ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Thank you so much!!! I do a daily podcast using OBS and I have the RODE PODCASTER and RODE PODMIC. The quality was already there but I noticed that other videos on KZread had a lot more volume without distortion or clipping. FINALLY, you have shown me the key!!! I just made a test video after adding the compressor and limiter to OBS (using your settings) and it is like a whole new video. I can't thank you enough for making this information plain and available. God bless you. -John (Steele, MO)

I am studio recording engineer and have been beginning a journey in live streaming, have noticed that so many streamers are super quiet... there is just no info out there that is any good, until this video! Was going to wind up making one myself, but youve done so well I wont need to now! Thank you!!!

I’ve been searching for a video covering these specific settings, to achieve consistent audio levels during streams. Excellent as always 👍🏾

This video is first class!!! Cant thank you enough... a rare youtube tutorial that isn't annoying 🤣🤣 got my stream sounding awesome

Thx for explaining it clearly first person that knows qhat he is doing with audio well done mate thx 👍

Small update. I have now tried those new settings. Man the sound is just so much better. I play Trance - Hard Trance - Hard House It was a nightmare with the sound levels. Now I can actually hear what's coming through the live stream with clarity. Again thanks a lot for the info I have been searching for 4 weeks to get the sound right. I have not gone live yet as I am seriously critical when it comes to sound quality. Now I have the confidence to do it 🙏

I was having problems with OBS sound quality on my DJ streams - seemed oddly muffed and distorted and after following the guidelines in this tutorial I now have a far superior sound for my streams. Nice work dude!!

Wonderful…I’m sick at present, but I did a recording of my voice with those settings on an old EliteBook Surface pro…and the Audi quality is wonderful. I’m a vocalist crooner, but primarily a singer songwriter and always lamented how the audio quality wasn’t great! I can’t wait to be well again and a LIVE30 set where I sing and play for 30 minutes…thanks again friend!

Your a legend. I've just been listening to one of my streams and it was defo to loud. I've made all the adjustments so hopefully it will be much clearer next time!!!!

Superb video clear and precise well worth watching 10/10👏

very well presented and explained. Thanks I have been trying to make my mixcloud sound better

Late to the game but glad I found this. Been streaming on twitch for a few years. Usually set my levels in rekordbox so the channel VU meter on my mixer is at 2 yellow with the trim at 11 o clock. Still always feel like I’m constantly staring at the VU in OBS to make sure I’m not clipping. Appreciate the tips homie!

Helped loads. Was looking to boost audio and this works. I'm still not as loud as I would like but still way better.

Perfection. Exactly what I needed. Thank you

Brilliant video. Can't wait try this out.

Thank you for the video. Great info Pri. Setting up to broadcast a live band performance using an Apollo Console as my virtual mixer then going into OBS.

There should be a 6-15db difference between your voice and the volume of the game. It’s ok to have the game or background music quieter. Audience can turn their volume up, but they can fix it when the background is too loud.

This helps me a lot. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful vid

Thank you so much for this video.....I do have a question. Would you recommend this technique for singers playing covers that are going through a mixer? I monitor the feed out of the Mixer, and set OBS to just stay out of red. But, it seems to me that this technique could still be useful.

Great vid. Can you adjust the bass and treble in OBS?

Thank you so much sir

Pri yon Joni... You are a king for this information. Appreciate you bro 🙌🏾 I have one question? I use the IRig stream for my audio coming out of my mixer. I noticed in your video that you control your audio settings through the mic/aux. In the audio mixer section of obs... It shows my IRig stream and Mic/aux. I'm trying to figure out which one should I control my properties through to stream with the proper audio. Do I control it through the IRig stream or Mic/aux? Or both. I'm just confused LOL. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

Thanks for your info! I made the adjustments in OBS when I stream live my DJ techno set. Question - is there a piece of equipment I can buy that does the same effects without using OBS and I can plug to my XDJ-XZ to my speakers when I play live, not stream?

Nice tutorial and also share some knowledge about audio setup.. Just one question sir.. Which one is better for setting between mixer or audio interface?

Nice

Great video i do ASMR and sometimes my volume and sound quality sux compared to other channels, i have been looping recordings, and editing so i thought the audio had degraded i played around with some settings in my VLC player and boosted the volume and sharpened the eq i listened back to the broadcast and its like i cant break the damn twich ceiling.

Hi, very informative video. i noticed you didn't show "gain". i have this for my external mic only @ around +22.50. i'm not quit happy with that. if i was to use it with both your oprions in exact order, does "gain" go 1st, 2nd, or 3rd. i noticed when i was messin around, when i put my "gain" on with other options you didn't mention, i had no sound. to me, it's like a puzzle, if not in a certain order, obs doesn't work correctly.

THANK YOU!!!! 😭😭😭😭

Hey Bro .... Now I understand where my problem was... Believe it or not, I am doing this in Zoom and we know that Zoom Audio (Music) stinks, Well I made the changes and it sounds 100% better, actually its pretty good. Have my Twitch account but will get to Twitch by weekend, been doing Zoom Parties. Thanks again.

The thing you aren't covering is the fader level on OBS (which I see you had at max) and the input level from the mic. For mine, I have the OBS level not quite to the top and control the level from the mic without comp or limiter. Looking at my level on OBS it doesn't peak. But when I listen back to the stream, it is distorting.

@priyonjoni

3 жыл бұрын

Because I never changed the level. It’s at 0dB. The limiter is set to -3dB to provide 3dB of headroom in case any peaks go past the threshold. That is why there is no clipping in any of my examples or my live streams.

@BillRussellVoiceActor

3 жыл бұрын

@@priyonjoni On a usb interface or my interface (yamaha ur22), there isn’t a way to tell if it’s set at 0db. The level on OBS you have is maxed, is that 0db (you didn’t state that and I don’t see it on the meter in your video. It might have it in the newest update, I don’t remember)? You didn’t address it. I yell a lot on my stream. I’m going to try your settings and see what I get. I’ll get back to you. From what I can see, I need to set my OBS to MAX or 0db, set the comp and limiter (comp first in line) to -3db and change the levels on my USB interface when I see it go into the yellow (on my streams, if it hits in the yellow it clips or I have my mic gain to high and it clips it). I think that’s my problem is finding the balance between the level in the OBS and my microphone gain, and the comp/limiter combo is supposed to take is that. I’ll update you. Thanks.

Is that music played/ a part of the mic output when playing if that makes sense? So if I game and stream. I’ll have 2 things of audio going which is my mic and then my desktop audio which is my audio interface that is the stream output. Would I need to go create these audio effects for both? I usually only do my mic

Do you apply that compressor to all audio? Do you leave your mic on while you mix?

I'm not sure if it's on purpose, but at the beginning of the video your audio makes my little laptop speakers buzz. Then when you show the example with the compressor/limiter, it stops. Perfect example! lol

would it be optimal to use the same settings with the compressor and limiter for in-game voice while gaming?

Can i use this setting with mic input/voice or there is a different settings?

But what if you're not using encoder software and you want to stream straight to KZread? We've found that the spoken word sounds fine, but when we stream music from a source (e.g. a choir or multimedia player), the signal after processing through KZread sounds awful. If we have mic'd up a choir and they're singing, is the only way to make sure the streamed singing sounds good (aside from choir placement and condenser mics) is to use encoder software? What about streaming direct to KZread via Vaddio or via your inbuilt camera where you're lined in through a mixer? Thanks.
