Thank heaven for something calm, straightforward and helpful

Thank you so much for mentioning needing to press the 48v button if you're using a condenser mic! I was trying to figure out for about 39 minutes why I couldn't get OBS to pick up any sound thru my mic...all I needed to do was press that button. Saved me a lot of time!

This was super helpful! I had a youtuber tell me my mics on my kit were muted friday night. I mustve had a setting turned off. So I restarted watching this video. It worked! I'm a new music producer learning how to use my interface! Explained really well thank you!

If you don't have one of our interfaces with a loopback feature, this can be a tricky task, but there are ways to make it work. You can play the audio from a device like a phone or a tablet by connecting an aux chord to one of the inputs via a 3.5mm to 1/4 inch TRS cable. Or you can use a third-party internal audio routing program such as Soundflower to send route audio from Logic to the inputs in OBS. Please let us know if this helps or if you have additional questions.

Thank U.

So, we can't set up two different tracks on OBS? The signal from the focusrite is a mono signal, with the two channels? I have two microfones, how to set-up? Thanks a lot!

my issue is.... getting this setup.... but... having the dry of the guitar and mic muted then having the Daw of my choice run fx for my guitar and mic then out put it to OBS or other apps on my computer. have not found a way to make this work properly for the 18i8 3rd gen. I want to use zoom, xbox companion for party chat, twitch, facebook live... steam, discord.. basically be able to use my guitar fx through anything and everything as well as my mic so I can do a legit Studio Quality recording.

how can we transfer the amplitube sound to obs

Hiya! I have a Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 and I'm trying to hook up my stereo keyboard (L and R source or headphone jack as an alternative option) that is currently paired to inputs 3 and 4 on my dock to stream on OBS. Anything past input 2 doesn't seem to work, regardless which Tracks are toggled. In theory, I could use inputs 1 & 2, but that knocks my microphone out of the game. Is there a way I can set this up properly for my audience to hear in stereo? I'd like to use this for streaming potential BUT I also want to try using this for 'sharing screen' on Discord when using OBS as a monitoring loopback device. Thanks!

@FocusriteHelp

2 жыл бұрын

Afraid that is a limitation of OBS - it does not currently support multi-channel ASIO driver types so will only be able to receive audio from the first two inputs of any audio device, so you will need to ensure that you connect your microphone/instrument to Input 1 or 2. You may find that a physical loopback allows you to achieve the setup that you are looking for, as explained in this article - support.focusrite.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360005040720-How-to-set-up-your-audio-interface-in-OBS-Open-Broadcaster-Software-on-Windows John // Focusrite UK 🇬🇧

@PeachToadstool

@@FocusriteHelp Thanks, John. A physical loopback is how I've been doing it straight on Discord (output 2 to input 2), but that creates a mono sound, since Discord has similar limitations as OBS. However, 'Share Screen' allows whatever sound is playing (even in perfect stereo, say, from an MP3) to broadcast perfectly. Any method that will allow specific ASIO ports to loopback to DirectSound or WASAPI would work great. I've done a lot of research but I'm still stuck.

This did not help me. My FocusRite is getting signal from the 1/4" that goes to a Tip and Ring RCA to my NuMark Mixtrack Platinum FX BUT my Audio Input Capture Source is not receiving signal. It's probably a settings issue either with my PC or OBS as Serato Lite does not have much settings to toy with.

I had this same issue. It seems the Scarlet treats each input as a single line. An RCA to 1/4" RCA Y cable won't work unless you unplug the left or right channel on the RCA side or get an RCA to Dual TRS and plug 1/4" into lines 1 and 2. There may be a way to correct for this in the Focusrite Control software but I wasn't able to find a setting which worked.

@FocusriteHelp

It's not entirely clear what you're asking. Either way you would need an interface to get the analogue audio data from your mic'd amp into the digital realm of your computer. Using the Direct Monitor feature doesn't affect the signal chain at all in terms of processing; it's simply a tool that bypasses the computer and sends the audio straight to your headphones to monitor. So it really depends on what your setup is. We're happy to chat more about this via DMs on our social channels.
