Make Your Live Stream Sound Professional with OBS studio Sidechain Ducking
Balancing your Microphone with all your other Live stream audio sources in OBS Studio can be an absolute nightmare sometimes..
As we all know, good audio is more important than video quality.
Especially when it comes to twitch streams, as a lot of people lurk or have your content on in the background while they're doing other things...
So... if you want to balance your audio so its enjoyable to listen to for a long time, you should try and add in some sidechain compression and audio ducking filters to your music and game inputs.
That way you're audio wont be too loud, competing with each other and everything will be heard clearly by your audience...
and ultimately your live stream will sound more professional

I dont know why it didnt work with other videos I have watched, but this is easy and it worked with no issues.

Hell yeah!! Either way, I'm glad you managed to get it working this time 🔥

I think the reason that it doesn't get used more, is because of things like Sound Alerts, and the Twitch Integrated Throwing System needing to play sounds. Ducking is great when you're just talking into the mic, but for the additional audience interaction stuff, you'd have to set up a new Ducking filter for each one in whichever audio source(s) you wish to lower. Which is why most people just limit their game audio in a more permanent fashion. I do like this method though, in fact I love it, and with some tweaking/prep I'll be using it from now on. Once again, thanks for the awesome advice.

I love the detailed explanations for attack release and threshold. That helps so much with everything. Not just this one aspect.

@ajsarsfield Жыл бұрын

So many people just tell you WHAT to set them as and never Why... So I figured I'd at least include what the setting does so you can tweak it yourself if you need to! Thanks for checking out the video though.. I hope it helped 🔥

@ajsarsfield definitely helped just got done setting it up and going to test it out in stream. I do have one more question. Can I add a second compressor/ducking filter to my desktop audio for when I stream with other streamers so when they talk the gameplay/music gets softer as well? Or will that conflict with my primary one?

@ajsarsfield Жыл бұрын

@kazunage I think it should work..🤔 as long as they're on a different audio channel and aren't coming through the desktop.. I'm not sure what would happen if you both spoke at the same time though 😅 I'd set it up and test it out.. you can always switch off the filter if it does something weird 🤭

I REALLY!! Appreciate that 💕 Tiktok hasn't been my friend lately, 🤭 I've had a lot of people say they don't see my stuff as much any more, so it's been a bit frustrating.. But we keep posting and hopefully helping encourage and improve people who do get to see my content 🥰

Thank You So Much For All You Video Do You Also Thing That I Could Add Limiter Filter in there also as the game sometime pop in the red of the Audio when Gaming

@ajsarsfield 10 ай бұрын

Of course you can!! I often add limiters to my desktop or game audio just incase it does suddenly get loud when I'm not talking.. .. I'd personally set a limiter a bit lower than my Vocal limiter So like -10db or so.. but obviously feel free to play around with that to YOUR taste.

I personally prefer to EQ out the mid range of music and other sound sources, the audio ducking doesn't sound that natural to me. But that's just me and my musician brain lmao, great tutorial!

@ajsarsfield Жыл бұрын

Thats not a bad way to do it as well..🔥 Depends on what you're listening to or watching at the time I do that sometimes when I edit videos actually! Just So that music doesn't clash with my voice!

Hello, thanks for the video! I followed you step by step and it does look like my computer sound is ducking but I can't hear it ducking from my speakers. Am I missing something? Thank you

This seems really stupid but how do you separate your broadcast stream mix and chat mic using the goxlr?

@ajsarsfield Ай бұрын

Oh! - Thats an easy one... In the GoXLR routing table you just uncheck the microphone from the broadcast mix, and then in OBS you have 1 audio input as the broadcast mix and a 2nd input as the GoXLR microphone Then you can filter them separately (hope that makes sense)

@AtomicYin Ай бұрын

@ajsarsfield You have no idea how long it has taken me to sort this out thank you! Obviously I can still change the audio with the actual mixer, so if I audio duck the broardcast, that means that my game, music will all be ducked the same is that, right? If that makes sense. If I wanted to duck the music and gameplay separately, would I have to disable them in the mounting table and make another input capture within obs?

@ajsarsfield Ай бұрын

@AtomicYin Correct! Anything you need to do seperately, you'd remove from the table and add to OBS Individually. Most of the time I wanted my game/music to be quiter when I spoke so I just left it all in the broadcast mix BUT I know some people want to do different levels for different inputs

@AtomicYin Ай бұрын

@ajsarsfield Hm I disabled the music tab in the rounting table, and it's not appearing as an audio input device inside obs. I'm with you, I feel like audio ducking the music for just chatting is perfect but for game audio I can control that fine with the slider.

This literally did nothing when I followed step by step. Could using a headset be effecting this? Zero change in a before and after as if I never touched a single setting.
