I plug my speakers into my booth outputs, that way if I'm on late at night I can turn my speakers down without messing with the streaming audio. Rock out without waking everyone up or pissing off neighbors.
I use 1/4" to AUX for my adapter (that's what my booth uses ). I can connect it to my booth output and then I have separate audio for the stream and what comes out of the master and it makes it drastically easier. If you have a booth output go that route and get whatever cable is needed for that. Of course make sure that cable is long enough to reach your phone so it's not staring up your nose. I also got a few different lenses - wide view, and fish eye. They can attach via a clip that goes over your camera. This will help everyone to see more of what you're doing. If you're using an iPhone the video automatically zooms in closer than the picture setting. Using either the wide view or fish eye lens your phone/camera placement isn't so limiting since the field of view is greater.
Thanks for the support & tutorial.. my plan is to use the irig2 after 10:30pm 12am at night so don’t annoy my neighbours as live in set of flats, My level is usually fine before 10:30pm .. and I usually have my external speakers set up and it makes a huge difference on the mic..especially singing, & break dancing .can’t went mixing lol 😂 it’s about having fun 🤩 music is key & good lighting, I definitely need that cable for Irig 2 work, I usually have a shot gun mic to pic up the audio which pretty good 😌 at picking up sound and I use I tested the irig2 with mic and I know it works..thanks
This is the best method and cheapest way of connecting the mixer to cell phone. I tried it on Allen & Heath connecting to HTC M10 & Huwaii p30. Works great.
This is the first video I watch from you and I really enjoy watching it. I like that you are yourself when mixing. You don´t care what others say about your dancing and that makes you very sympathetic! The first thing I´ll try out is to plug in the audio directly into my phone. Thank you very much for these great tips. Keep doing videos and livestreams. I subscribed 👍
Use your booth monitor for your audio output! That way you can have your speakers with independent volume control. I have the XDJ-RR which has no booth, and i didn't realize it would be so annoying.
I use the Booth output for the live stream and the master output for the speakers. That way, you have total control over the output sound. You can tweak the master output without affecting the booth output, the level will always stay the same. It's best to leave the output level on the booth at 10 O'clock, for a good clear loud sound.
Thank you for the review and tutorial. I believe, and someone can correct me if I'm wrong, you could run you master cables to an external mixer to control your main sound and control the sound into your phone independently.
Ok...just got off the phone with tech support at RØDE and they confirmed that line level outputs DO need to be attenuated (reduced to MiC level) before sending it to your smart phone. They did say that if you crank the volume down on your mixer output that it may still work (possibly with still some noise/distortion). However, they did confirm that the best thing to do is to reduce that line level to a MiC level before sending it to the phone for the "cleanest" sound (This can be done with DI boxes or a device that has an attenuator inside it before the signal goes into the SC-4 adapter. Good luck to everyone with your live streams and then you, Ben for the tutorial!
@@eriklaguiraoficial I cannot get the SC4 adapter to work at all. Tested on both iPhone 11 and iPhone 5S. Using RCA to headphone jack to SC4 to iphone. Getting zero input. I've seen lots of people with same issue, but no one seems to be mentioning that on this video. I'm just "lucky" I guess. Super Frustrating.
Before i watched this video i had done most of that but i have to be honest bro, the humble way you speak makes people wanna follow you. Keep it up that way and may God bless you. I have just one question: my mic sound doesn't come to the videos. Any tips???
Hi DJ Pensador, if you have a controller/mixer combo (such as what I do; Denon MC7000), I had a similar problem in the early days? The mic sound still comes out of you speakers along with the music but not through a another device such as a recording PC or mobile phone, just the music. The workaround is that one needs to 'post' the mic signal which means press the mic live button on your controller/mixer so it shines, then press the shift button and simultaneously press the mic live button again and it will briefly blink ..and that's it! When you turn your controller/mixer off it will go back to default so it means any time you want to have the mic live on another device you just have to repeat the process. Regards. Jest.
Hey bro really sorry I've just seen this lovely comment, apologies! I'm just about to drop another video about this tomorrow.. Hope you get it sorted bro
Amen to that DJ Pensador. Being humble is what its about. I love people who share info and not criticize. Blessings to the both of you and all who are doing their DJ thing. Respect from DJ PanaSU in Northern California
For those that don’t have an additional device or can’t really tell what the audio sounds like. Use the voice memo app to test your sound level going into the phone. Press record, while turning the sound up Monitoring level on the phone/device. I hope that was helpful to anyone.
Yes that does work also thanks. The technic I shared is for those that need to know what a too low signal looks like in contrast to a too high signal. (Mainly for beginners in DJn or Streaming). Thanks @DJ Angel that would make a great tutorial.
KISSES TO YA FOR THIS VIDEO!!! 2021 WE PUMPED!!! Btw how do we record the live stream. look forward to ya reply. is there a way to live stream straight to youtube FB & Ig at the same time? which platform do you live stream on?
Many mixers have a "record out" that is typically unaffected by the master volume level. That way you can tweak your monitor levels to your liking without affecting the stream level. *disclaimer* test this with your mixer to be sure your mixer a) has a record out b) the record out level is unaffected by master volume knob. If a or b are false, you can use master out for recording and booth for monitors or vice versa.
The best tutorial by far on how to stream while DJing. It’s easy to follow conveys the message clearly. I am hoping that you should come up with a tutorial on OBS as well that will be awesome. Great job. Cheers 👍
Using the iRig Stream for audio. Takes the guess work out of trying to get the best audio quality and volume for streams. I spend a fraction of the time going live because my audio is simple.
Thanks for all that info, Ben! I looked at your FB page and it sounds great! Totally diggin your disco style. You've got Glitterbox written all over ya, ha
I use the irig 2,you can actually check your audio before going live by plugging your headphones into the irig’s built in headphone jack there you can adjust the level of your audio & he’s right you don’t need bullshit obs to get great quality streaming,the audience doesn’t care,keep it simple & interact
I have all the cables but my iphone 11 , no matter what records using the built in microphone. It doesn’t record through the cable. Is there a certain setting I need to change on my phone ? Doesn’t seem to work
Hello how are you first the video was great but I want to ask you the green USB cable connected to your mixer who makes that? Thank you for any information.
And how do we get line out for speakers for ddj 400 controller ? Since it has only one rca output . What do we use for that controller to go fb and Instagram live ??
Hey Ben, loved your video. Is exactly what I needed. My question, how do you manage or how do you have your iPad linked? In better words how do you interact with viewers with your iPad, while your iphone is the one live to your account. Thank you in advance.
Another cool tip. If you have a Rode SC4 or iRig 1 or iRIg2 etc, you can actually use any voice recorder app (Even Pioneer DJM-REC app) to record your set - it will take this as an input. Yes Mono, but good to know if you want to record on a mixer with just REC out (if you don have access to an expensive USB out mixer such as the 9000nxs2 etc)
learned a lot. thanks for the video. what if you also use monitors while streaming live? 2 signals will go to your iPhone (from the monitors and from the mixer through the cable)?
Ben this is so informative, I'm planning to do my first set soon , it is killer deep house but nervous so nervous to get it right as its taken 1000's of tunes in and out to get The Deepest Mix, audio I believe is most important tip , how does this work with a Samsung S20 Note , loved listening to this video give me the vibe to go unleash the kraken 😎
Well done mate good job and great tutorial. I have literally watch dozens on these tutorials and have had the same issues but I loved the way you have kept it real and straight to the point and most of all just being yourself and owning your blunders and sharing the same problems myself and your viewers are facing. I myself have been trying to setup a non convention audio setup and planed to do a lot of Live Facebook streams from the start of ISOLATION but keep running into brick walls with the audio setup🤬 and bought heaps more audio gear(mixers, cables, audio interfaces) and then once I finally worked out how to sync two computers 🖥 1 for Ableton Live 💻 1 for Traktor Pro 3,iPad Pro, 3 midi controllers, Sampler, drum machine, sequencer, synth, microphone, 2 audio interfaces, Audio mixer then routing inter App audio on iOS devices thru AUM with AUv3 EQ plug-ins and FX with Ableton Link. Then after I got that shit sorted sweet 🥵. So thinking okay just go live on Facebook not a problem. BUT!!! iOS doesn’t support an audio input line in from standard cables such as the the simple AUX port that you used to use on EVERY OTHER PHONE EVER MADE coz Apple have lightning ports and you need to either plug a USB B cable from your mixer into a lightning to USB adapter for it to recognise the audio. BUT ...... I can run audio from the USB B from the Zoom U-44 mixer to my phone and that works, BUT because that mixer was plugged into my iMac 🖥 running Ableton Live with Akai APC 40MKii and a Roland JD-Xi I would loose my Audio feed and wired MIDI master clock running to MIDI Quadra thru to all other devices , if I do then I loose Ableton Live from the main computer because it needs the USB B cable to be able to route the MIDI clock to sync all the gear together so that stuffed me up when it came time to have an audio feed plugged into my iPhone X to simply go Facebook Live and it put me back at square one. I was nearly about to buy the iRig stream or Roland GO mixer but my main problem is only that little Rode SC 4 Adapter because I have all the other gear you mentioned in your Video. So if you managed to understand any of that debacle I had I just want to say a massive thank you 🙏. Saved me $$$ Kind Regards KOD3 R3DZ from Australia 🇦🇺 Bloody Rippa Mate 👍
If you add the RCA cables to a record output on your mixer or controller you wont need to worry about checking levels and then your master out con be whatever you want it to be :) just my 2 cents worth :D
DJ Setup Q?...I'm currently researching to purchase my DJ equipment....I like that you're doing things simple! I'm wondering, Would a SMARTPHONE work as well..... Also, DO I need 2 computers...PC and a Laptop? or Just 1, a Laptop?? Also are you using 2 cameras in this vid? are 2 needed?
Question. I've got a Samsung S20+ and bought an Rca to USB Type-C cable and it works BUT there is loads of noise until the music plays. Does the SC4 cable remove that noise?
Hi Ben, any advice for live streaming without having your set muted/reported for copywriting, do you have to play remixed versions of the tracks and not the original ?
That is the main concern that no one seems to give advice on. You only get away with CW if your a big named Dj which such's and is totally unfair to the average person. Especially when your not looking for any type of financial gain. Makes you go Hmmm!
Thanks, Ben for the tutorial. My brother is a DJ, too and he often goes live on IG. He goes live from his Mac or PC using this app called YellowDuck tv. The quality of the live stream is excellent.
Hello Ben great Video! Question .....Do you need to necessarily need to buy the Rode SC4? I have a TRS to TRRS adapter which is not a Rode SC4 and for some reason its not working for me, I have everything connected exactly as you instructed, Am I doing something wrong?
I have loved the classic house mixes. Nice work ... ps you do dance like goon hahahaha I introduced you to my wife last night and she was loving the dancing as well ... #dancelikeagoon hahah
Thank for the video, i did enjoy to watch, only few things: with usb from xz you could aslo get a output signap in to obs, then woks without extra cableing and must be better quality i was hoping you also talk about more setting inside of obs to stream in the best possible quality
I have the Denon DJ Prime 4 and I was looking for a way to record my mixes with my phone and have good quality audio, I asked everywhere on UA-cam with no answers until I found this video,. Now my problem is solved, Thanks..
Quality video Ben. My streams quality so far have been dog shit and I thought using my phone would be the wrong way to go. Gonna g9ve this a go this weekend. Cheers fella!!!!!
This is really helpful mate thank you you so much for sharing. I currently have the Samsung S20 and I used to livestream on my S9 but the S20 hasn't even got a headphone jack..well it has but its the smallest port I've ever seen so I will definitely get adaptors. Thank you Ben.
Great Video...Thank You Wirecast is another program like OBS only thing its not free like OBS but you can setup playlist and it works on its own you don't have to use anyone else just loop the playlist and time the durations for your scenes to change. Just a quick hint. Thats what I do when I go live.
Very good video and info... I'm after some advice please if possible.. I've gone from having big set ups years ago and djing to having nothing and during lockdown I bought a ddj200 as I don't have mega bucks to spend on decent stuff anymore and I'm having to use my headphone socket on from my mac via a stereo (doing it old SKOOL) . I'm wanting to live stream via UA-cam and poss fb as I have started a channel on here with mixes on. I can't get the audio to play via rekordbox properly into obs because of the mono sound the ddj200 puts out.. I have downloaded black hole and followed tutorials but they are using the ddj 400 and cleary has stereo output detected in rekordbox.. Any pointers at all and sorry on the essay. Thanks. Chris from Bradford
Great video 🤟🏻 possibly gonna have to get a mic now 😬😂 and get the “live” stream rather than the still shot I’ve been using. Looking forward to the next vid/ mix 🤟🏻😎🏴
My first Facebook Live was stressful. My MacBook Air couldn't handle the stream and the picture was freezing. I was trying to change scenes, look for songs, answer comments, just a lot of work. I bought a better Windows laptop that can handle the task, and I now create a Playlist. Anything that makes streaming easier and more important, fun.
Very well explained video. I just did a recorded video coz I couldn’t go live, didn’t have a trs to trrs cable. I’m trying to figure out a way. I’ve red somewhere that people can convert an iPhone earphone with mic cable to an rca connector. If u have any info on that, pls share or ask any of ur dj friends. Thanks again! Cheers
Ok...so, I have one very big question. Is the signal that you are sending to your phone a line level or a MiC level signal? If it's line...does the SC-4 have some sort of attenuator inside it that brings the line level down? Or do you just bring the volume level down a whole bunch to accommodate the massive signal going into the phone? I'm asking because I tried another adapter similar to the sc-4 (The SC-4 is apparently on back order around the globe!) and I was getting a massive signal before the adapter apparently stopped working...or the internal MiC in my Galaxy S10+ got cooked. :-( I have another adapter that looks more like the SC-4 being shipped out and I will try again. One thing I'm going to do (which is probably way overboard) is to use 2 D/I boxes to bring the level down before pushing it the phone. I'll go 1/4 in TS (L/R) from the control booth output into left/right D/I boxes. From there I will come out of each D/I box with 1/4 inch TS cables that terminate in a 3.5 mm trs male that then plugs into my TRRS adapter that goes into my cell phone headphone jack. I ran some initial tests on this and it does seem that the signal is less hot and more manageable. We will see what happens when I get the new adapter in the mail. I guess I'm still wondering how "hot" the signal is coming right out of the mixer and straight into the phone without any attenuation.
Great video Ben.. i've done everything you said.. got my RCA's connected to my master output and the TRRS adaptor going into the apple connector into my phone but sounds still not coming from my mixer ? i don't understand how to use this OBS
Reece Wilde did you assign and input device in OBS ? You have to tell it where the sound is coming from as well as the video if you’re using a webcam or whatever for the video you have to also assign that in OBS

what do you do in terms of playing licenced music so that facebook / youtube dont block your streams?
Thanks for the support & tutorial.. my plan is to use the irig2 after 10:30pm 12am at night so don’t annoy my neighbours as live in set of flats,
My level is usually fine before 10:30pm .. and I usually have my external speakers set up and it makes a huge difference on the mic..especially singing,
& break dancing .can’t went mixing lol 😂 it’s about having fun 🤩 music is key & good lighting, I definitely need that cable for Irig 2 work, I usually have a shot gun mic to pic up the audio which pretty good 😌 at picking up sound and I use
I tested the irig2 with mic and I know it works..thanks
hey will this Rode Sc4 adapter give the output in stereo for the livestream ? or will Irig 1 give stereo output ? Please let me know bro!

Thx for a good video mate, looking forward to try it out :) keep up the good faith, stay safe and take care
DJ Setup Q?...I'm currently researching to purchase my DJ equipment....I like that you're doing things simple! I'm wondering, Would a SMARTPHONE work as well..... Also, DO I need 2 computers...PC and a Laptop? or Just 1, a Laptop?? Also are you using 2 cameras in this vid? are 2 needed?
a dance like an absolute goon 😆😆 brilliant stuff mate
HI where did you get you desk unit with monitor stands please?
Question. I've got a Samsung S20+ and bought an Rca to USB Type-C cable and it works BUT there is loads of noise until the music plays. Does the SC4 cable remove that noise?
Hi Ben, any advice for live streaming without having your set muted/reported for copywriting, do you have to play remixed versions of the tracks and not the original ?
That is the main concern that no one seems to give advice on. You only get away with CW if your a big named Dj which such's and is totally unfair to the average person. Especially when your not looking for any type of financial gain. Makes you go Hmmm!
Can this method work,when you actually video/record your self while djing ,not going on live, and later upload it to your UA-cam page or Facebook?
I have the xdj-xz and ordered the stuff you have in the description. All I get is a static.
Thanks, Ben for the tutorial. My brother is a DJ, too and he often goes live on IG. He goes live from his Mac or PC using this app called YellowDuck tv. The quality of the live stream is excellent.
Great video. You covered it all. Thanks.
Nice video, thanks. If the controller only have one master out which I’m currently using for the speaker what I should do?
What cables do you need if you have an android phone for the audio set up ?
Hello Ben great Video! Question .....Do you need to necessarily need to buy the Rode SC4? I have a TRS to TRRS adapter which is not a Rode SC4 and for some reason its not working for me, I have everything connected exactly as you instructed, Am I doing something wrong?
I'm also having the same issue. So frustrating!
It has to be a RC4 cable, because on that cable, it has 3 rings at the tip.
I have loved the classic house mixes. Nice work ... ps you do dance like goon hahahaha I introduced you to my wife last night and she was loving the dancing as well ... #dancelikeagoon hahah
Thank for the video, i did enjoy to watch,
only few things:
with usb from xz you could aslo get a output signap in to obs, then woks without extra cableing and must be better quality
i was hoping you also talk about more setting inside of obs to stream in the best possible quality
@Ben.raineydj... Did I?:D Would be soo cool:P:))
What is the difference between this option and using IRig Stream?
Great video. Love your honesty and authenticity . Well done
Any tips on adding graphics to your live stream?
OBS mate
This is an awesome video. Thanks for the detailed yet so simple explanation!
7:07, Isn't the output from the controller a line level output? Isn't the input to the iPhone mic level? Seems like it would be to hot?
My Facebook audio is super loud when my mixer is barely touching green on the master, would this be why! Any tips ?
pls add link for speaker stands. not finding them on IKEA
Hi , I have a samsung note 10 and a traktor mk2 . If you pls can tell me what cables I need . Thank you
Great video! Really genuine! Really great tips and info! And yes we all hate the mic! Much love from the Cayman Islands. 🇰🇾
I have the Denon DJ Prime 4 and I was looking for a way to record my mixes with my phone and have good quality audio, I asked everywhere on UA-cam with no answers until I found this video,. Now my problem is solved, Thanks..
I hope this helps ua-cam.com/video/8gud4pyij7M/v-deo.html
Please help me how do you stream live with DJM-750
Great video bro, really informative & helpful. Really enjoyed this channel since lockdown and look forward to more great content! 🙌🎶
Quality video Ben. My streams quality so far have been dog shit and I thought using my phone would be the wrong way to go. Gonna g9ve this a go this weekend. Cheers fella!!!!!
Can you fix the link of "Tripod for DJ livestreams" please ? it doesn't work
Great video! Very informative. Am I able to use an android phone like a Samsung note 10 plus?
for the trim, we turn it to half way thorough right? i try it out today but the sound is still bit weird🤓
This is really helpful mate thank you you so much for sharing. I currently have the Samsung S20 and I used to livestream on my S9 but the S20 hasn't even got a headphone jack..well it has but its the smallest port I've ever seen so I will definitely get adaptors. Thank you Ben.
Definitely helped out a lot! I’m doing my first instalive tomorrow thanks bruv
Great Video...Thank You Wirecast is another program like OBS only thing its not free like OBS but you can setup playlist and it works on its own you don't have to use anyone else just loop the playlist and time the durations for your scenes to change. Just a quick hint. Thats what I do when I go live.
Ive ordered one of your usb sticks how long do they normally take to turn up throught the post ?
Great post thanks. What software do you use to make and edit youtube vids?
Does it have to be rca or can we use quarter inch as well?
Very good video and info... I'm after some advice please if possible.. I've gone from having big set ups years ago and djing to having nothing and during lockdown I bought a ddj200 as I don't have mega bucks to spend on decent stuff anymore and I'm having to use my headphone socket on from my mac via a stereo (doing it old SKOOL) . I'm wanting to live stream via UA-cam and poss fb as I have started a channel on here with mixes on. I can't get the audio to play via rekordbox properly into obs because of the mono sound the ddj200 puts out.. I have downloaded black hole and followed tutorials but they are using the ddj 400 and cleary has stereo output detected in rekordbox.. Any pointers at all and sorry on the essay. Thanks. Chris from Bradford
Great Post thx for the info Ben ,cleared a lot of things up for me .You man
Great video 🤟🏻 possibly gonna have to get a mic now 😬😂 and get the “live” stream rather than the still shot I’ve been using. Looking forward to the next vid/ mix 🤟🏻😎🏴
My first Facebook Live was stressful. My MacBook Air couldn't handle the stream and the picture was freezing. I was trying to change scenes, look for songs, answer comments, just a lot of work. I bought a better Windows laptop that can handle the task, and I now create a Playlist. Anything that makes streaming easier and more important, fun.
Very well explained video. I just did a recorded video coz I couldn’t go live, didn’t have a trs to trrs cable. I’m trying to figure out a way. I’ve red somewhere that people can convert an iPhone earphone with mic cable to an rca connector. If u have any info on that, pls share or ask any of ur dj friends. Thanks again! Cheers
Bhuvi Vchitra just use the same adapter he showed it’s the Rode SC4 it works fine or an IRig

This was incredibly helpful & simple. Thank you! 🙏🏽 Love from South Africa 🇿🇦
Ok...so, I have one very big question. Is the signal that you are sending to your phone a line level or a MiC level signal? If it's line...does the SC-4 have some sort of attenuator inside it that brings the line level down? Or do you just bring the volume level down a whole bunch to accommodate the massive signal going into the phone? I'm asking because I tried another adapter similar to the sc-4 (The SC-4 is apparently on back order around the globe!) and I was getting a massive signal before the adapter apparently stopped working...or the internal MiC in my Galaxy S10+ got cooked. :-( I have another adapter that looks more like the SC-4 being shipped out and I will try again. One thing I'm going to do (which is probably way overboard) is to use 2 D/I boxes to bring the level down before pushing it the phone. I'll go 1/4 in TS (L/R) from the control booth output into left/right D/I boxes. From there I will come out of each D/I box with 1/4 inch TS cables that terminate in a 3.5 mm trs male that then plugs into my TRRS adapter that goes into my cell phone headphone jack. I ran some initial tests on this and it does seem that the signal is less hot and more manageable. We will see what happens when I get the new adapter in the mail. I guess I'm still wondering how "hot" the signal is coming right out of the mixer and straight into the phone without any attenuation.
Great video Ben.. i've done everything you said.. got my RCA's connected to my master output and the TRRS adaptor going into the apple connector into my phone but sounds still not coming from my mixer ? i don't understand how to use this OBS
Reece Wilde did you assign and input device in OBS ? You have to tell it where the sound is coming from as well as the video if you’re using a webcam or whatever for the video you have to also assign that in OBS
