If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out in the comments and I will answer what I can for you 😀
Do you have the video for the 3rd gen focusrite? I don't know what you're talking about.
Hi Chris, i liked your video very much, in my OBS it doesn´t appear the "Open Plug-in interface" so i don´t know what to do, with the other plugins that appears i also appears the "Open Plug-in interface". Thanks a lot in advance
@@giulianeitor very strange! You can take a look at this forum and see if It helps at all: github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/issues/7617
@@CMillerMusicthank you very much Chris, you are great, i tried a lot of things until i get with the issue. I think it was a problem with installing too much times the reaper program in different folders. Then it appear but it didn’t work until i selected a different audio driver, one that i wasn’t using. Thank you again and I’m definitely giving you the sub 💪🏻💪🏻
Hello ! Thanks a lot for this, but is there a way to change the vst folder in OBS? All my vsts are on my HDD and the folder used by OBS is on my SSD :/ dont want to reinstall everything from one place to another so if by any chance you knew how to do it that’d be cool ! Thanks for this video again :)
I must be some type of special, I chose audio output this entire time... thank you for the wonderful tutorial and your extreme patience for something that is clearly undiagnosed.
So you are all good now? My pleasure 😁
The double gain trick is VERY helpful my gosh
You're a f****** legend mate... I swear I watched a dozen videos, over 4 hours last night trying to make it work, and this worked instantly. Thank you for sharing.
Glad I could help!!!
This is the best video on this subject. Like everyone else commenting, I watched dozens of these videos and, while their intentions were good, most of them missed extremely important steps in the process. This was well thought out and thorough and actually works. Thank you.
Appreciate the feedback Jimmy!
hope this comment is true, coming from the dozens of other videos right now
@@jackwoods8021 let me know if you run onto any troubles!
@@jackwoods8021 it will depend on a few things. What isn't specifically working?
THANK YOU! I was having a hell of a time figuring this crap out after OBS updated and broke the setup I had before. Your video got me back up and running.
The gain tip at the end was perfect, too.
So happy it helped you!!
Dude.. I struggled with his shit for hours. I come across this video. Simple fix.. you are a fuckin legend 🤘
good lord... took forever to find a video that actually works. Definitely liking and subscribing. Thanks for the video!
This is by far the best tutorial on this subject. I have been 18 months now trying to get it to work. One tip I found through trial an error was that when I played back my youtube live streams (electric acoustic guitar and vocal, 2 tracks) there was massive interference/crackle making it unusable. I found that deleting midi tracks on Ableton solved this. While the vocal recording is not totally dry the audio effects are not fully functioning on the live stream compared to recording a song using the same effects/plugins.
Thankyou!
Just to clarify, are you still having issues? Make sure your bitrate on obs and your daw are the same
@@CMillerMusic Having the same issue, but I need my midi tracks in Ableton. When I record, the audio is all chopped up. Thank you for this help!
bitrate on both are 48k
@@DomOlivo what is your buffer rate set as in Ableton?
@@CMillerMusic 256 buffer size and 48k sample rate, thank you !
This is the only tutorial that worked for me, thank you so much man!
Bro I've been trying everything for weeks.. thank you so so much for this easy and simple tutorial!!
Very welcome! Now go create!!!!
Amazing, straight to the point and it worked perfectly. All the waffle of all the other 20 minute videos of other content creators are just plain rubbish and didn't work. Thanks! Subscribed
The gain trick solved all my problems. Thanks a ton!
Hey Thank you so much for doing this. The part with adding the gain twice and going to -30db is key. I couldnt get rid of the direct input while playing guitar but that did it. Hero status sir
You're very welcome!
YO! I got a new pc and had to set all this up again and forgot the steps. This is perfect dude and hope you're well. Thanks :)
Hahaha glad I could help mate!
It really Worked for me .... really easy to follow the steps . THANK YOU!!!!!
BRO I STG IVE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT FOR YEARS THANK YOU
Glad I could help 😁
Been searching for something like for a while. There are many videos on YT doing the same exact thing only without the double gain before the VST to silence the DI input. Finally I can get rid of the DI sound, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
My pleasure!
Stumbled on your vid, and I do have the 3rd gen interface. Would love the video on that.
Great playing and singing man. Really good. Thanks for the video bud. Keep it up *Subscribed*
Did you ever find what you needed for 3rd gen?
Thank you! worked :) only took me like 3 years to figure it out lmao
You can also put the capture device to something not being used instead of default and then you don't have to put the 2 gain reduction plugins on there.
You can, but if something goes wrong it makes troubleshooting very difficult for people not knowing what to do. Eg. People watching this video
Fair enough. It was definitely clever to use the gain like that. @@CMillerMusic
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! I've been trying to figure this out for the longest!
J’ai cherché pendant plusieurs heures et tutos et c’est t’as solution qui a marché merci beaucoup 🙏
The simplest and the best..thanks really
tysm for a quick and easy to understand video!
Glad I could help!
You're a legend! Great! Simple and effective!
DUDE YOU JUST SAVED MY DAY
thank you sir, looking foward for that 3rd gen video :D
thanks for the tutorial fam, setting this up rn 🙏🔥
This has worked for me 99 percent of the way. I can’t get my dry interface audio to go away even with the gain doubled with -30db. They are in the right order as well
Double check that you are using the right "input". I'd you only have sry signal, you are not selecting the right input
Noice! I do the same thing, but have a 3rd Gen Focusrite! 👀 looking forward to the follow up vid! I’m😅
Works with Cakewalk, thanks
Thanks a lot mate, this was incredibly helpful, very clean solution!
Thanks bro!!!
Glad I could help!
big love u mate ! it works !
kiss from Russland
Thanks so much du7de, it worked perfectly.
Got a new subscriber out of me!
I did this with Synchronous Audio Router routing Cakewalk Mic to OBS.
Thank you so much. You made my day.🤘❤🔥
You are the man! Thank you
Thank you so much for this video!
great content very helpful
Worked perfectly. Thank you so much
Thank you👊
Isn't audio input capture in OBS for microphones? I've trying doing what you have done in video and my options are 1 Default 2 Microphone Apollo Twin Thunderbolt. When I choose default, it just uses the microphone of my Webcam. So not quite sure what I've missed here! Thanks for the video
Odd? Make sure in your windows audio settings that you have your interface as your default audio option.
mate you life saver wtf thanks
Thanks for sharing!
WHERE IS THE VIDEO FOR 3RD GENERATION FOCUSRITE WITH LOOPBACK?????
It's on my to do list. I promise it's coming!!! 😅
@@CMillerMusicI need this video 😊
Me too
@@CMillerMusicSIR PLEASE I NEED ITT
Mee too
thank you crazy tips .
Thank you so much, this video was super helpful!
I need help. Downloaded Reastream, installed. it shows up in my plugin list on Cakewalk. Applied to Master Faded. I see my audio signal working. Go to OBS, add a audio capture to sources. go through steps off adding RStream. there is nothin in my drop down menu, and that little box below it that says "close plugin in interface" is not there. i tried copying the .dll to different folders, VST, Cakewalk VST, OBS plugins, i tried so many places i forget where all i tried. still would not show up in that menu. Am i doing something wrong or is something not working? My Reastream does not say "standalone" on it but it was the one at the top of the list. Any help would be appreciated. i need to get OBS working so i can record some tutorial videos next week. i do not need to actually live stream yet. i have bee able to add my phones and tablet as "cameras" and i am getting audio signal from my desktop when i play youtube as a experiment.
@brianmenear4458 make sure the vst is installed in c:/programfiles/vstplugins
Ensure you are installing the same bit as obs (32/64).
MEEEEEERCIIIIIIIII
Awesome many many thanks!
Wow thank you sir (subscribed!!) this actually worked on OBS 29 tested today. I had issues with running virtual cables and REAStream with all the other tutorials until this one.
Thanks again.
Quick question: How do I adjust latency within OBS to Twitch utilizing the master track settings? Is there a setting?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Make sure that you don't have "stream delay" enabled in OBS. Go to File> Settings> Advanced and scroll down a little to "Stream Delay". Other than that, you can't change the delay between OBS and Twitch. Hope that helps
I have a simple question, but first I'd like to say thank you so much for this video it really helped me on this issue! So when you have it all setup do you hear everything on your headphones with effects etc? If so where do you enable it, in the DAW or the OBS? Does it have a delay? Thank you so much mate, greetings from Brazil!
Listen through Ableton. Turn off monitoring in obs you will have too much delay and it will be impossible to play along
@@CMillerMusic That's what I figured, thank you for clarifying
I just got the focusrite 18i8 and obs isn't getting any signal from my daw or mic inputs! I'm losing my mind every vid I see and follow the steps doesn't work for me. Help! 😢
Check the focusrite control centre and ensure you have that setup correctly first
Cheers Chris. Now the audio is coming through but for some reason when I'm testing sounds or going through samples on my menus on the left, that audio isn't coming through obs, any ideas? Cheers
@ajmorenomusic I may be wrong, but I think that goes through the monitor route not the master.
Cheers need to try this since the latest update of obs doesn't support win-asio
I love you
I did everything step by step but my audio still goes into obs as mono yet it comes out of ableton as stereo. Helpppp
Go to the advanced audio settings and unpick the "mono" setting. Hope that helps :)
You saved my day!
Glad I could help!!
nice one!
Great explanations Chris, so how do I send my audio to obs is it with usb I am a little confused between the daw and obs Tnx!
The plugin is the "sending" tool.
The chain becomes
Sending: DAW > Reastream in DAW >
Receiving: Reastream in OBS.
I am getting a double-up delay kinda issue with my input on the focusrite... i hear 2 individual instances of my voice on my ableton live audio track not sure what im doing wrong here
Check to make sure you are not monitoring your audio from obs.
Go to advanced audio properties, and make sure it doesn't say monitor and output.
ive logically deduced that this is a Focusrite specific ASIO driver issue, no matter what I do, including manually and physically disabling interface monitoring, the input is always doubled on Monitor track IN or AUTO with record enable within ableton. lowest physically possible latency configuration, appropriate latency offset in pref>audio, channels 1 24bit 48k everything configured to 48k interface+daw, I can get audio into OBS successfully with no flange effect but unfortunately the input monitoring within ableton seems to always flange/double up regardless of input channels selected etc. bit strange. i'll be picking up a different interface i believe to see if that has anything to do with it
I say focusrite specific asio driver issue because when i use mme/dx there is no input doubling on monitor IN/AUTO at all, but clearly the latency there is un-usable so functionally it's mandatory for me to use an ASIO driver to achieve low monitoring latency in general. i guess we will see
@@shsLULtv what focusrite do you have? If it's something like a 4i4 or above, you need to check the focusrite control and ensure you have set this up correctly
Great❤
Gtreat Bro💯
Thank you very much for this tutorial, help me a lot appreciate it man 🤘🤘
Very welcome!
@@CMillerMusic i had some issue with audio stuttering but I'm figuring out with updating and reinstall the driver, and the restream software and done perfect 🤘😆
I can't find the plug in in Pro Tools, could you help me figure out why? I've checked all the plug ins in the program, it just isn't picking it up. Is it not because Pro tools uses a different software to VST?
I'm not sure where the plugin folder is for Protools as I don't use that DAW. SORRY
Thank you
Idk why but I installed the plug-ins and ableton just can’t seem to find them they are not in the plug-ins section at all
You will have a default location for plugins. You can also set custom paths.
Just find where the plugin installed and copy and paste the .dll file into the Ableton plugins folder
Thank you for this!
i dont have any plugins showing up. I downloaded everything correctly and I'm using Ableton 9 Lite
Check that you are installing the plugins in the correct place. In Ableton you can choose where ableton will look for the plugins also, using custom path.
Hello, I have a focusrite scarlett 2i2 2nd gen interface. Do you know if this is the best method to capture ableton live and transmit using obs studio, or do you know another better alternative for my setup? Greetings from Argentina.
This is the best method 👍
@@CMillerMusic Thanks! Following this tutorial I now have the routing working correctly. Respect Man! 🙌
Great tutorial buddy! Now let me make a little challenging for you. What if i'm using a pc only for DAW mixing and a different one for broadcasting? How can i send that DAW output to another PC? Thanks a lot!
You can achieve this with reastream also! As long as both PC's are connected to the same network, instead of selecting local, you select "send audio/midi:ip" and select *broadcast. On the second pc, add your reastream and select receive. Important to note the names as identifier must be EXACTLY the same. Let me know how you go 😁
I need to figure out how to do this with Sonar and 12 tracks for my drums. Been trying to figure out how to do this for years!!!!
If sonar uses vat plugins, I d9nt see why this method wouldn't work
@@CMillerMusic It did thanks I figured it out. Did you ever do a video for the focusrite? I just added one with loopback since my new rig does not have firewire for my achient Alesis-io26.
I got everything up until 3:20, HOW DO YOU ADD A PLUGIN TO OBS, your video shows you have a lot of plugins but with mine it doesn't pop up a single plugin
Ensure that you have installed the reastream plugin into the correct directory for obs. Obs uses specifics places
Awesome tutorial. I would add that the sample rate in the DAW and in OBS have to be the same or else OBS won't receive anything
Thankyou and great point!
how do you change it in obs?
my audio only streams in mono, how do i get to work in stereo? thanks
Check that mono isn't ticked in obs advanced audio settings
I tried to drag and drop it onto my master channel in Studio One 6, but it won't let me. any ideas?
Can you add effects to channels (I'm unfamiliar with studio one). You would just add it the same way as you add other effects
@@CMillerMusic yeah, I tried it, but it won't allow it. I'll figure something out. Thanks for the reply!
Thank you G!!!!
Hi Chris , i just started using rea-stream , but when I look back at the recorded video it seems to be very choppy and unaudible I've tired different audio interfaces and different buffer / sample rates but cant get my daw audio clean while recoding on obs
Hello Chris - I'm having this issue too. Everything is working, but the recorded audio is all chopped up. thank you!!
Unfortunately without looking at your sample rates and your setup in general I can help diagnose the issue
thank you
I don't get sound when i add the two -30 db gains . . .
ok I got the sound by selecting in in monitorization or by arming the track with the record button
I looks like It is getting the default sound first then the reapluggin
Thanks for the video, Im using this for streaming drum sessions but I have a problem. Im able to capture the audio from DAW into OBS and send it to the stream, but when I play the drums on top of a song on UA-cam, The audio comming from my DAW has an offset. Even though Im playing it on time. How can I fix this?
Ypu can set a delay on whichever is play9ng first. Most likely this would be you youtube video
@@CMillerMusic Thank you so much for taking the time for the reply and help!
Hey there friend, I really need some help with something.
I’m wanting to add preset vocals fx onto my Obs Studio, such as fx that they have on bandlab recording studio already ready to use. I Just don’t know where to find all of the presets and how I’m supposed to install/add the presets onto Obs studio. Please help
Is the preset a VST when you install it?
Thank you so much !
Hello
when I do this I cant find the rearstream plugin, I only find fl vst (im using FL) I tried so many different things but OBS never finds rearstream in the vst list
Sounds like Reastream isnt installed in the OBS default VST path C:/Program Files/VSTPlugins/. Make sure you have the VST in there and if you don't, you can just copy and paste the ReaStream plugin from your installed path, to the above path. Hope this helps!
@@CMillerMusic it worked! Thank you so much!!
@@BassamMusic You're very welcome and enjoy!
last time i tried this, there was a significant delay caused by restream plugin, any thoughts on this?
Reastream will not cause a significant delay. It's a low latency plugin.
That being said, what makes you say significant delay? Are you hearing to audio's on your ears? If so, you should always turn monitoring off in OBS and only monitor from your daw
One question (I’ve been meaning to ask this for months):
I end up with my audio input capture, which I’ve renamed to my DAW (Sonar). I also end up with a track called “mic.” When I play music from the DAW, BOTH meters are lighting up. Is that what’s supposed to happen or am I suppose to mute one? This is the only part I don’t understand. Oh, and one more thing: I imagine the volume faders in the DAW should affect what’s coming into OBS, correct? So, if you are playing a project from your DAW and turn up the fader on the snare, for instance, you should hear that in OBS, correct?
Volume faders adjusted in your DAW will change the sound going to the master, so if you have the Reastream on the master, then yes.
I'm not sure why both mic and DAW are receiving audio, I would need to see a few screenshots to get an understanding.
@@CMillerMusic Which one should be? Just DAW?
Everyone is skipping the one part I need help with the most. How in the heck do you move it into Ableton after downloading it?? It isn't showing up anywhere but says it is installed, I've been sitting here scouring my folders, please help
Abletpn has default folders that it looks in. You can also set custom folders for it to search for plugins.
My advice is to find the reastream.dll file and where it is installed. Copy and paste it into the file directory that is listed in the Ableton preferences>plugins screen.
@CMillerMusic I don't know why but whenever I typed reastream in the search bar nothing with that name involved came up, I ended up finding the correct folder finally going backwards thru ableton, I understand a bit more now about how the folders work now tho thanks to you, appreciate you're response! ☆ loved the video, I just always get stuck on the folder part of things... 🫠
Very welcome! Glad I could help in some way 😁
Quick question where can I find my Master Channel? im new to Studio one so sorry.
I'm not familiar with studio one, im sure there are tutorials for beginners on UA-cam 😀
Great! Thanks !
Does this not work for pro tools? I cannot find my plugins that I downloaded
How do I fix audio and camera delay ? I successfully got ASIO4ALL sound device to stream to OBS using the plugin provided but my problem is that the video is not lining up with audio any longer , I perform into the microphone in fl studio but my camera video in the OBS software delays behind the DAW audio ??? Any fix ??
Ypu can set a delay in Advanced audio settings for the audio. Just find the delay amount by trial and error.
Record yourself and test away
@@CMillerMusic I tried it does nothing the audio is jumping in front of the video , I delay it on advance audio properties does nothing , the only fix was delaying the audio in flstduo 522ms it lined the video and audio up but now it delays in headphone
@dirtysodaentertainment9754
Delay the audio input that reastream is on, this should absolutely align it
Thank youuuuuuuu!
Strange. You'd think a DAW would come with a virtual audio device to capture output from each bus. Why don't they?
From what I understand, it's actually harder to do than we think. It has something to do with Windows audio sub system 🤷
where's the tutorial on the loopback feature of focusrite interfaces?
Great video homie. I seem to have a delay on OBS side from Able. any suggestions on how to fix?
Ensure that you are not monitoring within OBS and only monitoring from Ableton.
@@CMillerMusic okay I just checked that, and it seems like it’s mirroring properly. Seems to have the delay now when I record desktop audio and ableton at the same time on OBS🤔🤔
@djchesnut5791 how big of a delay are we talking? If it's small, use the delay settings in the advanced audio settings. If it's large, you may have a CPU issue
I have reaper but will it work with cakewalk
I tried following you and it was good up until please select a plug in which nothing is appearing there. Have I done something wrong?
Can I have a little more info?
Do you mean select a plugin with OBS or your DAW?
@CMillerMusic I figured it out I needed to add VST2 into obs folder then copy the reaper folder into that and jt appeared. Your video was good in the end I had to move folders that's all
@TheZeeshNomat perfect! It just means that the install path was not correct. For future reference, if you install a vst2 into an incorrect file, you can just copy the .dll into the correct filepath. Another way is to create a shortcut from your preferred file path, into the default for obs. Obs will then see them all
@@CMillerMusic oh sweet will keep that in mind for next time thanks again!
