Bruh. This was great man. I'm an audio engineer and this was very helpful. If you ever decide to update this, you can now use VSTs which is a game changer. I replaced the stock OBS EQ with a plugin I like. I also added a VST clipper and compressor in the chain. Got everything clear and loud. Your tip on how bad the built in metering is was SPOT ON. Good shit.

@PC-hp6gz 2 жыл бұрын

Nice one Beers and Beats. I didn't have to use the gain plugin but found your recognition of the misleading eq colouring useful to nudge the volume safely up into the deep red zone of OBS a little more than I had been doing. I use a limiter in case I ever went beyond a certain threshold and spotted that is was capped a couple of DB below the zero mark. Adjusted that to now cap a little below 0db. Thanks for that! I typed the above just before you added the limiter ha ha...great job sir! Additional note. If you have VST's because you also run a DAW, OBS supports those too so you are not 'limited' to the stock limiter.

really appreciate the video it has helped a lot. Im not streaming but just trying to have a mix and record video and audio and your video has really pointed me in the right direction for the audio, thanks again. I have used some other tips from other utubers for the video but the problem I have now is that the test recordings I have done the files are huge Ie. 35mins is over 10 gig in an MP4 recording. I assume its the video settings and just wondered if you have any pointers on how to make it smaller? maybe you already have a video on this but I wasnt able to find it. Thanks again and hope to hear from you soon cheers

This video is 🔥🔥🔥 can't wait to try these with my settings. I see you are using an audio interface here( I use focusrite 4i4) but I have seen another video of yours where you said you can use your mixer as a sound card conected via USB. Is the sound quality not better when it comes directly from the mixer or shall I stick to focusrite? I have 900nxs2.

hey mate, many thanks for the interesting video. But what I'm wondering is, if I go into the interface with only one XLR cable, i.e. mono, and then move the slider in the OBS sound settings and click on "mono", is it even RIGHT stereo what comes out? isn't that rather a kind of "fake" stereo? or am i completely on the wrong track ? Hahaha....Cheers

@sokolbasedjs7567 Жыл бұрын

I am still puzzled regarding the bitrate the soundcards (in your case BEHRINGER UMC404HD) are processing with which is in 99% cases 192 kbps. Aren't you worried about the audio quality loss or I am misinterpreting it for sth else? What about that mono stream thing? Why did you chose the mono, is it not possible to connect the mains to separate channels (1 and 2)?? Have you ever recognised the interference/distortion in some cases? We are trying locating the problem. Hopefully when we replace the sound card for better one we may get rid of the things. FYI this is first review of how-to analog stream in the internet. We have been fidling analog streaming (with three decks and DJM600) few years already and its rocky path, but I think we finally got the sound we like in the studio and trying to get the best setup for the digital streams. Cheers for the review. You're the legend ;-) #vinyljunkies

@BeersAndBeatsPDX Жыл бұрын

Yo! Thanks for watching! With the bitrate, 192kbps, I let the commuter handle all that. As long as the sample rate from your interface matches the samplev rate of your input program you'll be good. I chose mono because it's less cables which in turn is less clutter. You can do stereo if you want I just didn't want to deal with multiple cables and setting multiple inputs. Most club setups are mono anyway so you're keeping in line with industry standard. The only problem with mono is that any pan effects will become volume swells. Other than that it was all about using 1 less cable. I haven't noticed any significant interference or distortion and my setup is a mess of audio and power cables intertwined. I have noticed some very low buzz from the turntables but that I believe that's specifically a turntable issue.

Hey bro, Great video! I'm having the same problem with low input from my device. Even when I'm boosting the volume from my DJ desk, the volume gets ducked (On -17) like there is some kind of build-in limiter on OBS input. Does it happen to you too? Cause in my sound card (Prism Sound - Lyra2) all good! The only way to gain this input is with gain filter?

@BeersAndBeatsPDX 5 ай бұрын

This used to happen to me years ago. OBS added a built in limiter to my audio channel. I haven't seen this happen in years though. I would check the software for your interface. For example, I use my DJM's built in sound card and the software has an automatic -5db attenuation. I noticed that different brands have signal levels represented (lights/numbers) differently and what's 0db on one piece of gear isn't 0db on a another. It could be as simple as just adding a gain filter and boosting it a bit.

@tayri_ 5 ай бұрын

@@BeersAndBeatsPDX It's weird, Cause I'm using Pioneer XZ and sending it to my Sound Card (Prism Sound Lyra 2 - Looking good here) and when it comes to the OBS it just limiting the signal no matter what I do in my XZ or in the Sound card. Needless to say, There is no filter on the OBS input. SO I don't understand what is going on here! There is no youtube video about this issue - Maybe it's a Bug? But I open new scene, Restart my PC. Did everything! I can always filter it with gain and add more volume - It just driving me crazy that I can't control this volume from my XZ !
