    *Hopefully this can help you or anyone reading this:* If you mute the mic in the audience mix, you should be able to add the mic directly in OBS and treat the mic and audience mix separately like you want. This also goes for the Wave Link software (tho they released an update that can exclude the mic from the audience mix), and the Avermedia Nexus. Also, using a cheap midi controller like the Korg Nanokontrol2 or Worlde Easy Control 9 with all the faders and knobs they have, using the WinCapAudio plugin (what was shown that let you add individual windows like Chrome as volume sources in OBS) with the Midi-Mixer software and its OBS plugin will let you have fader/knob control of any of those audio sources inside of OBS. Hopefully the 2nd half of this can help out in that future video too :).

    Still watching the video and loving it, but wanted to jump in here. You mentioned you couldn’t separate out the audio sources by scene with both the Beacn products and Wave products. Is this not considering that you can do Audio Input/Output Captures that point directly to the Game or Music sections of the mixing programs? I actually do this with my Wave XLR to only have the music channel on my BRB screen incase I forget to mute my microphone before the scene change. I’m sure you’ve seen this and the extension you mentioned is a great solution, just wanted to offer this as a solution as well.

    Yes you can, but then you relinquish all your audio control to OBS anyway. The dials will have no way of controlling your audio. At that point, just download Win Capture Audio. It's completely free. My video will cover this (as well as how you can control your audio with a Stream Deck/phone).

    A little warning (and would be nice to see if there is a fix) about the Win-Capture-Audio, it doesn't play well with Windows 11. I tried everything when I upgraded my PC, and it looked like it was working and the levels were lighting up as if it were, but overall when I recorded or streamed it was our silence. So, if you do a video on it, I'd love to see if you run into the same problem or if you find a fix. It works fine on all the Windows 10 computers I have though.

If they were to release a version of the mix create without the big screen and maybe focus the cost of that screen into some nice mechanical sliders or more buttons or whatever, I'd be all over it.
