Missed the most crucial thing. Reastream will not show up in the filter list in OBS if you don't have the .dll in the correct folder. SONAR/Cakewalk user here since -99. It has to be in one of the following:
C:/Program Files/Steinberg/VstPlugins/
C:/Program Files/Common Files/Steinberg/Shared Components/
C:/Program Files/Common Files/VST2
C:/Program Files/Common Files/VSTPlugins/
C:/Program Files/VSTPlugins/
Thank you, you helped me sort this out!
I did that and still won’t work like I can get restream in both daw and obs but still no volume from daw to obs
was looking for this comment in 20 diff vids thank you!!
Didn't work with Windows 10, UAD TWIN USB - until I created a Audio Output Capture with the device set to Universal Audio Twin USB then applied the VST 2 filter - works perfectly now.
this was my fix aswell in 2024. 4 hours of fiddling and this is finally what got it working for me thank you so much hahaha
@@waxxoneHow did you do tha manipulation?
@@tsbgamer8024 use audio output device source instead of audio input :)
@@waxxone thanks
Excellent solution Chris! I'll be sharing this with all my music UA-camr friends :)
Awesome, Mike! Glad you liked it :)
When you played the music from Cubase it looked like the meter on your mic was also engaged. Does it separate the channels you’re recording? Would you recommend voice meter?
I was trying to solve why the signal of the VST wasn't getting into OBS, and you were the only one saying select an audio source that you're not using" NOT default! but one that you're not using including your soundcard
Thank you SO MUCH! This is ten times easier than that silly voicemeeter route that I kept running into. I actually already had the reaplugs installed for the eq and compression since OBS filters aren't up to par imo.
Wow this was such a game changer. I have been pulling my hair out trying to achieve this and this was so easy!
Great stuff Chris. I was struggling to get this all set up and your video nailed it. 🕺🏻🏴☠️
Thank you for such a clear and straight-forward tutorial. Much appreciated.
SO Awesome. Wish and the video appears. Here's a fun bonus idea for reastream.
Use it to send a modular VST on one computer, as audio to your other PC, so you can play and harness the full CPU power of Computer #1 to run a giant virtual modular patch, then record that to your DAW. Working In the box, becomes "in the boxes".
Interesting idea! Very cool! Thanks for sharing!
Epic idea! :O
Man. I really like your UA-cam channel. Every time I have an issue and I am looking for a solution it happens to be on your videos. Thank you for the valuable material. Keep it up.
I'm trying to play through Cubase for online bass lessons via Skype and this looks like the solution that could work for me. Thanks Chris 🙂
Thanks for this! I'm on Studio One and I wasn't able to get it to work until I saw this. I have one problem though my webcam mic is being recorded through the same channel as the audio from Studio One. How can I have webcam audio separate from DAW audio?
FINALLY solved my complex audio routing problem. Took me all day. Thanks.
Thanks for all your info, great video but it didn't solve it for me, yet...So, i'm using Studio One and followed your steps, but Restream doesn't get audio input inside OBS. Am i missing something?
Found out about this plugin the other day. Installed it, put it on the Master channel and shortly after it crashed my whole session. Will give it another try soon - fingers crossed it doesn't crash again.
Thanks Justin Frankel for making this plugin free for everyone. You're a legend ;)
I wish I can triple like this video, this saved so many headaches from the other methods people were suggesting.
Glad it helped! :-)
Just Installed Today Perfectly working with Studio one 5.3 ...Thanks !
Man did you solve an hassleful thing right here... Now I don't need that virtual audio cable thing which didn't work too good.
Thank you VERY much for this!!
that is brilliant! many thanks, spemt 2 days trying to figure this out with no luck, this works perfect
Hi Chris, Thank you very much for this video. I had a bit of trouble initially, as I am using a USB microphone (Blue Yeti) and an Audient id14 II and headphones. I had no inputs/outputs I wasn't using, so tried a vast array of different settings, including loopback, which didn't work, then lastly I downloaded, installed and disabled all of VoiceMeeter except the Aux Output, and used that as per your video, then it worked. I will be able to stream CakeWalk by Bandlab for Zoom singing lessons and for UA-cam streaming in a month or so. Bit of a challenge, but got there in the end, so thank you. :)
Thank you very much for this video - I use Cubase and wanted to screen record it through OBS for my channel. Had no idea about the reastream plug-in to link the audio! Very helpful.
I found out about this plugin a couple years ago and it works perfectly. Great video🤛🏽
I set up Cubase 10.5 UR44 and OBS using Reastream just as you suggested. Works flawlessly....
EXCEPT
when recording to OBS the recorded sound is a little muffled. I spent a couple hours tweaking Cubase and OBS but could not get rid of the muffled sound.
did you manage to solve the muffled sound problem?
@@Firtzyk As a matter of fact I finally solved the problem 2 days ago after 4 or 5 months of messing with it. The problem was the audio signal was inadvertently running through my keyboard which is a Yamaha MX49. When I finally turned off the reverb on the keyboard everything worked just fine. What's odd is that I always made sure that the MX49 was set to act only as a keyboard controller.
The keyboard was set to act only as a controller and not access the synth sounds that are included on the keyboard.
Amazing!!
@@willkuul8672 That's interesting, I'll have to check my settings. I have a loopstation connected in my set apart from the interface. Maybe the loopstation is causing the problem. In the settings I have the signal return from the looper effects to the mixer and back to the looper. And the loopstation is connected to the computer via USB. I need to experiment. Thanks for the hint.
Nice one, i got installed the reaplugs a time ago and didn´t notice this litle usefull vst, thanks, and it works really nice, no problems here.
Glad you like it!
HELP please. First of all thanks for your video. I have done all the steps but restream does not appear in obs for some reason. It appears at cubase and I have it at the output chanell. Any ideas?
Holy shit....it actually works, it just fucking works! I have tried so many of these workarounds and finally have a solution. Thanks so much Chris and Reaper!
Your videos are always straight to the point and you have amazing teaching skills. Thank you so much!
Hi Kutay, thank you for the kind words!
I have a slight delay between my voice from cubase with autotune and the movements of my mouth in the webcam recorded through OBS. Have someone a solution?
Thank you so much..! It works great with OBS 29.x and Studio One 6.2🥰🙏
Did you have any issues with your guitar/instrument playing the clean signal through OBS as well as your SO audio? I can't figure our a fix to just capture the SO audio and not my raw signal
Nice video, thanks! Did you find something new for Cubase 14 Pro?
can never get ReaStream to work in Cubase 10. Win10-64 bit. on my win7 machines it worked, but crashed every time I unloaded it. Best solution for me was using the hardware Loopback feature. ReaRoute works great for Reaper. On my win7 machines ReaStream worked fine in Reaper, yet crashed in Cubase, yet on my win10 machines, ReaStream will not work at all. Why do companies have to make this so awkward? Would be great to have the audio from Cubase (my main work DAW for clients) go into OBS. any ideas, or comments, (please don't mention that awful Banana stuff! lol) then let me know folks.
Great but I got a echo on my guitar track in cubase (Line in, monitoring). Any idea how to solve this. Tried lots of things, disabling devices in OBS. Nothing works.
Hi Chris , I have a question. In Cubase 13 pro how do I detach the mix console to move to a different monitor ? I couldn't find the way I did it in 11 pro . Thanks btw I'm a member or your Mixdown Academy it's great !
I've used it for over a year now and the biggest issue i always have is when i put it on, it never receives audio in OBS until i restart my 2 programs and open them in a specific order... still can't remember which one i have to open first.
Can I do this from Cubasis 3 in iPad?
Hi Chris - this worked perfectly, but then on an attempt to record to test the audio there's a large about of audio stuttering and distortion - any advice?
The same happens to me. Stuttering/crackling... Is there a solution?
I discovered this solution last year and it's been my nearest attempt to perfection
I've only had one issue though... I tried to use it to stream my guitar into OBS since I use several plugins and VST for my guitar tone, and even using this VST I get a sliiiiiiight bit of latency I can't seem to solve with the offset settings, on the audio config...
My PC is more than capable of running low latency stuff, is there anything I may be missing?
Wondering if you ever found a solution? The worst thing is that the latency is never the same so it takes forever to calibrate.
@@mylesshapiro5992 unfortunately I gave up. Never could sort it out.
Thank you Mr. Selim! Another clear and highly useful video to improve our studio function and recording experience. 🙌🏻 👍🏻
Happy to help!
Thank you for the the help. My recording from Daw is in hard distortion while desktop sound and mic sound ok. any tips please?
Sir, Thanks for your videos. Here is a problem in my case. Audio mixdown window is not fitted on my computer screen. its very large. How to set it to my screen. Please suggest in comment please. Its urgent. Thank you.
Great video thanks! At first I missed that you said to use an unused input to run the filter on and was trying to run it on my Steinberg interface, but kept getting the direct monitoring sound under the filter sound, which was horrible. all good now and I still have some hair left!
I have the same issue! Did you just install a random device? If so, how? I have no options to choose in OBS other than my audio interface
@Chris Selim - Mixdown Online hello bro from Greece. How did you overcome Cubase from taking control of the Asio driver. When working on Cubase and using reastream to stream on Kick i loose the sound on Chrome or any browser. Any solution ?
I am not getting Restream in the list of VST 2 plugins in OBS. Kindly help.
Thanks for the explanation. I've tried it several times, my OBS doesn't connect to Cuase. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?
Hey man nice video.
I have a big problem on my hand I have tryed anything voicemeter and also this showed in your video any audio source don'ts comes from obs studio I don't know what to do the obs studio records only the desktop audio but when I record inside my DAW (PROTOOLS) nothing comes up.
I think there is a driver issues in windows.
Thnx Chris. One quick question: What if you need go get the desktop audio as well. For example, not only the cubase audio out, what if I need the output of youtube playing in background as well. Is there a mixer available for it? How to do it?
Thank you for the valuable video!
Excuse me, why I can't Restream Plugin in my Cubase 11? :) It doesn't support any VST, how you solved the isue?
i don't see reastream in my OBS vst 2 plugins on windows 10?
Didn't work and crashed Cubase when I removed it. Uninstalled straight away. 🤷♂️
Does anybody have any tips for troubleshooting this with OBS? The plugin isn't able to receive audio no matter which indentifier I type.
does not work, win 10 and cubase 11, no signal detected
At 5:55 you mention to select an unused audio device, but I don't seem to have any other than the inbuilt speakers for my monitors which are disabled and don't seem to work if I enable them. Is there a way to mimic a new audio device to use for that list?
Same problem here man, did you figure out later on how to do it?
@@sidarthhnair Sadly not - gave up in the end, might give it another go someday but wound up moving onto other things in the meantime
exelent video , any tips for the latency when a replay the video that i just recorded?/
Youve earned a new sub because of this video . Thank you my man!!
Thank you very much, dude. Does this work with Cakewalk? Thanks
Hi Chris, thnx for al the video's.
Always OK with them. Now however i have a problem with the OBS part. The Reastream is not showing in the "filter vst2 list. All my other plgs are. The Reastream is working in the Stereo Out of Cubase Pro11. What do i miss, do not or do wrong ?? Thx in advance
Hi Chris. Found it. I had to enable a WDM channel on the RME Hammerfall interface. and use this as source in OBS. The Reastream appears now in the vst list.. CU Lars
My audio hacks in playback when I play the video. only from the sound going through the plug. Not my mic. use 44.1 on both applications. What do you think could be wrong? I asked Greg, but without success.
it doesn't work for me... I selected send on the plugin on ableton's side, and receive on obs side and at first it lighted up and worked, but it didn't appear in the audio mixer so in your tutorial I see you have it as output capture so wanted to redo it, same settings, but it's only lighting up in ableton and not obs
Thank you! I had been trying to figure this out forever man!
This is hard. You said "click on Cubase". But how do I click on Cubase? How do I record? If I go on Cubase I lose OBS and vice versa. Theres a procedure segment missing. I dont know what streamyard is btw. Is having it important?
Can you do this with one computer without the cpu load? When OBS and Ableton (and the computer camera) are running at the same time it is just so heavy on the CPU. Maybe it's the built-in camera on the mac that causes it? Btw: I have 16Gb Ram 15 inch macbook pro 2015, which works fine most of the time, I can use youtube and Ableton at the same time its no prob.
Help, isn´t working I send correctly from my DAW but OBS does not detect audio MIDI receive
This worked for me at one point but now Cubase is still sending the signal but the instance of Reastream on OBS audio input channel is not receiving the signal. And the names are exactly the same. It's just glitching or something. IDK if the problem is coming from OBS or Reastream
Hello Chris
IIt's.usefull for audio interdaces without a loopback function.
With Steinberg Audio interfaces you have a loopback function so you can automatically stream the sounds from Cubase into OBS.
Yes, I also made a video on this.
This exact process did not work for me, but here's what did. Instead of making an audio input capture, make a media capture, add a blank or other audio track, loop it, add a noise gate that turns the audio off, THEN add ReaStream. Worked like magic
Hey man, just wanted you to know that your workaround helped me a lot. Thx mate ✌🏻
@@marcelzidorn705 We're All in This Together my friend :-) I'm glad it helped you out! Hope you have a blessed day!
Chris, I've installed Reastream but it's not in the drop down menu in OBS, any help appreciated mate.
Silly question here: This procedure makes the sound behave exactly the same as recorded in DAW?
Is this possible through Studio One? I use Presonus Studio One 5. Wondering if OBS and Studio One 5 could live stream through UA-cam.
Hi, I try what you say, but it might be that I'm with focusrite pro 24 dsp and liquid 56 in series. No sound in OBS.... the audio is recorded, but not from cubase.
It seems that OBS V28 has broken this vst. Do you have a work around to this?
My microphone is connected to the same output as my DAW. When I record, my microphone is recorded only on the left side and it's at a much lower volume than the music. Is it possible to record them separately? I am just using an interface where both my DAW (output) and my mic are going to.
amazing discovery, but one question, is there a audible latency between the two programs (cubase to OBS) like say you were maybe using it for a live session, great video sir i subbed!
in vst2 section i don't see reastream plugin, how can i go next?
I'm trying to record my Reason 10 DAW & no matter how I configure the settings, I cannot get audio in my recordings....I am using a Presonus AudioBox iOne. Oddly enough...if I open up a stand-alone version of a VST, I have audio in my video. I love the OBS Studio...but it's a nightmare to understand.
You are a badass !! And a life saver, much power to you !!
Thanks!
When i play the video, sound is very bassy and ruins the audio quality of the video, how to fix that to get a clearer audio quality?
Hey Chris I have a question this plugin runs really weird.. there is no way to control the volume .. it receives all levels at max volume and clips even though I have all my faders turned down.. know of any work around by chance?
This works well but sometimes it disconnects from itself and then obs gets no audio. I've tried putting it on an unused input device, asio input and output devices in obs and It still disconnects. Any help?
Hi Chris! I found it very unstable on the initial cubase 11 release if it was used on control room inserts. It kept crashing cubase on startup and sometimes caused hangs on exit. Seemed to get resolved after the first update though :) is everyone else finding it stable now?
I wondered would you do a video on what effects if any you have on your mic running in OBS / Streamlab. Lovely clear sound that you have. Thanks :)
Thanks. I'm planning on making a video on how I record my UA-cam videos :)
I have no unused audio devices, and as such it seems i cant get audio from cubase as OBS is still picking up the stereo audio from my mic and guitar DI. Is there a way around this?!?!?!
Hi Chris. Are you still using this setup for your screen recorder? I’m considering it. Thank you
Not anymore, I use Filmora for my screen recording, but might switch on using Quick TIme since I"m on Mac now
@@mixdownonline are you using the free version? I am struggling to get the sound from Cubase. Is there any essential setup to use with Asio drivers? Thank you
renaming the restream was a bad idea :D Thank you!
It doesn't work on my system with Bitwig Studio 5 and Antelope Zen Q.... I should may be install Voicemeeter even if I don't need to use it.
Is there anything like this for mac users?
OBS crushes when I pick reastream. I work in reaper and had to transfer reastream dll to steinberg/Vst in order to get it to appear in OBS filters. Don't know what to do since their filters guide doesn't cover the issue. pls Help mi kind people
The restream plugin isn't listed on OBS, has anyone else had this problem?
After doing everything as the video says, I'm getting a clicking sound in my recordings whenever the input from Cubase comes in. Does anybody know anything about it?
Hmm, my Reastream plugin in OBS isn't picking up any signal.
-I have reastream on the master bus of my DAW (studio one)
-I have it set to local broadcast and default
-I have a "filter" of reastream in OBS on the input audio, set to receive audio, on default.
-I have an unused input selected (7/8 on my interface)
But the meter on the reastream receiver inn OBS isn't moving. Why might this be? Firewall issue maybe?? I don't get it
I'm having the same exact issue
same here, studio one
Thanks Chris, I want to perform singing and playing EWI triggering VSTi's. Using this method I can record my Voice, track, and VSTi's, my voice comes out both sides of the stereo field. I want to set up a mic for narration too (not to use at the same time I am performing) but I am only getting Ross's mic on one side. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Go in obs and make that input mono
I recently switched to Win11 and now the ReaStream plugin in OBS no longer receives any audio from my daw. It worked perfectly fine on Win10. Has anyone had the same problem and was able to solve it?
Same here, im not sure how to fix it
Thats bizarre, i did the same on studio one. and i see the signal goes out from S1 etc....but on Obs i dont receive any signal
When using a midi keyboard controller(aka no audio interface is being used) wouldn't it be impossible to be able to hear the DAW audio at the same time as any other audio source? (Aka discord, games, youtube, etc)
This solution only seems to solve half of the problem when it comes to using midi keyboard controllers. Am I wrong? Been trying to figure out the second part of the issue for so long now :/
Dose this work with zoom or teams I have be trying to get voicesmeeter to work no luck and I'm doing a zoom call this week so I need to get it to work any help please
Just what I needed, thanks Chef 🙏
Since Beatport doesn’t let u record ur mixes by using there streams on rekordbox, does this work on obs? (Let me record my stuff there instead of rekordbox) ps using dk flx4
If reastream-standalone isn't showing up in filters for you, redownload the plug-ins as x64. Then it should pop up in filters and work just fine🤝🏽
I have a ur824...with loopback function.and i have sound in obs.why would this thing be better?
In my case, it's better since this way I can record my voice and Cubase Audio on 2 tracks in OBS or else I would have to record both on the same track in OBS if I was to use Loopback from my interface for both signals. Loopback options might be different from one interface to another I have to say!
When I stream the audio to zoom it becomes mono. Do you have any solution for that?
No, Zoom SUCKS for pro audio :(
@@mixdownonline which one do you suggest?
It doesn't work for me, the sound is not coming into the OBS reastrem :( Help!
