Using Pro Audio Plugins in OBS | Get the Best Stream Audio

This episode of Sound 101 covers another trick that will help you get the best stream audio by using pro audio plugins in OBS. Andrew explains how to download and import some of the best audio plugins for OBS so you can use them for your livestream audio.

Free OSB VST Plugins:

OBS is a powerful free program for streaming and is essential in today's world of online content, but the audio plugins are somewhat limited. Thankfully you can add your own plugins from the best DAW or your favorite DAW. Some expensive DAWs even have free audio plugins for you to use.

By using pro plugins for audio, you can ensure that your stream sounds great and stands out from the competition. Getting the best Twitch audio can be done using OBS and these pro plugins.

What audio issues are you running into while streaming?

[BenjiDWJ]

Another awesome video as per usual! I appreciate you for taking the time to highlight the fantastic Reaper suite as well as offering up a bunch of very helpful & useful tips Andrew! 😄👌

Cheers to you, my man! 🥃🥃

The signal flow is top to bottom in the list of added plugins and you will want to make sure that the limiter is the last thing in your chain and not put the EQ after.

[WandelLander]

I love this feature. Since I learned about it I’ve been running some Softube plug-ins in OBS, usually American Class A and Weiss MM-1 (a channel strip and a limiter, similar to what you’re showing)

[benjipage]

Is there any way to quantify the width of a mics pickup pattern in physical distance for a set gain ratio? How far back from a 2m spaced source would you need to be to pick both up evenly etc?

[chris]

Nice thank you so much, this is exactly what we need for our live stream.

[AidenAidens]

Cheers, very helpful indeed.

Would like to see a video on which frequencies to set lowpass and high-pass filters to in OBS where it is still affective but, doesn't take away from the natural highs and lows of vocals.

[BrianSchwartz]

Appreciate this video. I have been experimenting using Adobe Audition to enhance audio in my audio and video conferences. Generally fine with Audio, but for some reason latency gets introduced between audio and video on the calls. Maybe that won't be the case with OBS...will have to try. Would be cool to see how you would use a DAW to do this same thing. Thanks so much.

Very nice, I now use the eq for +6 V-shaped eq "curve". Also using the noise gate from Reaper plug. The problem I have is only one monitor because of low desk space. Would love it if I could see my volume meters on my phone. I do have a mini goxlr but still having the crash every time it looks for an update bug every 30 mins. At least with separate audio channels, I can use RTX voice on my mic.

[DahliaTheHologram]

Thanks! Very helpful video. I really needed this. :)

[AnthonyCFox]

I already have Reaper, I didn't I could use it's plugins - this is too cool!

[PatrickMastersProductions]

Best microphone value in the game today. Love your all’s products and videos

[GaryMeadowsMusic]

I had to put mine in vst common files for Cakewalk, they didn't show up in obs until I downloaded and actually put them there. Now they work.

[penehoffgaming]

I have been streaming for 2 years almost and i still have found a nice sound yet

[tylerwinter]

Nice! Any suggestions on how to lower the latency in obs while monitoring your voice?

[DivyanshuGautam]

OBS searches VSTs in the default folders, so if you've installed the plugins in different drives or locations, your plugins won't show.

[vampyre_asmr]

Hi, how do you toggle the plugin while streaming, like if you don't want to use it the entire time. Thanks

[Milestonesoflove]

Thanks a million just made me want to stream with obs again

[rixtalinc]

is there any software would work other thn OBS for live vst plugin?
i meant like voice meter or something but i want it work for plugins too...

[grimrockman]

Please help.
Once I saw a video on youtube about a plugin for streamers (maybe for Premiere or so) that can cut or set marks on video when you say the word "cut" or something like that during a stream. This helps to find those spots in a big video quickly and cut (through markers or so, I don't remember exactly).
But I can't find this video anymore.

Maybe you know the name of this plugin. Maybe this is not Premiere plugin but OBS one
