LiveStream Guitar with DAW Effects (Focusrite to Reaper to OBS Studio) - BEST FIX!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 тра 2024
- If you've tried to record or play your guitar using a digital audio interface (Focusrite) to a DAW (Reaper) and stream it using OBS Studio, you probably noticed that it's pretty easy, EXCEPT you can't hear your digital guitar effects. That all changes in this video with a couple of additions.

Awesome video. Thank you! If it didn't work right away guys, really make sure you followed every exact step. I even followed the steps one time through and had to reinstall Reaper again but it does work. When in doubt, reinstall.
And to make things more confusing, it seems like every time there is a software update, I have to do the process over again. It sucks, but until a DAW and the likes of an OBS get together and work something out, it's the only way I can figure out how to make it continue to work.
@@myguitarjourney3002 can it work the same way with umc22 and behringer usb audio codec? unfortunately i have no focusrite dai(
@@myguitarjourney3002 thanks a lot! i tested and it works! but there still one question left. how can i hear my guitar if i have usb headphones connected to my pc. can i output sound from reaper to my pc`s soundcard? the only way that ive found is to turn on monitoring in obs`s advanced audio properties BUT it has a big delay... and its hard to play properly irl and listen to the mess in headphones..
@@lW01Flthat delay is called latency, look for videos ‘how to reduce audio latency in reaper ‘ hopefully helps.
man thank you soooo much im serious i woulda gave up i was 6 hours in like wtf dude youre video was a huge help thank you youre not kidding when you say theres bad info out there this video was as simple as it could be very nice again thank you
I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIND THIS FOR LITERALLY A MONTH AND IT JUST RANDOMLY POPPED UP IN MY RECOMMENDED.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I have been trying to get this right for about a year. You are much appreciated! Keep making great and helpful content!
Like many others I found you after wasting time with other videos. This worked perfectly. Thank you so much!
Instead of uninstalling and reinstalling Reaper, I just reinstalled over my existing Reaper application.
Initially the audio being recorded in OBS sounded choppy, broken, bad, fuzzy, unusable etc. Removing (not disabling) other items from the scene sorted that out for me.
Thank you again for a concise, and easy to follow tutorial. Subbed and I look forward to future posts!
I've spent DAYS trying to figure this shit out but there's always been something in my way. With the help of this video, I got it all cleared up! Thank you so much man, YOU RULE
Thank you so much for your kindness for sharing this info!
This has been very useful…I hit a snug when I couldn’t see the reaper plugins in OBS at first, so I copied the reaper plugins folder manually and pasted into the VSTplugins folder in my computer, it has worked… also I realized that I always have to select TRANSITION, on OBS in order to see my changes take effect. Thanks for the tutorial.
spent days trying to figure this out thank you so much!!!
What a video, saved me. Cant deny I still tried for hours before I was able to find this master piece, but I am so happy it works now!
Thanks man!
Props for finding all that out and explaining it so well.
Just adding this in case anyone else comes up to it - When I was going through these steps, the latest version of the OBS-ASIO plugin was 3.0.3, not the 2.0.2 in the video. 3.0.0 did not work (something about bassasio issues), so I went back and installed the 2.0.3 (the second latest version) and it worked.
thk for the tip, saved my time
good eye man! thanks !
thx dude !
tks! in fact, the actual obs-asio does not work with OBS 26. this post should be fixed on top!
The missing link....thanks
I watched all of those other videos before coming here. I will say thank you a million times over. No bananas here! Clear, concise, and to the point. Keep on Rocking!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. I was literally looking at videos for hours. But your information got the job done!!! Thank you
Thank you!! I'm up and running now. This is the only video that helped me after watching about 50 other videos that were totally useless.
Cheers! 😁
Thanks! You saved me! I spend the whole last night awake trying to fix it and I just found your video today.
THANKS. For real!
This is likely the most helpful video of its kind available... thank you!!!
*OHH WOW!! You did it!!* This worked for me I was just struggling to find a way to connect the two. This was quick and simple!!🤩🤩
Thank you! I had been banging my head against the wall - first with OBS, then with Reaper. This worked and it sounds awesome!
Great job. Perfect explanation, great solution to persistent problem!
my god thank you so much for this video! been super frustrated trying livestream my guitar! video is perfect and works! you're a legend!
Heck yeah, brother! Clear and concise information.
Jesus! Thank you! Finally someone who makes this easier and straightforward without any weird and unnecessary tricks and workarounds!
thanks. just remember that when any of the software updates, it breaks everything and you need to reload it again. this is just a hack job. these two companies should work together to make it simpler out of the box.
Dude....you literally have no clue how much you have helped me!!! I have a UA-cam channel myself, and I've been wanting to do amp simulator demos forever now. I have went down the Voicemeeter route...nothing but feedback when trying to record the amp sim in Reaper. I was at the point where I was about to just stick a microphone in front of my monitoring speaker...
But somehow I found this video amongst all of the rest that use Voicemeeter. The one and only solution that I have ever found to work. I would have never figured this out on my own, and I have no clue how you managed to do it...but you did, and you are the man for sharing this!!!
I am so glad that I was able to help you.
I’m just starting on this stuff so you are both professors as far as I’m concerned, lol!
God bless you man! Thank you so much!
Thanks , so helpful, finally it work right away.
This worked, thank you!
Great video. Thank you for this
This is the video that I always recommend. Works great.
Thank you! I spent several days fighting with all the bananas and potatoes. When I found your video and finally got it to work (my biggest stumbling block was the reastream plug in was loaded into the wrong folder), I was so glad you took the time to document your process so clearly and concisely. I use a Presonnus 1810C and was able to get everything working perfectly.
Another stumbling block, when I went to Github for asio driver, the latest version was a 3.xx that required some other gyration which I never did figure out, so word to the wise for others. Take the 2.xx version. It works great.
thanks for adding
You da man! Thank you for the tutorial! This helped immensely!
been looking for this exact solution for months. ty so much. xoxoxox
You're a hero! Going to use this for a stream tonight! It's working
I LOVE YOU SO MUCHHHHH!!! I GOT MAD TOO WITH THIS PROBLEMMMMM AHHHHHHGGGGGGGG I haven't tried yet, but i will tomorrow... You made me feel alive again. Thank you so so so so so so so much
Thank you so much Steve. I don't know how you worked this out, it was driving me crazy and I would never have discovered the things you describe here without your help. Focusrite should hire you to write their help page! It's a brilliant guide and thank you for making it so easy to follow. NB fyi, maybe due to using more recent versions of software (eg Reaper 7.11), when I got to the `clincher' I was horrified to find that OSB didn't list the correct VST as a filter - but luckily it all worked without needing this.
Thank you very much!!!! Awesome! Now I can start rocking in my stream!!!
Glad I could help!
First off, great video! This is extremely helpful and should get most, if not all, people streaming epic guitar riffs. However, it is even easier than how you have it demonstrated...
1) You downloaded ReaPlugs but never configured it in Reaper. You used the built-in ReaStream (Cockos) plug-in that comes with Reaper, not ReaPlugs ReaStream (ReaPlugs edition). So the step of downloading and installing ReaPlugs is technically not needed. Just use the built-in ReaStream (Cockos) plug-in as you did and call it good.
To use ReaPlugs ReaStream (ReaPlugs edition) you first need to go to Options > Preferences > Plug-ins > VST and add the path to the ReaPlugs package you just installed (C:\Program Files\VSTPlugins\ReaPlugs). Reaper does not see this directory by default (at least on my install and clearly on your install because you didn't use it). Once you do this, hit the [Re-scan] button and Reaper will be configured to use ReaPlugs ReaStream (ReaPlugs edition).
2) You don't have the link to the OBS-ASIO plug-in in your description. This is easy enough to Google and find it though. Also, OBS-ASIO is technically not needed either. See #3.
3) The OBS-ASIO plug-in is technically not needed. All you have to do is add any input device and apply the ReaStream filter. In my case I just used the "default" input device which is my Desktop Audio. I applied the filter and off we go. I also have mix/aux inputs from my sound card that I do not use so I can add my audio card mic/aux as an input, apply the filter and off we go... (lots of ways to get there). You can even apply the filter to your USB mic input or any other input not currently being used so long as you add the ReaStream filter you will get the Reaper audio (with FX) in OBS. Adding the OBS-ASIO plug-in gives you an additional input device that you can use to configure ReaStream and have its own independent item in the audio mixer. Again, technically not needed but provides additional flexibility and configuration for your audio mixing, so it is a good thing.
Again, your video was great and it gave me a head start for sure. But at the end of the day you don't need to download and install anything. You can accomplish what you are trying to do with the built-in plug-ins from Reaper and the standard VST 2.x plug-in support in OBS (VST2 > Standalone).
OK... So by default OBS will look in the install directory for ReaPlugs to gain access to the ReaStream VST2.x plug-in. So, installing ReaPlugs is not a bad thing and will make it ever so slightly easy for OBS to find the plug-in (it just works). Alternatively, you can point OBS to a different location to use the ReaStream plug-in that comes with Reapers (To my knowledge and I think this is how I have it setup. Again, great video and this armed me with enough info to get it all working. The confusion comes from the nth number of ways this can be done... Do your research and use what works best for you, but this video certainly gets the ball rolling.
@@ErgMaN_2point0 hey thanks for the clarification. I recently set up ReaStream from Reaper to OBS and I was wondering why the extra setup and steps would be required. It's working great for me, at least when recording in OBS. Got a couple of questions for you, if you don't mind:
1) Do you know if there is any difference between the ReaPlugs version and the built-in version of ReaStream? (I assume there is no difference)
2) Do you stream out to Zoom, etc? And if so, how do you do that and is there any issue with a live guitar track coming from Reaper? (I'm using VB-Cable)
Thanks in advance.
THANK YOU
Thank you Steve!
you are amazing!! thank you.
Absolutely amazing video. ALL the other videos about this SUCK. Wrong information, missing steps, explaining too fast, etc. I’d spend two hours following someone’s instructions and….of course it wouldn’t work. This was perfect. THANK YOU.
Thanks man, it's a perfect job you are the best of all people in youtube, finally after getting tired you gave me the key and everyone on youtube made the solutions and made it more difficult
You are awesome. Enough said.
Thanks man this help me a lot! cheers
Thank you for this it's helped me get OBS working with Reaper. I'm not adding any effects but it works just as well.
You're welcome!
Thank You so much.
You are my god!! You saved my boring life now i can stream to twitch with the best reverbs,compressor, auto tune and all the ear candy in the world
Will also buy reaper. I am so happy right now. Thank you sp very much
Thanks, Bro!!!
thanks for this detailed tutorial. really help.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank You Very Much !!!! It works great now :)
Thank you so much!!!
Man this has helped me soooo much! Thank you! Also if anyone is running into delay issues with your guitar not syncing up with you desktop audio. Try to put just a 100ms off sync on it. This fix my delay issue. Hope this helps!
in the obs mixer, right? I have a slight delay its very minimal, but I would love to have it perfect.
Yo i never coment, but you just helped me out so much, my head was exploding for months to make this work, thank you so much
OMG that did the trick! 🤘🤘
thanks so much for the video
thanks for helping
ohh yeah this is awesome
Man, you saved me so much time. Thank you so much! And btw, you don't technically have to do a complete uninstall and reinstall of reaper. Just do an update, or redownload it, you'll have the option to download the ReaRoute ASIO by doing that. That way, you can keep all your settings/layout/themes/etc and bypass having to do the whole setup again. That's what I did.
this is crystal clear. and you are right w the banana mumbo jumbo stuff, they're all confusing.
awesome content! thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for the help, but I am stuck in 12:23 because it doesn't show reastream in the list heeeeeeelp
I love the banana joke😂😂😂. Anyways, I think this is one video that finally helped me figure out how to live stream . So thanks a lot man❤️
Dude! THIS IS A GAME CHANGER!!!!
Glad to help!
THANKYOU
Wow, so you've just given us two independent ways to send audio directly from Reaper to OBS with practically zero latency. Amazing! I figured out the ReaStream workflow just before finding your video. I had given up on ReaRoute lol. Just curious, if you see this. Do you have a preference? They both seem pretty solid.
jury's still out. still testing to find consistency
@@myguitarjourney3002 If you have any revelations, I'd be glad to hear them! :)
ty so much
Thank you 🤩🥰
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you so much. Very informative and clear. Do you know, does this work with Cakewalk by Bandlab? Thanks.
Good vid! I didn't know about the OBS to Asio and the ReaRoute option. I might give those a go. I have had pretty good success without those two items, however. As for an Audio Input source in OBS; as long as you can choose an unused audio device you can connect the ReaStream plugin. I choose my webcam mic since I don't use it. I turn the volume down with a gain plugin and then add the ReaStream plugin...works great. I think you can also use an already used input as well if you add the gain plugin and turn it down before the ReaStream.
It might keep things a little more lean for OBS to process...plus you don't have to do all of the extra steps every time you reinstall.
ok that could be my last hope..I get sigmal from the cams mic mixed in, like a horrible high machine whine under evrything. I just tried killing the volume in obs audio mixer but its still there..ok so you used a gain plug before reastream..i'll try that cheers
I made the mistake of getting all that stuff at once, I’m overwhelmed🤣 after shooting UA-cam videos with a phone and a handheld Walmart camera for a few years this stuff is blowing my mind!
I’ve done some stuff with the OBS but it wasn’t music.
When I figure out how to get Ableton into OBS I’ll try some music again!
Thanks for saving my time!
Glad it helped!
Thhannnkksss!!!!
Put the links in the description, takes on extra minute and saves a lot of time.
Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!
I just got all that computer stuff after 300 videos on a cheap plastic Walmart cam and windows movie maker! 🤣 the last 4 or 5 videos I made were just comedy skits with OBS and Focusrite (and what I figured out to this point) but I haven’t gotten around to the DAW software I downloaded so I haven’t started back with music videos yet.
I was doing pretty good just playing my guitar with UA-cam backing tracks on the little camera with its built in microphone and balancing the room sound by ear, so I feel like I could get a lot better sound once I figure out all this technical stuff, or I’m hoping so anyhow, lol!
It sure is a lot different than our sound gear I’m used to dealing with. I’m so used to a knobs and slider bars!
I guess I’m as old school as they come, lol!
what does the reastream plugin do? I did everything the same as you except no reastream, I just went into the route of the master track and added a send to rearoute 1/2 and everything works
Thanks for this I was so frustrated with the no guitar sound great fix. Is there a method to doing this with streamlabs OBS as well?
Thank you for this information I appreciate it. I wonder why I don't see any signal coming in from track 1 and 2 to my "master" .
Вы мне очень очень помогли!!!Спасибо Вам огромное!
The only tutorial I need. That Banana video cracked me haha.
Thanks 🤘😋✌😇
Very Helpful here please go ahead with more subbed !!
hey i need help dealing with latency, aside from that this is the only thing i could get to work!! amazing video!
OBS --- hit cog for the capture source -- Advanced Audio Properties
need an updated version please
I was able to right click on audio input capture, click on filters, and then choose Bias FX2 from the drop down menu in the filters area. Doing this allowed the sound from my VST plug-in to be captured on my recordings inside of the OBS software. Is there a reason to go through all of the steps mentioned in this video? If so, what are they? I'm very new to this and just downloaded OBS yesterday. Thanks for any insight.
Great video sir.. subscribed 👍
Thanks for the sub!
None of the plugins are there despite following the steps to the T. I think it might be a path issue. Any ideas on how to get OBS to see the plugins?
Everything in this video worked, but the only problem I'm running into is the distortion/FX from my Bias FX isn't coming through. It's just a dry, clean signal. Any help would be much appreciated.
It was so fun that I learned a lots of OBS watching your video. Your straight to point no f around was so cool. Any one doing step by step following your guide should be good at live streaming with OBS. What I was trying to do is using Reaper and applying your guide of Rearoute in Paltalk , a live chat and talk on live streaming software. I can hear echo thru my head phone from Focus Rite Scarlett but my friends in Paltalk room did not hear the echo of my voice. Is there a way?
For me that was having the volume on the main out and monitor (which is the headset) at the same time in the volume preference bars audio sections where you tap the little asterisk to adjust the volume deeper in that part of the OBS.
I don’t know how you’re set up but it will do that without even introducing your DAW if you’re using headphones and have two mics circling the signal!
Regardless how you were set up the cause of that is almost always the audio circling back into the system through a second audio in source somehow! (Like feeding back on stage because the mic is too hot and it’s squealing through the monitor that’s facing you, except now being all digital it’s harder to figure out exactly where, lol)
That’s one of the few things that I have figured out about OBS and Focusrite!
You’ve probably already found it by now though?
I just set my stuff up and all of my music videos were done the old-school way. I’m definitely still learning and it’s rough!
If it’s not what I suggested and it’s in your DAW it’s likely something similar. When you hear that doubling (slap back effect) it’s “always” because a signal is being re-processed!
Hi thank you for your help. I am having some trouble when recording. There is some clicking noice on the audio when recording guitar, do you know what this is and how I can avoid it? Cheers
Hi thanks for sharing this minefield. Will this work with Mac as it installed reaper automatically?
What if your want to separate input 1 and 2 in obs.
Holy shit what a god!
Hey Steve , I feel your pain I'm 2 weeks messing with bananas and virtual cables , so when you tick the box for reastream ASIO driver , how do I get around this in studio one?
This was super helpful! Just one question, I can't figure out how to get my mic to pick up my voice but not the clean sound that comes from my guitar when I play
You need to add them as two different audio inputs. 1 for mic 1 for the guitar
I am trying to take the output from Scarlett and send it out to the stream using Streamlabs OBS.
Can you do a video on how to do this on Apple laptops? I want to have reverb on my vocals and some EQ. So I think I need to use a DAW cause I don't have a mixer.
Is this possible on Twitch?? Does Twitch use OBS?
im using software amps. been trying to make restream work for years, finally can because of you. however the audio from my guitar and vst amps is coming out staticky and unbearable to hear.
Great tutorial. Will we still be able to hear also the desktop sounds like media player using backing tracks? While playing along in reaper?
that's a very good question
Yes
That was a but for me, in this tutorial. The tutorial is the best there is about this issue and @my guitar journey solved it, the play with fx and record or stream in obs studio is done if you play alone your own music, guitar and voice with fx, thats solved with this tutorial. But my issue came when I used spotify as a source of backing tracks, if you use spotify or another media player in my case I had a delay in the recorded sessions in one of the 2 audio sources it feels like Im rushing the song, so the spotify audio has a delay, this doesnt happen when I hear or record what Im doing, only when on the recorded video. I solved it by adding the song or sample backtrack in reaper and played along, theres pretty much no delay that way specially when you are playing, maybe theres a tiny minimal delay that you might adjust this way -->. A guy in the comment section said you have to adjust delay in the OBS mixer I think so when you record the audio is synched, today Im doing all this test. I will try that last thing and see what happens.
Can you further do more videos bout this?
