How to SEPARATE AUDIO for Twitch VOD with OBS studio (NO Voicemeeter)

Learn in this quick Tip tutorial how to separate audio for use with the Twitch VOD Track all in OBS Studio without Voicemeeter or Virtual Audio cable!

With OBS Studio v 28.0 a new audio capture (Application audio capture) was added to OBS Studio. This new type of audio source allows us to bring in the audio from each application on a separate audio channel. Therefore, allowing us to use only OBS Studio to set up audio routing for the Twitch VOD Track.

No longer do you need any 3rd party application like Voicemeeter or Virtual Audio Cable to use the Twitch VOD Track with OBS Studio.

This tutorial is only for OBS Studio. Streamlabs OBS currently does NOT support this feature!

**Frequently asked questions**

*Does this work on Streamlabs OBS?*
No

*Do I require Voicemeeeter?*
No

*I don't see the Twitch VOD Setting*
Check the video chapters

*Can I use copyrighted music with this?*
Legally speaking, no, however because there won't be any music in the VOD the chance of a DMCA takedown is reduced. It does however not change anything about the Livestreaming of copyrighted music.

*How can I capture alert sounds?*
Assuming your alerts are coming in through browser sources.
Open the browser source setting of the corresponding alert and enable 'Control audio via OBS'.

after watching tons of videos about how to make audio right in OBS ... FINALLY A USEFULL VIDEO MADE ME UNDERSTAND ALL MY MISTAKES AND LITERALY FIXED ALL MY ISSUES WITHIN 7 MINUTES! THANKS KEEP THE GOOD WORK

[Ahamkeira]

Best tutorial on the face of the planet. I've never subbed to a tutorial channel before but this deserves it

[TheRealFireTurtle]

Thank goodness you explained this in detail and at a reasonable speed. Nearly every video I've watched missed critical steps or they just clicked through them fast or just said nothing about them at all. I appreciate it a lot! Awesome video!

[Xationch]

Short, precise, perfect! Just what we are looking for! Thank you for simply going straight to the explanations. It's rare on Youtube.

[BlueSR]

Great tutorial that was well worded and easy to follow! I've been meaning to do this for my stream for a long time, but have never found the energy to do so since there was always so much clutter with external applications and such. This method was a lot better though! Thank you :3

[HunBunMcRun]

bro ur the goat been trying forever and u made a simple and easy guide wtf

[drizzintahl]

Just spent 10 minutes watching someone "setup twitch separate audio music vod" like this, and it spent most of the time talking about editing software and recording settings.

This video is on point, was looking for something concise to send to some friends and this is fantastic.

Cheers!

[TheChilledMan]

Much love for the simple walkthrough. Clean, precise, step by step. Loved it. Thought I knew what I was doing but man that Audio Control scene saves me so much time now. Much love brother!

[MungoBurrows]

I got whiplash from how quick and dense the 15 second version was, but boy did it work

[yoerika]

Thank you! This just helped me in so many ways! I use Voicemeeter, and may switch to this method. BUT my mind was blown learning about how "Scenes" can be used as a source! This will save me so much time with updating sources. I have so many sources that appear across all of my scenes...Now I can just group them together in one spot, and thus update in one spot! You have saved me hours, thank you!

bro u dont know how helpful this was u didnt talk fast and u didnt cut important stuff it was easy to keep up with the vid unlike other people who talk and do everything fast and i didnt have to download voice meter thank u

[DryIceyboi]

Life saver for getting montages of gameplay! While listening to some tunes!

[LovelyLetty]

I couldn't have been more satisfying with a video tutorial.
