- [Software Linked Below!] This is a tutorial video on how to use various plugins and drivers with OBS so that you can send audio from your music applications using ASIO drivers in Windows, things like Cubase, Digital Performer, Ableton, Renoise, or in this case, Reaper, out into the internet on streaming platforms like Twitch and UA-cam. Further, we can use OBS's own functionality and additional plugins to make it function like a virtual webcam, having it effectively mix both its audio and video to become inputs into telephony software like Skype, Zoom, Slack, Discord, and other applications.
Software used:
OBS: obsproject.com/
Reaper: reaper.fm/
ReaStream w/ ReaPlugs VST FX Suite: www.reaper.fm/...
VB-CABLE Virtual Audio Device: www.vb-audio.c...
OBS-VirtualCam 2.0.4: obsproject.com...
I've looked over about 15 videos for this solution. Yours is the first to work. Thank you.
I did not please help me I can give teamviewer. please guys ı use to cubase
@Uncinematographable Screenshot Cinema There's got to be a reason why traffic is not reaching you. No good keywords? bad thumbnails?
Same here, thank you! :D
Same here, except I didn't try his yet, but it was the best I've seen so far. Hopefully it works now
This might be the single most important video for music streamers
If this doesn't work, check your sample rates! When I tried this, my session was in 44.1 and OBS was trying to output 48kHz. The end results was that it didn't pick anything up. A foolish error on my part, but I felt that I'd share it.
A huge thank you to Mr Diamante for taking the time to do this. It has surely helped thousands already.
@@AvengeXKing Have you been able to figure this out yet?
@@bigtimebyallan Still having trouble with this myself
@The Wind Is Blowing Is something like this what might help

For anyone struggling: be sure to place the VST on your MASTER BUS. I was trying to do this for a solo live performance and spent over an hour trying to get it to work while having it active on a solo audio/recording track. Hope this prevents someone from doing what I did.
Thank you Vincent for making this video.
Sorry to hear that, hope the performance turned out ok!
I tried to do this a year ago and failed. I bet that was my problem.
Give this man a medal!! I'm finally able to get the sound out from my DAW into OBS without any latency or soundcrackle. It took 5 minutes and it works... it WORKS!! I don't know how many videos and tutorials I've been going through, but to no avail. From the bottom of my heart; thank you!
It actually works for me when I choos "audio output capture". It records my loopback! Thank you so much for this! Your a lifesaver, man!!!!
I've just spent 4 hours trying to get around the issue that happened at 5:00. Uninstalled and reinstalled everything, then there was no plugins being detected, then Reaper was acting up which is unusual for me. Untold amounts of hair ripped out because I didn't even consider you're work around using the input and the gain down. You have saved me so much time, and now rather than stream I think I should just go to bed. Thank you for the video.
THIS MAN IS A GOD!!!! It's been at least 20 hours over multiple weeks of trying to record ableton sound & screencapture & vocals with quality audio. This video finally showed me the light. Thank you Vincent Diamante, you are a true legend.
Spent the last 2 days searching for a way to send my audio from my DAW to discord. This was the guide that helped me out. If anyone ever asks how to set this up I'm sending them straight here. Thank you so much!
Thanks a lot for this really clear tutorial! If anyone is still having problems, add a media source, load a silent wav. track in there, loop it. Then add the reastream plug-in on that media source
Dude, thank you! As expressed by other people, this was the first video that made it work for me. No one was explaining that I needed to re-install the Reaper plugins at a specific file location for OBS to find them. I’m so used to being able to dictate this file location for Reaper to find them, but couldn’t figure out where OBS expected these files to be.
I rarely put comment on UA-cam, but like others, after dozens of video which wasn't working, I used your video to stream Bias FX as a VST directly in OBS, then on Discord to share with my friends. Thanks you so much ! Really clean explanations, and truely working.
This has been an actual game changer teaching zoom music lessons during the pandemic and beyond. Thank you!
Good grief, the amount of time I have spent trying to get this working in an easy way.... and here is the answer! Before this, I was using the ASIO plugin in OBS, but had to connect cables on the back of my 6i6 from outputs 3 and 4 into inputs 3 and 4 and change the mix in Cubase to send to 3 and 4 as well as regular 1 and 2 stereo, which was a pain (and also made Cubase have some pops). Now, bingo, just reastream in Cubase stereo master and same in OBS, and it works with no cables or fuss! Never found this during repeated searches, but it popped up randomly, and thank goodness it did :) Thank you!
Thanks so much!! Bit of advice for people don't stop the video halfway through and wonder why its not working for you, there are a few fixes involved. Cheers Vincent!!
By far the clearest, most concise and most comprehensive video on the topic
Dude, I'm so glad this popped up in my feed. Eternally grateful for this.
I found your video very helpful, thank you. I did find the section between 4:37-6:24 confused the issue. I think it would suffice to say you want to choose audio INPUT capture in OBS Studio. Regardless, once I got over my confusion it all made sense and I was able to configure everything properly. FYI, my signal path is PreSonus Studio One 4.6 --> OBS Studio --> Zoom
i can't do it, idk whats happens when i choose outpute capture i get sound of this youtube and when try input capture audio i get nothig, any idea? thanks
You went the extra step of other tutorials with the audio output vs input distinction. That was the step that solved my frustrations. Thank you!
I've been trying to solve this problem for a good year. people would mention using restream but no one explained all the caveats as clearly as you have. I'm going to share this vid with everyone I know in music production
Another comment to let you know how helpful this video was. Like many others, I spent all night searching for solutions that didn't work and yours worked on the first try with no hassle. THANK YOU.
Mind Blown at 2:57! Absolutely correct. As soon as I changed my Restream VST Plugin to that directory. Done! Mad props brother. I spent like half a day searching forums until I found a link to you. So much time trying to figure out why OBS was not seeing my plugin correctly. DAW (Waveform Free) was fine, no problems but dang OBS. Well done again
Simply the BEST!!! I have a FocusRite Scarlett 2i2 Gen3 that USBs to 2 Audio channels in Windows 10. However, Microsoft Teams only accepts one channel (USB1 audio) only. I hit MONO in OBS and used Vincent's method to install BOTH plugins and as long as I run OBS I can now have 2 channels mixed to that one audio channel in Teams. Great workaround!
This is the BEST video online when It comes to setting up live streams for music and private lessons and stuff like that! THANK YOU SO MUCH
I did not please help me I can give teamviewer. please guys ı use to cubase
This is absolutely the best video on this topic 100%
This was the missing puzzle piece that it took to get things working. Thank you.
Awesome. Awesome AWESOME !! Finally I got this problem solved..... The gain filter suggestion did the trick for me. The problem I had was this.... I have an Motu M4 interface that has 4 inputs. I don't know what the problem is but all the inputs show up in reaper but for some unknown reason in OBS I only see input 1&2.... My guitar is setup in Reaper (Input 1) and my Condenser mic is setup in OBS (Input 2) I still have to figure out why this occurs but for now I choose my unused webcam microphone as an audio input capure for my DAW in combination with 2 gain filters set to 0 . Otherwise I get some spillover from the webcam mic and then a slight echo occurs in my DAW signal. The only thing I have to do is mute my condenser in OBS when I'm playing. When I start to talk I unmute the microphone. The vitual webcam works perfectly in zoom. Thanks man !
Dude I have been trying send audio to OBS months ago and I couldn't get it to work. Now after some fiddling I even got it to work for Skype! For anyone who has a problem with not receiving audio in OBS. Check everything (windows reaper, obs) if they have the same settings as in bitrates, samplerates and channels. That fixed it for me. In windows it was set to a 8 channel while I only have 2 channels :-)
Been trying to get this to work on and off for months and just gave up. A friend was helping me over Discord and found this video and I was FINALLY able to get it to work. You sir are amazing!!
The "Gain" before the Reastream instance saved my life. Thank you!
I have spent ages trying to find a way to stream Studio One to my friends in discord, and finally one random Reddit thread sent me here, where I found my solution
Thank you for actually being able to explain why OBS NEVER is able to read my vsts. That is nippy af. The reason I've moved vsts from the default is because my laptop C drive has absolutely no space in it.
Excellent! For anyone having sound issues with the VBCable into Discord, you might need to disable noise and echo cancellation into the bottom of audio settings.
After countless videos watched without success, yours was simple, straight to the point and explained everything needed in the process. Thank you for solving my headache man, you are the best
after trying to mess around with the voicemeeter stuff this has been the absolute best way for me to get everything working in OBS thank you SOOOOO much for this
I originally posted a video on the DAW to OBS with ReaStream method quite some time ago but without any narration or description of the video, but thanks for taking this a step further and making it more accessible!
If we could only get Windows Device Drivers for inputs/outputs which accepted a ReaStream source as input/outputs that would be Grrrreaat. This would let us just route the output or input bus from our DAW directly through to Windows and make it practically universal, without requiring keeping OBS running to get the audio to the devices.
A perfect world would represent VB Audio Cable supporting ReaStream feeds natively without having to use OBS to bridge the gap.
I'm gonna just throw this on top of the pile. THANK GOD FOR THIS MAN! I just about stopped making videos becuase i couldnt get OBS figured out. You deserve so much more credit and attention on youtube. In all truth you have saved my teeny tiny channel. Thank you so SO much!
Man you have no idea how long it took me to find someone like your self explained it
THANK YOU! Reaper is my DAW and the solution has been staring at me in the face this whole time haha.
As many other people, I was struggling too to get audio from Reaper to OBS in a good way, your tutorial was simply perfect. The need of selecting unused device as input in OBS was what created problems, the gain trick...well, did the trick! Really thankful for your help, also now I'm curious to hear your 114 (!!!!!!) tracks project :) My bands can now stream live from reharsal room in perfect quality, synced with video, with zero effort. Amazing man, keep it up!
Dood, you are my fucking life saver!!!🙏🙏🙏
I spend several days on how to stream DAW without metronome. Now I put Reastream on some group bus, where I route the desired audio to and made a separate track for the metronome. This is by far the easiest and best method. I tried Voxengo with Jbridge... latency was horrible.
Thank you so much man! Thanks to you my band is ready for the first online gig!
Stay healthy and save in these difficult times.
Dude i never commented a youtube video ! YOU SAFED MY LIFE. thank you
Wooo! You really saved me here dude! The install path for the reastream plugin was the solution, Finally :)
Let me join others is saying this was the most coherent treatment of this complicated subject that I've found on the internet.... thank you for making it so understandable!
Brilliant- came highly recommended by a friend who was at the end of his tether trying to find instruction for this. Bravo!
Finally tks so much. A tip for those having problemas with the vst2 instalación, i had to install it twice one in the x32 for obs to be able to find it, and one in x64 for ableton.
Great video, but... I use Reaper to create backing tracks for bass and drums and then record my grand piano which is mic'd with 2 Rode mics going to a Behringer audio interface. With ASIO in Reaper. That works great for recording, zero latency. Problem is, ASIO cannot be used to send a signal to OBS, it only allows for Behringer 3/4 out which sends the signal back to the interface where I can monitor with the headphones. So, you have to use a different audio setup in Reaper to use VB Audio Cable. But, if I do that and I try to perform with that backing track live in a podcast situation on Streamyard for example, it works, but the latency is now at least 1/4 sec. so, I hear the Grand piano 1/4 sec after I hit a note. And it's also out of sync with the backing track. What I think I need to do is create a monitor mix with the bass drums and piano before the signal reaches the audio interface. But I don't know what gear I need to do that. Because the backing track is in Reaper on the computer. How do I play along with that, with zero latency, and get some reverb for the piano in the headphone for doing live performance? No one seems to have a video about this and I believe it's likely a common problem. I've tried a million ways to compensate for the latency but no luck. I was a podcat guest this morning and could only use the piano, not backing tracks. I simply monitor the piano in the pre-amp before the signal is sent to reaper or obs. Crazy stuff, can you help me?
THANK YOU! I've fought with terrible latency and other apps like voicemeeter for so long and kept getting next to no good results. Can't believe a reaper plugin was the answer all along :D this is amazing.
Dude, THANKS A LOT! That trick with Gain is masterpiece, this is the only way I can stream Cubase sessions with live records of guitar.
hey mate, can you help me with this? i'm trying to do it with cubase but i never recieve sound from obs part.
you are an absolute ROCKSTAR, thank you so much for this video! I've tried all kinds of ASIO routing and plugins, but your method is the only one that works. thank you good sir!!
Ah I was having such a tough time - I did a video a few weeks ago where 'Audio Output Capture" worked great to record output from my DAW but since then has stopped (as your video shows). Couldn't figure out how to get up and running but this video cracked the code - 'Gain' before the Reastream filter in OBS works perfectly! Thanks :)
How on EARTH can I thank you?? Thanks so much for sharing. You've solved a myriad of issues for me.
I did not please help me I can give teamviewer. please guys ı use to cubase
@ one thing i just found is your firewall can sometimes block the input..so you have to disable either the public network or the private network..then you'll sstart seeing signal. very strange.
After searching and watching about 5 videos I finally found you and could do it without problems, thank you!
Worked very well with an Ammoon AGM04 audio interface, using Channel 1 as microphone (balanced to LEFT) and Channel 2 as guitar input (balanced to Right), with Record Source on Dry CH1-2.
I use Reaper for mic processing while playing games in Discord with mates. I've been using the Voxengo recorder for ages but I'm so sick of the lag that comes with it so have been looking for a better way of doing it. This method worked perfectly. Thanks a lot mate!
People like you are the real MVP's of the internet, thanks so much for this informative video!
I usually don't leave comments, but man... you made an awesome job, you helped me so much, thank you! Subsribed
This has to be the best video I've seen about this topic. Thank you!
Finally, someone with an accent I can understand.
same here. i've seen a few other videos on this and yours was the one that actually worked. thanks
Thanks a lot Vincent. Just like a lot of people here, I searched for a very long time. Your video just answered, very shortly, all my questions.
Searching and searching then I find your video. U da man!
i just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. have been trying to ages to find such a great way of streaming daw audio to zoom and other services. every other solution goes around several corners, this is the best one so far! thank you!
WTF! I have just installed this ReaStreamer into another VST plugins folder, and now I know why it didn't working! Thanks a lot! The folder that you install the plugins is very important to OBS! Thanks a lot! Save-me! Thanks!
Same here. I had tried Voicemeeter, but I use Pro Tools with a UAD Apollo interface which has its own DSP software and there was too much conflict between Pro Tools and Voicemeeter for the interface. Interestingly, I learned about the VST solution from another video that was using Voxengo Recorder as the plugin. There was an added process of converting the 32bit Voxengo plugin to 64bit using JBridge. That seemed to work, but In Pro Tools you have to "wrap" a non AAX plugin with a DDMF Metaplugin and I couldn't get the Metaplugin to recognize Voxengo.
I happen to also use Reaper for quick recordings and had no trouble with the ReaStream plugin. I'm using vMIX as the broadcast platform rather than OBS and all that was necessary was to load Metaplugin into the Master audio track in vMIX.
I can't thank you enough as I have been struggling all weekend to make this work!
I enjoyed every second of your post. Please make more videos about your setup, your servers and etc. I'm looking forward to your new posts.
Hey Vincent, I just wanted to add my thanks. using your tutorial I was able to get Reaper streaming in Zoom perfectly. Cheers!
Thank you for saving my life! I was searching for this solution for a long time!
bro i've searched a long time for that nice tutorial, thx
Just wanted to leave you a comment and say we got out live stream running because of your video! Many thanks!
I've been looking everywhere for this. My friends and I enjoy doing karaoke or playing music while in our Discord chat and I've been dying to get them to be able to hear my guitar and better reverb for vocals. Going to try this later when they are on to see if it works. If it does then you are a real life saver man. I use both reaper and recently got Ableton.
Bravo, bravo, bravo, clearly explained, it worked for me first attempt, many thanks to you Vincent Diamante.
Thank you a thousand times! I was struggling trying to set this up using ASIO and my card's virtual mixer but that turned into a mess as ASIO inputs were overtaken at times either by DAW or by OBS. Your scheme worked like a charm!
Thanks for this concise video, it has been working great! But now I have an issue --- Zoom cannot recognize VB-CABLE as the input/microphone, may I know what may I have done wrong?
This is the clearest instructions on such topics. Seriously you did a great job. Thank you. Cheers
Gonna have to try this... Been doing battle with trying to collab with my co-producer and it's been a nightmare not being able to record live because in order to stream my daw I had to switch from interface to windows audio.
Ive tried 3 options and this one really works!! Thanks a lot!! I can finally make some music tutorials without mixing so many stuff
That Reaper plugin helped so much, thank you, I've watched all other kinds of videos that were just confusing and didn't seem to look like what I was looking for, but this was exactly what I was trying to find, and it even showed an extra thing (the route to mic thing).
Thank you a thousand times for explaining about setting it up as an input. This was driving me absolutely crazy!
thanks so much Vincent, this is fantastic ! exactly what i needed, not only for discord/teams (virtual jam sessions with friends) but also i can easier do those '1 take' self recordings of myself in OBS just for quickly sharing some progress with my guitar teacher - was perfect to capture my audio from reaper (neural dsp plugins), backing track playing, and my headset microphone at same time. before this i was recording bunch of separate audio tracks and manually mixing them together, it was such a chore.
This video solved my latency problem after hours of frustration!!! Thanks so much, Vincent!
Amazing. So well paced, covered all the steps, details and the pitfalls perfectly. I never would have figured this out. Thank you so much!
Vincent, you've been a massive help to me in this process. incredibly to the point, incredibly accurate. thank you.
I have been doing this for 10 years already but with other apps and capturecards and lately mixers and camera swichers like the new atem mini. So its pretty easy just take the output from your soundcard and hook it up to your capturecard and away you go. If your Daw machine is on the lesser side you might need one extra for the encoding.
If I need screencapping or play back video I use CamTwist but for the encoding always FMLE which is a more stable combo than OBS which half of the times wont even see my cams.
Thank you so much for this. ReaStream was what I've needed all day and this video helped me finally fixed the issues I was having! You're a legend!
This helped massively man, thank you! Had to go through different hoops, and this worked for me the best.
Really appreciated it. After trying a lot of audio re-routing ways, this is the solution that works for me with Ableton Live. Thank you.
Hi, I couldn't get SL-OBS to pick up the audio. I have "Restream-Standalone" added to my master track in Ableton but it's not outputting. Any Advice.
You, Sir, Are an Absolute LEGEND!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!! I have tried soooo many other solutions that were never as good as this...
My goodness, what a helpful video!!! Thank you so much. I was finally able to set this up.
this has actually solved every issue i was having getting set up! thank you dude!
Finally!!! You've solved a prob I've had for about a year. Will be sharing this method.
This video saved me multiple times now
Beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing this :D
I had a low latency monitoring feature selected with my focusrite, and that actually prevented the reastream plug-in from working. After turning off the low latency monitoring, it worked!
Thank you very much, you solved my problem, I had already given up but I tried again and with more desire. since nobody teaches right in portuguese i looked for videos in english even without understanding much but following the steps.
Thank you very much, you contributed to my development in music production.
Your solution is the only one that worked!! Thanks so much!! I have a minor problem though - Cubase is now recording audio but if i'm recording my mic at the same time it doesn't get recorded. OBS recognises the signal, and it records mic on its' own but not together with Cubase! What can I do? (btw, I haven't downloaded the virtual cable software, ReaStream worked!)
many non-working solutions later, this one worked! Thank you so much!
MAN THANKS i have been searching for ages
Man I cannot thank you enough for making this video. It was 100% exactly what I needed and I ran into no issues with the setup (mostly). Thank you thank you thank you
I understood every detail and enjoyed your flow of talking, moreover my problem is now solved. Thanks alot!
Works like a charm.
Found this since the usual voxengorecorder-solution that the whole Internet threw at me didn't work on my 64-bit S1. Thanks a lot. Saved me some money :)
