Thank you so much for mentioning needing to press the 48v button if you're using a condenser mic! I was trying to figure out for about 39 minutes why I couldn't get OBS to pick up any sound thru my mic...all I needed to do was press that button. Saved me a lot of time!

Hi! Can i use Focusrite 2i2 to get different tracks for the different inputs? In this example, so that voice goes to one audio track and guitar goes to another separated audio track in OBS?
i had bad sound forever going fromOBS to FB live and couldn't figure it out- like a phased sound, then I watched your video and finally realised these other tracks where all catching audio at the same time. When i disabled them like you said, it was fine! :) Thanks
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I want to start live streaming on UA-cam and singing live with pre-made instrumentals and a mic only. Just need to figure out how to best do that if there's no actual instruments involved...
Well done. Thank you. I was wondering why my videos were playing only in one side or my headphones......I needed to check the MONO box in the settings. Thanks for that.
Thank you very much i think you resolved an issue i was having by your wonderful explanation as getting both my mic and guitar to work together wasnt happening nobody ever explained to put it to mono and only have tracks 1 and 2 selected thank you again wish i came across this sooner 🤘

Hi Rahul, yes you can host in a DAW here is guidance of how to set this up on Mac (see point 3): support.focusrite.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360013026019-How-to-set-up-your-Focusrite-audio-interface-with-Zoom-on-a-Mac
If you don't have one of our interfaces with a loopback feature, this can be a tricky task, but there are ways to make it work. You can play the audio from a device like a phone or a tablet by connecting an aux chord to one of the inputs via a 3.5mm to 1/4 inch TRS cable. Or you can use a third-party internal audio routing program such as Soundflower to send route audio from Logic to the inputs in OBS. Please let us know if this helps or if you have additional questions.
Txs for the top explanation. Am looking for an interface for android, -means i want to sing on an android app smule or starmaker and the mobile headset (Android phone/USB C input) is not enough for a good vocal, what kind of usb / DC interface is ideal to connect the interface to a microphone then to a smartphone first. The interface could also be connected to PC or Ipad or laptop for live streaming. Do I need a mixer and a power supplied interface (as the interface without power would use the smartphone battery) Or a device like Yamaha AG06, Focusrite or Behring uc22? Txs for your kind support
This did not help me. My FocusRite is getting signal from the 1/4" that goes to a Tip and Ring RCA to my NuMark Mixtrack Platinum FX BUT my Audio Input Capture Source is not receiving signal. It's probably a settings issue either with my PC or OBS as Serato Lite does not have much settings to toy with.
I had this same issue. It seems the Scarlet treats each input as a single line. An RCA to 1/4" RCA Y cable won't work unless you unplug the left or right channel on the RCA side or get an RCA to Dual TRS and plug 1/4" into lines 1 and 2. There may be a way to correct for this in the Focusrite Control software but I wasn't able to find a setting which worked.
So my only issue is when I play along to music there seems to be a latency issue. play in time with the audio but on the viewers end i am a half beat or so off from the music. Any ideas or know how to prevent that from happening?
Perhaps you already figured it out, but you need to set offsets. You can do that in the Mixer on OBS or whatever software. Just start a recording and try out some offsets on the sources that need it, then stop the recording and listen to see if they're synced.
Ive got my audio interface plugged in, Ive got all the settings as you said and I can hear myself back in the headphones although I dont know what through, because Ibve only got obs open and its NOT picking up my mic!
It sounds like you may have direct monitoring engaged, this has the effect of routing the signal received at the inputs, straight out to the outputs. If you contact our Support Team, they can help you get set up in OBS - bit.ly/FocusriteSupport
This was soooo helpful. I do have one question and if it was addressed already, I apologize, but can you adjust the sound (quality, reverb, compression, etc) using this program? Or is it just straight "what goes in is what comes out"?
Hey, it's the latter I'm afraid; you can 'host' in a DAW with use of third-party software, or (depending on the interface you have) use external FX units. OBS may have VSTs you can use.
i tried using the existing mic/aux and it just wouldn't work and i couldnt figure out why. I did as you said and simply made a new audio input capture and BOOM it picked up my audio interface. I spent Hours trying to figure this out. Thank you very much for this tutorial.
my issue is.... getting this setup.... but... having the dry of the guitar and mic muted then having the Daw of my choice run fx for my guitar and mic then out put it to OBS or other apps on my computer. have not found a way to make this work properly for the 18i8 3rd gen. I want to use zoom, xbox companion for party chat, twitch, facebook live... steam, discord.. basically be able to use my guitar fx through anything and everything as well as my mic so I can do a legit Studio Quality recording.
Hey can you help me I want to post videos to UA-cam of me singing and playing guitar but the audio from the phones wasn’t very good so I brought a focusrite can anyone tell me how to film video and sound at the same time ?
same problem. 6+ months later. still no high quality solution. Focusrite needs to make different settings for input options. create a bypass setup and such for starters.
hi, I have a focusrite, but the audio is stuck in the interface. it does not come out my computer or in the live stream. it's only in the headphones connected to the focusrite. how do I make the sound come out of my laptop ?
When Scarlett is connected as your audio device, it takes over all input/output for your computer. There is no official way to make sound come out of your Scarlett and computer speakers, so we recommend connecting speakers to the line outputs on Scarlett or monitoring through headphones. If you need more assistance troubleshooting your setup, please reach out to our support team here: bit.ly/FocusriteSupport
Very helpful i've encountered 1 issue though i noticed my audio is separated guitar on the right side of the headphone vocals on the left side how can i fix that to both end being captured the Guitar and the Vocals tendency is if a viewer only listen to 1 earphone he/she can only hear either yhe guitar or vocals only
If you want to send DAW audio output to OBS you will need a third-party internal routing program. There's a collection of programs dedicated to this, one of them being Rogue Amoeba's Loopback. rogueamoeba.com/loopback/
So, when playing the backing tracks and playing along, I play as normal and in time but when I play the videos back, there is a second laceneny between backing track and guitar? Any suggestions on how i can sort this?

So, we can't set up two different tracks on OBS? The signal from the focusrite is a mono signal, with the two channels? I have two microfones, how to set-up? Thanks a lot!

Is it possible to route mic's input to external speaker using this audio interface device? Need help setting up in-person and virtual meeting on zoom at same time. So in-person participants can listen from external speaker and zoom users through zoom app. I found Mic's input is not routing to external speaker if we connect cable from Line Output to external speaker's Line In.
If we understand you correctly, yes. That's possible. When connected to your computer and selected as the audio input/output device, Scarlett will pass all audio to and from your computer. Audio from your Zoom call will be output to headphones/speakers connected to your Scarlett. A microphone connected to your Scarlett would capture your voice for use in the Zoom call.

How do I make obs receive spdif in from my audio interface in stereo panned left and right? I only know how to add spdif 1 and spdif 2 separately each as mono inputs for audio source in obs
You would probably need to run the audio through a DAW first and then into OBS (likely using an internal routing software such as BlackHole or Soundflower).
I have a 8i6 interface. I am trying to route audio from my DJM900NXS2 mixer to OBS. I have the Master out of the mixer connected to the line inputs, but OBS only allows me to pick only Analog 1+2. How do I get audio from the mixer into OBS?
You can't expand the number of inputs OBS accepts, so you will have to do some channel summing somewhere. You could run the mixer into the interface and then choose the corresponding line in OBS. You could also play around with internal audio routing software/drivers such as Soundflower or BlackHole, which would allow you to use the audio from your DAW as an input in OBS. Hope this helps.
i bought a scarlett 4i4 3gen a few months ago just because i could use the loopback function in the daw, but one day i realized the loopback function just the same as the OBS Audio Output Capture if you only record low sample rate(
Hi there! Other companies do make software similar to Loopback. It's a personal preference as to which one works best for your setup. Bri // Focusrite US 🇺🇸
I'm using Saffire Pro 40, 8 channels. Is that possible? It is working only with the first two channels of the interface. Can't figure out how to use all of them.
Actually I did not solve this but I figured out a work around. I'm using a small mixer plus the first two inputs of my audio interface. Could not find a way to use all the channels. I did a small research on this and the only information I've found was that these programs only work with 2 interface channels.
Can I ask you please what if I want to stream my live show how do I feed all the sound to external mixer to my audience? And stream same time how do I hook it to external mixer ?thanks
would I use a interface with direct monitoring or should I use a microphone on my amp directly through obs? trying to record covers and not have latency
It's not entirely clear what you're asking. Either way you would need an interface to get the analogue audio data from your mic'd amp into the digital realm of your computer. Using the Direct Monitor feature doesn't affect the signal chain at all in terms of processing; it's simply a tool that bypasses the computer and sends the audio straight to your headphones to monitor. So it really depends on what your setup is. We're happy to chat more about this via DMs on our social channels.
Is there a way to separate the 1 and 2 audio channel so I can have 1 with my mic and 2 with my guitar. It's incredibly annoying how i cant use my mic at all if i want to stream the guitar audio and vice versa. Bcs the thing is ONLY audio channel 1 actually gets through to OBS and channel 2 doesnt seem to work AT ALL. And even if it did, I still want to put a VST filter (neural dsp) on my guitar audio so its not just a very mild and quite honestly, BAD clean sound, and so if I use Neural DSP to get dist, a better clean, or whatever, my MICROPHONE also gets it. I dont really feel like speaking with distortion, delay or reverb.
Hi, we're sorry to hear you are having trouble. If you are working with a 4th gen Scarlett, you should be able to combine the inputs to solve this issue, info on how to do so can be found here: support.focusrite.com/hc/en-gb/articles/14653126009490-Scarlett-Solo-4th-Gen-one-or-two-input-app-compatibility#:~:text=Open%20Preferences%20in%20Focusrite%20Control,Input%201%20and%20Input%202. Please let us know if this helps, or if we can assist further.
I'm trying to do the same thing via Streamlabs, but through the audio interface, just recording a mic, while I speak over a game I play (and stream the game as the video capture in the main window). For the game's audio, I've had to use BlackHole to capture the internal audio. However, I've had to set up a Multi Output Device (if you're familiar with it), but I can't just set up the audio interface as the other output along with blackhole as the Multi-Output device. The audio interface is where my headphones are connected to, to the audio out for headphones, but for some reason I also have to select External Headphones in the Multi Output Device and hook up a second pair of earplugs and headphones to my Macbook, for any sound to actually come out of the headphones in the audio interface. So weird. Does anyone know why I need to also have External Headphones selected in the Multi Output Device in the Audio Midi Setup on Mac, for any sound to come out of the headphones on the audio interface? The two are separate headphones... so what's the link exactly lol?
Hi, thanks for reaching out and we're sorry to hear you are having trouble with your Scarlett. It sounds like you are creating an aggregate device, you may have to reorder the outputs on your device to make sure that your audio is assigned to the correct headphone output, you are likely able to disable the built-in audio output in your Audio-Midi settings. If you think there may be a glitch in your computer's audio, you can try resetting your Mac audio preferences. Info on how to do that can be found here: support.focusrite.com/hc/en-gb/articles/206849239-Audio-issues-on-macOS-how-to-reset-Audio-Preferences However, if you would like to troubleshoot further, our support team would be happy to assist you via Live Chat, Email, or phone at the link below: bit.ly/FocusriteSupport

I have a Focusrite 18i8 but we can't for the life of us get the sound from the Focusrite to register or play on the OBS computer we have hooked to it. We have tried EVERRYTHING! Mutiple reboots, disabling Nihimic, a brand new OBS, when we downloaded Focusrite control on this box it said we needed to upgrade the firmware so we did that...(now hope it still works on my DAW box) I KNOW it's something stupid! Please help!

They can troubleshoot this with you today and help you get set up - bit.ly/FocusriteSupport John // Focusrite UK 🇬🇧
In theory, yes that's certainly possible. The process would be slightly different as you would need to route the DAW audio internally, using a virtual audio cable application. Common options include VB-Audio Virtual Cable (Windows), Soundflower and BlackHole (Mac). If you have a Scarlett 4th Gen audio interface this can also be achieved using the dedicated 'Loopback' feature.
Im trying to record my internal audio and my mic at the same time, but it is throwing all the internal audio and mic into a single channel. Please help! Idk why it isn't separating my tracks.
There are a couple possible causes for that. Make sure that there is nothing that could be causing interference near your interface such as a router or a phone. Then you should make sure that your cables are functional, and balanced where they can be. If you are still having trouble, then you should reach out to the support team at this link and explain the issue. bit.ly/FocusriteSupport
I know, I'm trying to screen record my DAW, which has its audio output going through the focusrite, I also have all my audio go through it to use my monitors. I can't figure out how to get OBS to register this audio.
I’ve tried actually everything. I have a iostation24c absolutely everything in every single video I do is correct and it won’t work. I have the mic on my mic and it won’t work. My mic works it’s the apps fault. I have no idea what to do. I have a bluebird xlr condenser mic. Everything’s plugged in. Every other app works perfectly but I can’t hear my mic on any streaming thing like obs or streamlabs. Do you know anything else to try??

I want to use zoom, xbox companion for party chat, twitch, facebook live... steam, discord.. basically be able to use my guitar fx through anything and everything as well as my mic so I can do a legit Studio Quality recording.
Hey can you help me I want to post videos to UA-cam of me singing and playing guitar but the audio from the phones wasn’t very good so I brought a focusrite can anyone tell me how to film video and sound at the same time ?
same problem. 6+ months later. still no high quality solution. Focusrite needs to make different settings for input options. create a bypass setup and such for starters.
Thank you
You're welcome
@@FocusriteHelp I steam about two hrs a day if you wanna throw me some free stuff I can say hey look at this lol 😀
hi, I have a focusrite, but the audio is stuck in the interface. it does not come out my computer or in the live stream. it's only in the headphones connected to the focusrite. how do I make the sound come out of my laptop ?
When Scarlett is connected as your audio device, it takes over all input/output for your computer. There is no official way to make sound come out of your Scarlett and computer speakers, so we recommend connecting speakers to the line outputs on Scarlett or monitoring through headphones.

Very helpful i've encountered 1 issue though i noticed my audio is separated guitar on the right side of the headphone vocals on the left side how can i fix that to both end being captured the Guitar and the Vocals tendency is if a viewer only listen to 1 earphone he/she can only hear either yhe guitar or vocals only
Hi Rafael, see from 5:30; select mono in the advanced audio properties, this will have the same mix in both L & R
anyone know how to disable one of my inputs? i'm capturing the guitar sound from a daw and I don't want the DI coming through on stream
same problems I have. the DI comes through even if I click mute in the focus control settings.
How about the reverb and i use with reaper software?Because i singing and play guitar while facebook live
If you want to send DAW audio output to OBS you will need a third-party internal routing program. There's a collection of programs dedicated to this, one of them being Rogue Amoeba's Loopback.

I need help how to get my DAW and all effects(plug in) send from obs and to zoom.
So, when playing the backing tracks and playing along, I play as normal and in time but when I play the videos back, there is a second laceneny between backing track and guitar? Any suggestions on how i can sort this?
I have the same problem. Still searching for a solution...
I found a great solution to all this bs. I was having no luck also. So watch this video. ua-cam.com/video/tj54m6vl38M/v-deo.html. You just need to download Reaper (Free) and use the ReaStream plugin in Reaper and in OBS / StreamLabs. It's a quick video and it works perfectly. Zero Latency. I'm running a full Reaper scene with EZBass, Steven Slate drums and Archetype Gojira and it's flawless.
So, we can't set up two different tracks on OBS? The signal from the focusrite is a mono signal, with the two channels? I have two microfones, how to set-up? Thanks a lot!
Question can u do the setup process for Mac? For someone who may want to do this while reacting to guitar videos?
Yes, you can use Scarlett as your OBS input on Mac, too.
Do you have a video explaining how to get obs to work with a DAW using the loopback feature. I can never seem to get it to work.
Heres a video that might help: ua-cam.com/video/1n9E7MysMLQ/v-deo.html

Is it possible to route mic's input to external speaker using this audio interface device? Need help setting up in-person and virtual meeting on zoom at same time. So in-person participants can listen from external speaker and zoom users through zoom app. I found Mic's input is not routing to external speaker if we connect cable from Line Output to external speaker's Line In.
If we understand you correctly, yes. That's possible. When connected to your computer and selected as the audio input/output device, Scarlett will pass all audio to and from your computer. Audio from your Zoom call will be output to headphones/speakers connected to your Scarlett. A microphone connected to your Scarlett would capture your voice for use in the Zoom call.

THANKS A LOT MAN
How do I make obs receive spdif in from my audio interface in stereo panned left and right? I only know how to add spdif 1 and spdif 2 separately each as mono inputs for audio source in obs
You would probably need to run the audio through a DAW first and then into OBS (likely using an internal routing software such as BlackHole or Soundflower).
My Liquid saffire 56 doesnt recognize MICs on OBS Mic Capture... i tried so many times and did not work
I have a 8i6 interface. I am trying to route audio from my DJM900NXS2 mixer to OBS. I have the Master out of the mixer connected to the line inputs, but OBS only allows me to pick only Analog 1+2. How do I get audio from the mixer into OBS?
You can't expand the number of inputs OBS accepts, so you will have to do some channel summing somewhere. You could run the mixer into the interface and then choose the corresponding line in OBS. You could also play around with internal audio routing software/drivers such as Soundflower or BlackHole, which would allow you to use the audio from your DAW as an input in OBS. Hope this helps.
how can we transfer the amplitube sound to obs
i bought a scarlett 4i4 3gen a few months ago just because i could use the loopback function in the daw, but one day i realized the loopback function just the same as the OBS Audio Output Capture if you only record low sample rate(
Hi there! Other companies do make software similar to Loopback. It's a personal preference as to which one works best for your setup.

I'm using Saffire Pro 40, 8 channels. Is that possible? It is working only with the first two channels of the interface. Can't figure out how to use all of them.
I’m having the same issue... if you already figured it out would you please share how you did it, please?
Actually I did not solve this but I figured out a work around. I'm using a small mixer plus the first two inputs of my audio interface. Could not find a way to use all the channels. I did a small research on this and the only information I've found was that these programs only work with 2 interface channels.

What do you do if you got a 2011 MacBook Pro?
Can I ask you please what if I want to stream my live show how do I feed all the sound to external mixer to my audience? And stream same time how do I hook it to external mixer ?thanks

would I use a interface with direct monitoring or should I use a microphone on my amp directly through obs? trying to record covers and not have latency
It's not entirely clear what you're asking. Either way you would need an interface to get the analogue audio data from your mic'd amp into the digital realm of your computer. Using the Direct Monitor feature doesn't affect the signal chain at all in terms of processing; it's simply a tool that bypasses the computer and sends the audio straight to your headphones to monitor. So it really depends on what your setup is. We're happy to chat more about this via DMs on our social channels.
Great video.. But i have an issue.. i don't have any options for desktop audio.. help pls only says disabled
Is there a way to separate the 1 and 2 audio channel so I can have 1 with my mic and 2 with my guitar. It's incredibly annoying how i cant use my mic at all if i want to stream the guitar audio and vice versa. Bcs the thing is ONLY audio channel 1 actually gets through to OBS and channel 2 doesnt seem to work AT ALL. And even if it did, I still want to put a VST filter (neural dsp) on my guitar audio so its not just a very mild and quite honestly, BAD clean sound, and so if I use Neural DSP to get dist, a better clean, or whatever, my MICROPHONE also gets it. I dont really feel like speaking with distortion, delay or reverb.
Hi, we're sorry to hear you are having trouble. If you are working with a 4th gen Scarlett, you should be able to combine the inputs to solve this issue, info on how to do so can be found here:
support.focusrite.com/hc/en-gb/articles/14653126009490-Scarlett-Solo-4th-Gen-one-or-two-input-app-compatibility#:~:text=Open%20Preferences%20in%20Focusrite%20Control,Input%201%20and%20Input%202.
Please let us know if this helps, or if we can assist further.
I'm trying to do the same thing via Streamlabs, but through the audio interface, just recording a mic, while I speak over a game I play (and stream the game as the video capture in the main window). For the game's audio, I've had to use BlackHole to capture the internal audio. However, I've had to set up a Multi Output Device (if you're familiar with it), but I can't just set up the audio interface as the other output along with blackhole as the Multi-Output device. The audio interface is where my headphones are connected to, to the audio out for headphones, but for some reason I also have to select External Headphones in the Multi Output Device and hook up a second pair of earplugs and headphones to my Macbook, for any sound to actually come out of the headphones in the audio interface. So weird.
Does anyone know why I need to also have External Headphones selected in the Multi Output Device in the Audio Midi Setup on Mac, for any sound to come out of the headphones on the audio interface? The two are separate headphones... so what's the link exactly lol?
Hi, thanks for reaching out and we're sorry to hear you are having trouble with your Scarlett. It sounds like you are creating an aggregate device, you may have to reorder the outputs on your device to make sure that your audio is assigned to the correct headphone output, you are likely able to disable the built-in audio output in your Audio-Midi settings. If you think there may be a glitch in your computer's audio, you can try resetting your Mac audio preferences. Info on how to do that can be found here: support.focusrite.com/hc/en-gb/articles/206849239-Audio-issues-on-macOS-how-to-reset-Audio-Preferences

I have a Focusrite 18i8 but we can't for the life of us get the sound from the Focusrite to register or play on the OBS computer we have hooked to it. We have tried EVERRYTHING! Mutiple reboots, disabling Nihimic, a brand new OBS, when we downloaded Focusrite control on this box it said we needed to upgrade the firmware so we did that...(now hope it still works on my DAW box) I KNOW it's something stupid!

Can you use this technique to stream a session on your DAW?
In theory, yes that's certainly possible. The process would be slightly different as you would need to route the DAW audio internally, using a virtual audio cable application. Common options include VB-Audio Virtual Cable (Windows), Soundflower and BlackHole (Mac). If you have a Scarlett 4th Gen audio interface this can also be achieved using the dedicated 'Loopback' feature.
Im trying to record my internal audio and my mic at the same time, but it is throwing all the internal audio and mic into a single channel. Please help! Idk why it isn't separating my tracks.

have a question...plz guide... there is too much noise while live broadcasting..also using focusrite Scarlett solo
There are a couple possible causes for that. Make sure that there is nothing that could be causing interference near your interface such as a router or a phone. Then you should make sure that your cables are functional, and balanced where they can be. If you are still having trouble, then you should reach out to the support team at this link and explain the issue.

*just quietly skims over the desktop audio part*... *the most important part*
I know, I'm trying to screen record my DAW, which has its audio output going through the focusrite, I also have all my audio go through it to use my monitors. I can't figure out how to get OBS to register this audio.
@@MicahLowther get GroundControl Room. It’s amazing.
Thank U.
I’ve tried actually everything. I have a iostation24c absolutely everything in every single video I do is correct and it won’t work. I have the mic on my mic and it won’t work. My mic works it’s the apps fault. I have no idea what to do. I have a bluebird xlr condenser mic. Everything’s plugged in. Every other app works perfectly but I can’t hear my mic on any streaming thing like obs or streamlabs.
Do you know anything else to try??
