Hey y'all especially @Universal Audio - While this setup is baller for streaming, if you shoot your room, you might get double output on the frequency sweep and it will null out in a lot of places and give you a heart attack. Just be sure if you shoot your room that you change the setup config to no input on 1 and 2. I found this out the hard way yesterday but its all good now!

@QuiethouseRecording

Жыл бұрын

Heres something I wrote about the situation - Yesterday I was doing frequency sweeps because I just acquired a new pair of headphones and I was curious about how they sounded. I tested three pairs of headphones just to hear the difference and for the most part, I was pleased with my semi unscientific test. I was thinking it’s been a while since I’ve shot my room. usually do it every 3 to 6 months, just real quick usually with Sonarworks/SoundID. Oh, but this time because I wanted a slower sweep I opened up Ableton Live and used the tone generation function And use the tone generation function. to do a slow upward sweep from 20hz. From about 30hz to 100hz everything sounded fine but as soon as I hit 130 hz - COMPLETE SILENCE. A confused look across my face at what I was hearing as I wildly moved my head around to see why the null I was hearing was so…PERFECT. I continued the upward sweep past 200, 400, 600, 1k, 3k, 6k, etc. Every few jumps in frequency I would hear a drop out though not as significant as in the low end. Now if you are familiar with acoustic issues in mix rooms, you’ll know that low end is one of the hardest things to get right. In fact many rooms I’ve personally been in that are considered the yardstick for professionals have issues that are solved with acoustic treatment or DSP. A perfect room requires many trade offs but here I am thinking what the hell is going on with my low end? I’ve never had any issues with low end except for a slight dip at 100hz that has been diagnosed, treated, and cured for the last 8 years. My room was professionally designed and built - it should not have these issues. I mean I was thinking all this catastrophic stuff about the work I’ve done over the last few months, I never heard ANYTHING wrong even in the reference material I use to keep my ears fresh. So after about 2 minutes of troubleshooting, I found the issue: It was my new audio routing I had just configured a few days ago to facilitate a different way of making videos to post on social media. This required me to route the input channels 1 and 2 to my MONITOR L and R and create two virtual stereo channels for DAW Audio and System Audio. Since my output was coming out of both in Live and there was a slight latency between the two channels - it created a lot of problems in the sweep. Muting Daw Audio solved the issue but I’ve made a setup now that is strictly for shooting the room so I know no matter what I am using to do sweeps that I am getting one pure tone. I hope this saves someone a lot of hassle.

You saved my life on this one

Thank you for this information! This has worked for me in the past for OBS/Logic Pro X. But I want to use the same setup in OBS and Discord for a podcast to use my UAD plugins.

I would love to figure out how to make this work. 😊

Thanks for the great video!. Is there any drawbacks or problems when not using OBS if I leave Inputs 1 and 2 permanently assiged to A Mon L & A Mon R ??? Can this be my default console or only be set like this when using OBS?

Thx so much!!! How do I get zoom audio to route through a virtual channel? The same way as in this demonstration?

will this affect recording in protools at all off of stream? like if I do this to fix audio for a livestream, and then another day want to record a song in protools, will I have to readjust everything or will it still work after changing these settings?

Thanks for this tutorial, it's really helpful. I'm trying to figure out how to stream Ableton sessions where I create tracks from scratch and live loop. I'm guessing there's no way to use this routing to share DAW audio whilst using it to record audio in the DAW itself? For example, when I route Console this way and try to record anything in Ableton, the record enabled channels are showing the system output, so I can't record anything normally. I suppose a workaround would be to use Loopback - however, I have the old version of Loopback (v1.2.1), and have experienced varying amounts of latency in OBS, meaning audio goes in and out of sync. Is this issue easier to deal with in the newer version?

Hi! First... I greatly appreciate the depth that UAD goes into supporting their users. Kudos to you and all the teams that go into that. Here's my issue... I'm having a really hard time figuring out Apollo console and how to live stream 8+ tracks (I have an x16 with 1073px preamps) into OBS. Maybe OBS isn't the right answer here. It's been inconsistent at best with tests, and fairly not considering my local IPS service. Maybe this deserves more depth/attention in a future office hours? I think I understand how to send Luna to Virtual Tracks for an output, but it falls apart once it goes out of OBS. Maybe it's an OBS issue... maybe it's and ISP issue... but I'd like to know your take on it. This particular video has a LOT of viewers... maybe we're all struggling with the same issue? Thanks in advance for any response... again, I love this channel and have learned so much from it.

Жыл бұрын

@@UniversalAudio Hi thanks for the quick reply. Apologies in advance for the long response here :). To start, I have an awesome Apollo x16 and use Luna as my DAW. I don't intent to send multitracks to OBS... just one live, stereo virtual audio feed from Luna. What I intend to do is have a virtual output from Console/Luna (while recording with some processing within Console and/or Luna) into OBS, and then from OBS to Facebook Live. So I would use Console/Luna to feed one stereo virtual audio signal OBS. I thought I setup the virtual channel correctly... with the DAW (Luna) to virtual 1&2, and computer audio to virtual 3&4. I routed (via sends) the tracks to virtual 1&2 in Luna, and muted the main output in Luna. I also muted the computer audio output in console. So, I thought OBS was getting a single, live stereo feed from the Luna DAW. I had ARM mode on (which only needed to be compensated with 150 mili seconds of delay with the video feed in OBS), but in turning it off and on while trouble shooting... I think I got a bit confused with the routing changes from turning ARM mode off. Also tried trouble shooting by turning console tracking mode on and off. I think in my trouble shooting, I just made things worse. Also, I had to recreate the Monitor L and R sends on channels 1 & 2 whenever I restarted my computer. The results were inconsistent, and I cant' really explain them. I think I solved the "strange, ongoing echo loop" by feeding a virtual channel to OBS. It seemed to all work great in one OBS to FB live test. Then in another test, the audio was intermittent, and then for some reason, OBS didn't see the audio feed. Again, I do blame my blind attempt at trouble shooting settings, routing, etc. I probably mucked things up. I did try starting from scratch several times, but I was not getting good results. So after watching many, many videos and failed attempts, I thought I'd reach out here. I think I'm not totally understanding the virtual and main routing with software downstream such as OBS and it's feeds further downstream (in my case, Facebook Live). I had inconsistent tests with OBS and FB... I'm wondering if there are some good examples of use cases of how to best connect with software and services when using console/Luna as a live mixer and recorder. Thanks again for reading this. I really enjoy using LUNA for tracking and mixing - it's such an incredible product. As someone who's spent a lot of time in studios, it brings me back to my happy place and makes me feel great about making music.
