definitely gonna rewatch it once I get to set it up for myself, thanks a bunch!
Where would u have discord if u have those all set up that way if u have music mic game audio and the mixer by chance
I've watched this video and others several times trying to get my SONAR set up and could never get it to work. Either I would have no sound when i go to edit, or no discord sound. Sometimes it works, other times something randomly resets and I have to spend HOURS trying to trouble shoot and once I fix one of the problems it creates two more. I ended up completely uninstalling OBS and re did all my settings and deleted SONAR forever.
what editing software do you use?
This was such a huge help! Your awesome! Keep up the awesome content! 🫂
Beautiful. How do you separate indivudual in-game game voice chat audio from game pew pew and game music audio?
thank you so much i was about to look for this and i see you uploading video about this
love your video, i started make some videos for tiktok, i want to ask, what app is good for editing a videos?
so thats all cool and all but one question whats your editing software? on screen? @ 11:11
premiere pro, but davinci is free
i know it's been a while since you posted this. but just now finding it. what software do you use to edit the videos after this?
I don't know if you look at comments on this video anymore but I have a question. If I have a capture card hooked up between and xbox and my laptop and use obs for streaming will this work. I ask because 1. My mic is plugged into the laptop but my headphones would be hooked up to my xbox controller. 2. All the audio from the games and music woukd be coming from the xbox through the capture card So would you even be able to create a seperate audio setting for say amazon music opened on an app on xbox playing in the background if its coming through the same capture card as the game audio?
I’ve just copied these settings and wow it’s made such a huge difference to my mic quality during recordings! I’ve just noticed however that when I am in a chat with a friend on steam and recording my gameplay my audio from my mic sounds really good and I can hear random other players mics but my friends mic is completely off. I can hear him during the game etc but he’s completely muted during the recordings? Any thoughts on why this is happening??
Can you do this for a dual pc setup with a capture card?
Hi, I enjoy your videos and have watch many of them for streaming upgrades and extra stuff. But In this video i watched it many times and having some issues with where to out my alerts at and where to put what on each track. Do I put them under gaming track or stream mix track? Also same for my overlay sounds for my overlay music and their sounds they make like my transitions panel. please help I would appreciate it. Thanks.
So to break down what I'm needing help with is: What tracks for these
Alerts
My sounds from my overlay
My screen music, S.S, E.S, BRB.S, and Just chat/video replay screens
Also does my pc sound settings need to be on ss gaming or stream mix as my default?
So sorry for all the questions, but wished that was included on the video, As a person coming back into the streaming side again, there's a new learning curb for me.
I have searched so many You tube videos for a answer, but have not found any for specifics on everything. If it is too much to list, I can always send you my email if that would help to send it there. Thanks again for amazing videos.
Great video thank you. I ran into a problem with the very first setting you show roughly around time 3:08, where you show to add Sonar Stream to mic/aux audio 1. This is the problem I am having. I set this up like you show but no audio is picked up and what audio does get through is clipped. How do I fix this? I found I had to set the sonar stream to Desktop 1 to recieve audio in the OBS mixer. What am I doing wrong?
having same problem, let me know if u fixed it.
Audio settings not meshing is the stuff of nightmares. Thank you for this!!
When I finished recording and put it into the editor, the six audio things did not pop up. I’m not super certain what I did incorrect, and in the recorded video my Spotify music is extremely loud, even though it is at like level four out of 100
@StreamScheme This is super helpful, but how do I get this to not pick up spotify in the VOD to avoid copyright strikes
Thankyou for this! This is so much better then what I was doing.
Quick question, for other audio sources such as alert box, sound alerts, mixitup etc, how would we go putting those into obs as seperate audio tracks?
I would also like to know how to do this.
So I've set everything up as in the video and it's great, however... Because the audio is now global... I can't turn things off per scene like I was doing previously by adding the audio sources for mic, game sound etc per their own scene. Unless I'm missing something?
Do you know if theres any way to add capture card audio to sonar? I have it OBS anyway but it would be nice to have everything in one place
This is a pain in the back. I set it up exactly how you described and since then all my videos are constatly muted. I have gone in and tried to change things but honestly at this point I have no clue what I am doing. I just wanted my mic on a channel, game on a channel and thats about it. I dont do anything else with it so confused whe I can not get it to work. It also seems every time I switch to a different layout then I have to redo everything.
im not sure why but my discord is only on the stream mix and when editing i cant hear my friends without having all the other audio unedited, can anyone help?
Does this works for sound alerts too?
I don't know if it is due to an update or something else, but I set up my audio exactly as it is in the video. However, at a later date, when watching through a random part of a VOD, I noticed there was no sound whatsoever. I discovered that it was due to the wrong audio track being selected on the "Twitch VOD Track" section that is under the Settings -> Output -> Advanced -> Streaming section. However, this setting doesn't appear on your video and I can only select one track to play on the VODs. Which means all audio or no audio. Please help
Great Video! How does this work or can it work with ps5 and Discord?
ok how do i record an audio but not let my stream hear it?
What About for Mac OS?????
life saver thanks so much for the video
I have watched your video and several others and I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I'm using OBS with Sonar, followed your instructions and when I go back to watch my video on twitch, the only audio is my microphone. and the stream audience is not hearing anything either. maybe there's a button I forgot to click? everything shows up in Sonar and my audio mixer appears to be receiving sound in OBS but nothing is making it to the stream or the reduxed videos in twitch after stream. If you have any ideas I would greatly appreciate the help! I've started over and followed your video 3 x now. lol
Elgato Wave link vs Casterlabs Caffeinated vs Steelseries Sonar? Which one do you recommend more?
Awesome Video. Thanks for all the help with the stream setup tutorials. Just a Quick Question, Once I set up everything like you said I have 3 "OBS Studio" apps inside of Sonar. One in "game" with the headphone icon, the other in "Media" with the headphone icon, and the last one in "Chat" with the mic icon. Is this correct? or did i mess up something?
Hi and a BIG thanks for a great channel!! I have watch a lot of your videos to setup SteelSeries together with OBS. But I can't find how to actually get Discord for a separate sound track. The problem I have is that you don't hear my team mates from our Discord chat. And it seams that I cant drag Discord to chat in SteelSeries. Pls can you help me or link to a video of you explaining that :)
Better than Voicemeeter? can it do vst plugins?
@streamscheme Are you able to remove spotify audio from vods using sonar?
