I have no luck doing these, are there any hidden step that are not included in the video? because the reastream on the ableton that is for sending audio can detect my audio but the receiving side on the obs has no luck detecting the audio
You showed downloading a virtual audio cable. Where was this used? I saw where the restream plugin was used, but don't understand how you are using the virtual cable. Secondly, when I put the restream plugin on the master channel, the only way I can send sound to OBS is if monitoring on the channel is on, which I do not want for vocals and guitar because it causes a doubling effect. Can you help me sort this out?
Hey author, just a tip about the soloing an instrument and losing your voice: you should be able to solo multiple tracks by Ctrl+Clicking the voice channel after soloing the instrument. At least, I think it's Ctrl, im on a mac so it's Cmd for me. Great video, this solved audio through my DAW to my stream as well as the super annoying voice latency thing. ❤
Thank you for the video. Is there any way to send the mic signal to OBS via Ableton->Reastream WITHOUT hearing yourself/monitoring it? Cause when monitoring the mic in ableton it plays in my headphones
In the event you dont want to hear yourself, You would create a mic input in OBS and just make sure monitoring is turned off. IE run your mic directly into OBS. You can use vst plugins on there, I just find the process easier in Ableton. But I don't think this could be achieved without monitoring when it comes to running the Vox into Ableton.
I've been bashing my head against Ableton for weeks throwing different open source programs and drivers at the problem and could NOT figure this out for the life of me. Thank you so much, this was crazy helpful!
I have been pulling my non existent hair out trying to get my DAW, Sound i/f, OBS all working without latency. Each time the pc would end up bsod. This VST has made ALL the difference! Thankyou!!!
But in a ableton do we have to select our interface right ? And second thing is, how to set up the voice meter software because I watched you downloaded it
You would be using ableton as you regularly would. Nothing is different except you are adding the reastream plugin onto your master channel so it can 'send out' the signal to OBS. I actually mostly used The VB Cable audio driver, but during this video I just happened to have it set to the voice meter driver. The driver you choose does not neccesarily matter, as long as the driver is not playing any audio through it. The reasoning is because we are not relying on the audio driver to recieve audio, we are strictly relying on the reastream plugin.
You're a lifesaver, I'd totally forgotten to install the VB Cable on my new rig and my new motherboard doesn't have Stereo Mix as a record option, I was freaking out till I saw this hahah
Solo channels should still go through the master on ableton. Assuming you are running your vocals through ableton, I think the main option would be either to only enable the audio tracks you want to hear, or if you hold ctrl and than click, you could solo your vox, and the track you want to hear. But thats still arguably annoying to have to do. I personally wouldn't just use grouping, and disable the tracks you dont want to hear / enable the ones you do.
Thank you so much for the help! Is there a way to make it so I don't have to hear my mic input? Even with ultra-low latency, it's distracting hearing my voice. Thanks again.
Hmm. I think what you want to do is consider recording the mic on a separate input inside obs, then turn monitoring off for that input. Do some quick test recordings to make sure it's working as a good habit. You can make use of plugins in obs as well. You just have to make sure the plugins are installed in the right folder for obs to use them. Obs also has a semi decent set of built in plugins for recording purposes.
@@ILLUMINI-MUSIC Thank you for the very fast response! I tried this, but OBS doesn't pick up the signal while Ableton is active. It seems the mic is only picked up while routing it through the VB Cable setting you recommended in this video. Any ideas on this one?
There should be a way to create another input in obs that directly takes your mic input. Essentially meaning obs will have 2 separate inputs, one for Ableton, and one for the mic input. ableton could potentially be taking priority of the audio while it's running though. I'd have to dig into it but I'm pretty sure it's possible. I'll try to get around to checking this weekend.
@@cryptic_beats After messing around with the settings for a bit, I can confirm that this is possible. Its just a matter of making sure all your audio settings are correct in OBS and on windows.

@@random-person-20 it's about finding a good balance. Try moving closer to your mic, so that your voice is louder. The next logical step would be to consider purchasing a silent keyboard.
This is most likely an issue with the install location of the VST's. Make sure you are running 64bit on both OBS and the vst plugins, then check to ensure they are installed in the correct location for use with OBS. Which should be Program Files/VSTPlugins
When I go to the filters on my new audio input source in OBS, Reastream isn't on the list of plugins. Is there a way I can tell OBS where to look for plugins?
This has to do with the install location of the reastream plugin. Google search the vst install location for OBS, and you'll then need to reinstall restream to that location.
Illumini - thanks for the video. Small issue that I'm hoping you can help fix. When I add the VST 2x Plug-in audio filter, my dropdown menu (where you selected restream) shows up with nothing on the list. I know your video is a few years ago, so things may have changed with OBS 28, but I'm wondering if you could provide any help. Thank you!
If you read other comments with similar questions, youl find that the plugin needs to be installed in the right location in order to show up on obs. Google something like "OBS default vst install location windows" and you should find your answer
Hi! thank you for your video! It almost worked but I have two problems for my side 1. using the VB audio driver doesn't work in obs (the plugin reastream doest'n receive any signal. 2. i succeeded by the asio driver (asio input capture), i get a signal in reastream, but there is some weirds sizzles in the sound, some imperfections (not really far, it's loud enough to be unlistenable). I use a scarlett sound interface, with the asio driver, and my sound is coming out by my scarlett extern interface. this two questions are relatable i think because you don't use asio input capture and specifically the VB audio driver.
Sorry if im off track here, as im having a little trouble understanding your question. But what it sounds like is that you may not be using reastream correctly. 1. The sound doesn't actually get sent to OBS via any of the selected input options in OBS, the sound is transferred into OBS through use of the reastream plugin. Youl want to have reastream running in both Ableton, and OBS, with the settings mentioned in the video. The reason I use VB cable driver, is because it acts as a 'dummy driver' that I can use so that my microphone is not coming through twice. (Only coming into restream from ableton) 2. I didnt go into deeper detail about this in the video, but what you will be actively listening to is the audio you are hearing from ableton (as if you werent even using OBS). If you monitor through OBS, then you will be dealing with the latency (time it takes for the audio to reach obs). Try watching through it one more time to ensure your setting up reastream correctly, and record a quick video to verify its working. Dont hesitate to comment back if you continue to have issues, and worst case scenario ill hop onto a discord call to help you get it set up! Thanks for watching :)
I CANT wait to get home from work to try this, I’ve been struggling for months to get Ableton audio (midi novation launchpad soundboard) and XLR mic for recording audio portion of podcast and sending the audio to OBS to record the video and audio!
You will have to elaborate a bit for me. Are you monitoring inside of Ableton or OBS? You should be able to use Asio just fine in Ableton, I would tinker with the settings a bit until you get some output. Also double check your default audio driver settings on windows.
oh god thanks :') i had to do like 80 extra friggin steps because the plugins weren't showing up in the right places at all and i had to wrack my brain to get it working aaahhhh but thanks. without your video i wouldn't have gotten there at all
10 outta fucking 10!!! Everything was perfectly the same for me. Even though Windows 10, Ableton, Reaper, OBS and VB-Cable got newer. The procedure is still the same. Thanks man!
Hey! Not sure why but when I do not see VoiceMeeter Output - just Cable Output If I select cable output and try to add the reastream plugin, it does not show even though it is added in ableton and configured for local broadcast. I feel like I am so close! what gives! edit: figured it out! since i was using a custom vst plugin folder in the x86 path, obs was not seeing the plugin until after i moved my plugin path to program files (64 bit)
I pulled up VST 2.x Plug-in within Filters in OBS but I don't see anything in the dropdown for {Please select a plug-in}. Reinstalled drivers on C-Drive, any ideas?
This is most likely an issue with the install location of the VST's. Make sure you are running 64bit on both OBS and the vst plugins, then check to ensure they are installed in the correct location for use with OBS. Which should be Program Files/VSTPlugins
@@ILLUMINI-MUSIC Thank you! I had to completely delete the originals I download to my external hard drive, then re-install in the path you provided /VSTPlugins and it worked.
Great video. That solves my problem! Curious...if you set up a pre-fader Return channel for your MIC, and do the processing and mix to master from there, does it get around the solo issue? Like, you'd even bring the fader down all the way on the actual audio input, cause you're monitoring via pre-fader send to a Return track, which are usually clear from soloing cause FX?
It doesnt neccisarily have to be VB-Cable. It could really be any free virtual audio driver as long as its not actually taking any inputs (or outputting any sound) It just needs to act as a dummy driver. Reastream is whats actually handling the audio.
Also, if you installed it, then go to the task bar and type 'change system sounds" click playback, and make sure cable is enabled in the list of devices
HELLO AND THANK YOU I FOLLOWED YOUR STEPS EXACTLY BUT MY OBS DOEN'T RECEIVE THE AUDIO FROM ABLETON EVEN PLUGGIN SHOWS THAT THE AUDIO IS SENDING ...THE OBS VST2 PLUGGIN STREAMING STANDALONE DOESN'T RECEIVE IT...MAYBE A SOLUTION OR WHAT IS THE CAUSE?
It's hard for me to offer a solid solution without being there to diagnose, but start with double be checking your settings on both plugins. • Make sure the identifiers match exactly, • Reastream on ableton is set to send audio • Reastream on OBS is set to review • Audio channels are set to 2 on both • They are both enabled After that I would double check your audio preferences in ableton, windows, and input settings In OBS.
Can you do real time mixing and adding plugins on individual tracks/channels? Cuz I tried it and it doesn't reflect in the stream , only on my monitor headphones
it would be awesome to know how to shown the pluggins windows that i pop up in ableton - i cannt do it. I mean - im not using the screen capture im using the windows capture and - of course - those pluggins windows wont show on the steam :C
I would use screen capture. Window capture will only capture the specific window of the app (being ableton) Which I honestly haven't played around with the idea of using window capture, so I'm not exactly sure of the exact behavior of plugin windows in ableton when it comes to window capture.
I am trying to find some good videos that can show me, how to link my Ableton Live Lite 11 and microphone to my windows pc so that I can do ASMR streaming on Twitch. I already downloaded OBS last night, I am trying to figure out how to attach the OBS file to the Ableton Live system.
I'm not sure if it will also show the plugin windows. Keep in mind ableton does have a full screen mode if you are worried about hiding the task bar. I always just use screen capture and set ableton to full screen.
This is where i didn´t receive Audio 03:23. Everything is setup like shown in your video but it doesn´t receive audio in OBS :( Any solution for this or what iam doing not right? THX Alex
One of my Replies to another comment: Make sure: 1. Both plugins are running as the same vst type (IE vst2 64bit) 2. Both plugins are enabled. 3. The plugin in (ableton) is on the master channel., Is also set to send out audio, and set to local broadcast, and audio channels are set to 2. 4. The plugin in (OBS) is set to receive audio. 5. Both identifiers match! (Can leave as default) Your audio settings on Ableton and windows should be set to what you normally produce with. Reastream is what gets the audio into OBS, it's independent of everything else. Let me know how it goes!
i had this working fine - but then it stopped working - i thought i lost the reastream vst so i installed it again - there were two instances of the vst on my pc so i got rid of all of them and started fresh - even got rid of OBS - but it is now not connecting between the two from ableon to obs any help with this???
It could be a number of things. But I would first start by double checking the vst settings, make sure they are set correctly as show in the video. Then from there id take a look into the audio settings on the PC itself. Make sure that is lined out how youd expect. You could experiment whether or not reasteeam is actually working by running 2 instances of your DAW, and placing reastream in both. Basically the way you would check, is once the plugins are setup in both daws. Just play a song or a long sound on the broadcasting end, then go to the receiving instance, and see if audio if coming through. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching :)
Restream plugin in OBS does not receive any audio from my ableton for some reason. I have it set up identically to how you do, every detail identical. but for whatever reason, restream in OBS simply doens't receive anything... Should I be using voicemeeter instead of Cable?
I would double check that you're running the same version on both Ableton and obs. (Vst2 64bit). It won't matter which driver you use, as long as it's not your main driver, because it's just simply acting as a dummy driver.

Let me know how it goes!
I would add just because I was having a problem with this, I mistakenly chose in OBS "Audio Output Capture" instead of "Audio Input Capture" for my source. Once I switched it to the input capture, it was all good. They can be set up almost identically which is what made it look like I was doing it right, but wasn't receiving from Ableton.
You may be experiencing a feedback loop. I would try toggling mute on all your inputs / outputs and see if you can track down the culprit. You may need to alter the routing as well.
what do i set as the audio device within ableton? i got everything to play through the master track but its not getting sent to OBS... my usual device is Asio4all, am i supposed to change it to something else?
It shouldn't really matter what your audio settings are in the ableton preferences. Reastream is what is sending the audio from ableton to obs. The native ableton settings have nothing to do with it. May sure reastream is set on your master channel in Ableton, and has all the settings I mention in the video. And the ensure reastream has also been setup to receive audio inside obs.
Hey man great video; unfortunately my reaplugs (and all VST) are in an external drive so OBS won't pick it up in the drop down. I installed an additional copy of reaplugs in the C:/ folder that OBS finds VST's and it recognized it; however, the audio isn't linking since I believe it's because my Ableton is using my F:/ reaplugs and OBS a separate reaplugs from C:/. Any idea how to work around this? Cheers
I would try installing the reaplugs into one of abletons recommend folders on your machine. This link will bring you to a page that lists the file paths that ableton uses natively on your main drive. help.ableton.com/hc/en-us/articles/209071729-Using-VST-plug-ins-on-Windows If that doesn't work, feel free to PM me on Facebook and I'll be happy to help you work through this bug :) facebook.com/xxdjtwelvexx

@@mikegolden2603 are you monitoring through ableton? Or through OBS? And by arturia keyboards, do you mean your using a hardware keyboard? Or a plugin from arturia?
I use plugins like arturia moog, or roland cloud, no hardware, and through OBS i choose ableton on capture (- right click / properties / Ableton) and the virtual synth doesnt show up, hope I am clear now lol@@ILLUMINI-MUSIC
I don't actually monitor through OBS in this video. You monitor through ableton because OBS creates additional undesired lag. Watch through the video carefully once more, and if that doesn't fix things, hit me back once more and we can schedule a zoom chat to get it working.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Can't believe how much easier this was than routing through Bananameeter 😑. Currently have my mic going into OBS with my voice sitting above the mix (best for educational type streams), but definitely love that I can mute in OBS, then arm in Ableton for processed vocals that sit nicely in the mix. Thanks again 🙏✨
@@kingkomodo9084 you might consider attempting to re install it. There are a few other reasons as to why it may not be showing up. But a fresh install of vb cable would be the first thing I'd try. After that Lmk if your still having issues and we can plan a time to connect and try to resolve it.
@@ILLUMINI-MUSIC it worked. thank you. now i could select VirtualCABLE output in OBS. i think the problem was, that i installed something else in the meantime (Realphones plugin).

@@ILLUMINI-MUSIC I did. I went through the hardware route. I got myself some patch cables to connect my audio interface's output into it's input. I have the behringer umc404hd .
I heard from another commenter that this same issue began happening after they updated OBS. You may be able to download an older version, I personally Haven't updated mine in awhile but will probably do so eventually. I'll let you know if I confront this issue down the road and find any other resolve. My only other advice would be to check your audio driver settings, and use something like driver booster to check for any other driver updates. Best of luck :)
I follow the steps, and ReaStream works in Ableton, but its not being picked up by OBS. Any ideas? I can see it in OBS in Filters, and I choose it and make sure its set to receive, but it doesnt receive anything.
Is the reastraam in ableton on your master channel? Are they both enabled? Did you set up the dummy driver correctly? Unfourtunatly Its hard for me to pinpoint the exact issue without being there in person, It could be anything from audio conflict, to something much more simple. Maybe run through the video once more to ensure you didn't miss anything. Best of luck!

I can't get OBS to record my Ableton DAW screen exactly how it looks as if you'd opened it on your computer yourself. It's smaller and the parameter values are difficult to read. Can you help with recording my screen exactly how it looks, please?
Is there any specific settings you're using on your PC to avoid latency issues? Or is it simply the restream plugin that avoids a lot of those problems? Thanks for the video, this was super helpful!
You will want to monitor everything through ableton, and not obs. As far as latency in ableton goes, you will want to play with your audio settings to find a good compromise between latency and CPU load. Trying to achieve this without the reastream plugin, or an interface that has loopback built in will be very difficult. I've made alot of attempts with no avail, altho I heard of some Mac users using an app called sound flower.
This does not work for me, reastream doesn't show up as a plugin and even if I add the folder to the ableton side panel it wont register as a plugin it just shows the internal files
1. Make sure you install the vst2 64bit version. 2. make sure you install to the correct location for OBS to see it. 3. In Ableton I believe in settings you want to use a custom vst2 folder.
I have been searching this topic for 2 weeks now and was about to throw my laptop off my balcony!! Thank you so much for this video (and for saving my sanity!) ! Have you figured out what causes the mic to cut out when you solo an instrument?
I'm happy I could help! ☺️ The reason it cuts out is because when you solo an track, it only sends the soloed tracks audio out. All others are muted (including the track your sending you're vocals through). To avoid this, you can set up a microphone input directly inside OBS. Meaning you will have 2 inputs, one for ableton using the reastream plugin, and another acting simply as a mic input. It's a bit more setup, but it does work.
Awe, thanks :) I'll shoot you a sub back! I try to upload weekly, but I recently started a coding bootcamp and it's kept me crazy busy. Music will always be my true passion though.

Omg thank you!! I had the same problem you did with my mic coming through twice!
Thank you! The virtual cable is absolutely critical!
It could be handy to inform people about OBS only looking for VSTs in very little locations, and cannot be set to a custom VST folder.
Just tried this & when I got to the Filter part, the reastream plugin doesn't show in the dropdown menu under plugins. Any fix?
This is most likely an issue with the install location of the VST's. Make sure you are running 64bit on both OBS and the vst plugins, then check to ensure they are installed in the correct location for use with OBS. Which should be Program Files/VSTPlugins
When I go to the filters on my new audio input source in OBS, Reastream isn't on the list of plugins. Is there a way I can tell OBS where to look for plugins?
This has to do with the install location of the reastream plugin. Google search the vst install location for OBS, and you'll then need to reinstall restream to that location.
I believe I answered a similar question in more detail on a previous comment someone else Posted.
Hell yes!! This works great!
Illumini - thanks for the video. Small issue that I'm hoping you can help fix. When I add the VST 2x Plug-in audio filter, my dropdown menu (where you selected restream) shows up with nothing on the list. I know your video is a few years ago, so things may have changed with OBS 28, but I'm wondering if you could provide any help. Thank you!
If you read other comments with similar questions, youl find that the plugin needs to be installed in the right location in order to show up on obs. Google something like "OBS default vst install location windows" and you should find your answer
Hi! thank you for your video! It almost worked but I have two problems for my side
1. using the VB audio driver doesn't work in obs (the plugin reastream doest'n receive any signal.
2. i succeeded by the asio driver (asio input capture), i get a signal in reastream, but there is some weirds sizzles in the sound, some imperfections (not really far, it's loud enough to be unlistenable).
I use a scarlett sound interface, with the asio driver, and my sound is coming out by my scarlett extern interface.
this two questions are relatable i think because you don't use asio input capture and specifically the VB audio driver.
Sorry if im off track here, as im having a little trouble understanding your question. But what it sounds like is that you may not be using reastream correctly.
1. The sound doesn't actually get sent to OBS via any of the selected input options in OBS, the sound is transferred into OBS through use of the reastream plugin. Youl want to have reastream running in both Ableton, and OBS, with the settings mentioned in the video. The reason I use VB cable driver, is because it acts as a 'dummy driver' that I can use so that my microphone is not coming through twice. (Only coming into restream from ableton)
2. I didnt go into deeper detail about this in the video, but what you will be actively listening to is the audio you are hearing from ableton (as if you werent even using OBS). If you monitor through OBS, then you will be dealing with the latency (time it takes for the audio to reach obs).
Try watching through it one more time to ensure your setting up reastream correctly, and record a quick video to verify its working. Dont hesitate to comment back if you continue to have issues, and worst case scenario ill hop onto a discord call to help you get it set up! Thanks for watching :)
I CANT wait to get home from work to try this, I’ve been struggling for months to get Ableton audio (midi novation launchpad soundboard) and XLR mic for recording audio portion of podcast and sending the audio to OBS to record the video and audio!
This should work out good for you :) feel free to comment back if you run into issues and I'll try my best to sort it out!
Best video on youtube that shows how to do this.
Thanks!
Thank you! I'm happy to help! :)
I'm having latency issues when using MME/DirectX Driver type - and nothing comes through when using ASIO. Do you have any suggestions?
You will have to elaborate a bit for me. Are you monitoring inside of Ableton or OBS? You should be able to use Asio just fine in Ableton, I would tinker with the settings a bit until you get some output. Also double check your default audio driver settings on windows.
oh god thanks :') i had to do like 80 extra friggin steps because the plugins weren't showing up in the right places at all and i had to wrack my brain to get it working aaahhhh but thanks. without your video i wouldn't have gotten there at all
10 outta fucking 10!!!
Everything was perfectly the same for me.
Even though Windows 10, Ableton, Reaper,
OBS and VB-Cable got newer.
The procedure is still the same.
Thanks man!
Im glad this helped you out! Thank you for the stellar feedback :)
Hey! Not sure why but when I do not see VoiceMeeter Output - just Cable Output
If I select cable output and try to add the reastream plugin, it does not show even though it is added in ableton and configured for local broadcast.
I feel like I am so close! what gives!
edit: figured it out! since i was using a custom vst plugin folder in the x86 path, obs was not seeing the plugin until after i moved my plugin path to program files (64 bit)
Glad you got it sorted out! Thanks for watching:)
@@ILLUMINI-MUSIC Glad i found it! Thank you for making it!
So how do you add another audio source into this? Like the audio from UA-cam for example.
Do you mean record audio from ableton and you're computer simultaneously?
I pulled up VST 2.x Plug-in within Filters in OBS but I don't see anything in the dropdown for {Please select a plug-in}. Reinstalled drivers on C-Drive, any ideas?
This is most likely an issue with the install location of the VST's. Make sure you are running 64bit on both OBS and the vst plugins, then check to ensure they are installed in the correct location for use with OBS. Which should be Program Files/VSTPlugins
@@ILLUMINI-MUSIC Thank you! I had to completely delete the originals I download to my external hard drive, then re-install in the path you provided /VSTPlugins and it worked.
Happy to help!
Great video. That solves my problem!
Curious...if you set up a pre-fader Return channel for your MIC, and do the processing and mix to master from there, does it get around the solo issue?
Like, you'd even bring the fader down all the way on the actual audio input, cause you're monitoring via pre-fader send to a Return track, which are usually clear from soloing cause FX?
My OBS doesn't see the driver you said to download. I've deleted it and redownloaded the driver and OBS still can't see it. Can anyone help?
It doesnt neccisarily have to be VB-Cable. It could really be any free virtual audio driver as long as its not actually taking any inputs (or outputting any sound) It just needs to act as a dummy driver. Reastream is whats actually handling the audio.
Also, if you installed it, then go to the task bar and type 'change system sounds" click playback, and make sure cable is enabled in the list of devices
Thanks so much du7de, it worked perfectly.
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching :)
HELLO AND THANK YOU I FOLLOWED YOUR STEPS EXACTLY BUT MY OBS DOEN'T RECEIVE THE AUDIO FROM ABLETON EVEN PLUGGIN SHOWS THAT THE AUDIO IS SENDING ...THE OBS VST2 PLUGGIN STREAMING STANDALONE DOESN'T RECEIVE IT...MAYBE A SOLUTION OR WHAT IS THE CAUSE?
It's hard for me to offer a solid solution without being there to diagnose, but start with double be checking your settings on both plugins.
• Make sure the identifiers match exactly,
• Reastream on ableton is set to send audio
• Reastream on OBS is set to review
• Audio channels are set to 2 on both
• They are both enabled
After that I would double check your audio preferences in ableton, windows, and input settings In OBS.
Can you do real time mixing and adding plugins on individual tracks/channels? Cuz I tried it and it doesn't reflect in the stream , only on my monitor headphones
Assuming you've done everything correctly, everything you do in ableton should be heard/reflected in OBS.
@@ILLUMINI-MUSIC I'll try it again , been trying to figure it out for the past 5 days
it would be awesome to know how to shown the pluggins windows that i pop up in ableton - i cannt do it. I mean - im not using the screen capture im using the windows capture and - of course - those pluggins windows wont show on the steam :C
I would use screen capture. Window capture will only capture the specific window of the app (being ableton)
Which I honestly haven't played around with the idea of using window capture, so I'm not exactly sure of the exact behavior of plugin windows in ableton when it comes to window capture.
I am trying to find some good videos that can show me, how to link my Ableton Live Lite 11 and microphone to my windows pc so that I can do ASMR streaming on Twitch. I already downloaded OBS last night, I am trying to figure out how to attach the OBS file to the Ableton Live system.
You may need to elaborate a bit. Are you trying to import the file (recording) you recorded with OBS into Ableton live 11 lite?
Thankyou so much man! I am stoked about going live! This is amazing, thankyou
Happy to help! :)
How come vst pop up windows don't show up in OBS?
what about acpture the exact ableton live window intead of all the desktop?
I'm not sure if it will also show the plugin windows. Keep in mind ableton does have a full screen mode if you are worried about hiding the task bar.
I always just use screen capture and set ableton to full screen.
@@ILLUMINI-MUSIC thanks bro

This is where i didn´t receive Audio 03:23. Everything is setup like shown in your video but it doesn´t receive audio in OBS :( Any solution for this or what iam doing not right? THX Alex
One of my Replies to another comment: Make sure:
1. Both plugins are running as the same vst type (IE vst2 64bit)
2. Both plugins are enabled.
3. The plugin in (ableton) is on the master channel., Is also set to send out audio, and set to local broadcast, and audio channels are set to 2.
4. The plugin in (OBS) is set to receive audio.
5. Both identifiers match! (Can leave as default)
Your audio settings on Ableton and windows should be set to what you normally produce with. Reastream is what gets the audio into OBS, it's independent of everything else.
Let me know how it goes!
i had this working fine - but then it stopped working - i thought i lost the reastream vst so i installed it again - there were two instances of the vst on my pc so i got rid of all of them and started fresh - even got rid of OBS - but it is now not connecting between the two from ableon to obs any help with this???
It could be a number of things. But I would first start by double checking the vst settings, make sure they are set correctly as show in the video. Then from there id take a look into the audio settings on the PC itself. Make sure that is lined out how youd expect. You could experiment whether or not reasteeam is actually working by running 2 instances of your DAW, and placing reastream in both. Basically the way you would check, is once the plugins are setup in both daws. Just play a song or a long sound on the broadcasting end, then go to the receiving instance, and see if audio if coming through. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching :)
3:44 Up to this point everything works as it should. but here I don't see mhy restream vst plugin on that list :(
If you look through other comments this is most likely a install location problem.
As in restream may not be installed in the right location in order for OBS to see it
@@ILLUMINI-MUSIC yes, it was locarion problem. Solved, thanks :)
@@HammerFang what did u do ?
Restream plugin in OBS does not receive any audio from my ableton for some reason. I have it set up identically to how you do, every detail identical. but for whatever reason, restream in OBS simply doens't receive anything...
Should I be using voicemeeter instead of Cable?
I would double check that you're running the same version on both Ableton and obs. (Vst2 64bit).
It won't matter which driver you use, as long as it's not your main driver, because it's just simply acting as a dummy driver.

Your audio settings on Ableton and windows should be set to what you normally produce with. Reastream is what gets the audio into OBS, it's independent of everything else.
1 other thing to try is to close Ableton before playing back OBS recordings, as ableton can sometimes take priority over the audio depending on the settings.
Let me know how it goes!
I would add just because I was having a problem with this, I mistakenly chose in OBS "Audio Output Capture" instead of "Audio Input Capture" for my source. Once I switched it to the input capture, it was all good. They can be set up almost identically which is what made it look like I was doing it right, but wasn't receiving from Ableton.
I need help the audio comes out as if its exploding. it makes like BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR, what did I do wrong?
You may be experiencing a feedback loop. I would try toggling mute on all your inputs / outputs and see if you can track down the culprit. You may need to alter the routing as well.
what do i set as the audio device within ableton? i got everything to play through the master track but its not getting sent to OBS... my usual device is Asio4all, am i supposed to change it to something else?
It shouldn't really matter what your audio settings are in the ableton preferences. Reastream is what is sending the audio from ableton to obs. The native ableton settings have nothing to do with it. May sure reastream is set on your master channel in Ableton, and has all the settings I mention in the video. And the ensure reastream has also been setup to receive audio inside obs.
Hey man great video; unfortunately my reaplugs (and all VST) are in an external drive so OBS won't pick it up in the drop down. I installed an additional copy of reaplugs in the C:/ folder that OBS finds VST's and it recognized it; however, the audio isn't linking since I believe it's because my Ableton is using my F:/ reaplugs and OBS a separate reaplugs from C:/. Any idea how to work around this? Cheers
I would try installing the reaplugs into one of abletons recommend folders on your machine. This link will bring you to a page that lists the file paths that ableton uses natively on your main drive.

I don't actually monitor through OBS in this video. You monitor through ableton because OBS creates additional undesired lag. Watch through the video carefully once more, and if that doesn't fix things, hit me back once more and we can schedule a zoom chat to get it working.

Is there any specific settings you're using on your PC to avoid latency issues? Or is it simply the restream plugin that avoids a lot of those problems? Thanks for the video, this was super helpful!
You will want to monitor everything through ableton, and not obs. As far as latency in ableton goes, you will want to play with your audio settings to find a good compromise between latency and CPU load. Trying to achieve this without the reastream plugin, or an interface that has loopback built in will be very difficult. I've made alot of attempts with no avail, altho I heard of some Mac users using an app called sound flower.

I have been searching this topic for 2 weeks now and was about to throw my laptop off my balcony!! Thank you so much for this video (and for saving my sanity!) ! Have you figured out what causes the mic to cut out when you solo an instrument?
I'm happy I could help! ☺️ The reason it cuts out is because when you solo an track, it only sends the soloed tracks audio out. All others are muted (including the track your sending you're vocals through). To avoid this, you can set up a microphone input directly inside OBS. Meaning you will have 2 inputs, one for ableton using the reastream plugin, and another acting simply as a mic input. It's a bit more setup, but it does work.
