This is my “Master Class” for OBS Studio. I’ve spent basically all of 2017 researching, scripting, revising, shooting, and producing this course, and I’m quite proud of what it’s become. This should be a fantastic all-in-one reference guide with the software, with just minimal updates required for new features.

This course will primarily focus on the Windows version of OBS Studio. I have some minor points that reference differences with macOS and Linux setup, but I cannot currently go in-depth with those versions at this time.

Also, this video is available in a full 4K UHD 60 frames per second format. This will give you not only the best visual quality, but the best clarity for viewing text and settings menus.

Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much! after a long search, i finally found this video that really explained how to setup up my stream and record sound at the same time so then i could edit without hear my stream voice!

[DaveyKTech]

Bless this video so much. I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong and it was because my dumb butt didn't understand I needed a master mix for the stream and separate channels for the other audio for editing purposes later. I've learned a lot from these videos Epos, thanks for putting so much effort into them.

[carolexi]

omg I found it!! (I commented on another older video about audio things/issues on OBS) thank you so much I'll be utilizing the information you have shared! thank you again so much!

[TheCryptonomatron]

At last, a proper guide to OBS audio! Thanks!

[LesHistoiresdeReiji]

6:20 Men your videos are too good !! Thank you so much ! You always add the important details that we need in your explenations ! I spent hours on OBS trying to understand why I couldn't hear certain tracks in the final media file...

[elpapajugoncuarenton]

Great Video. Perfectly explained. Liked & subscribed.

Great channel. Still figuring things out. I'm trying to get set up for music recording tutorials and streaming live concerts. I'm on a Mac. Been recording to mp4. Got things set up like you show (I think) but don't see how the mic would record to a 3rd track. Trying to get a stereo music track and the mic on a seperate track to balance later in FCP X.
So far it all comes out as one stereo track with mic and music together.
Thanks.

Thank you so much for this tutorial! One question that I couldn't find the answer for: if I'm streaming using headphones plugged into the XB1 controller for output (mic's plugged into the PC on a short (1400ms) delay so it'll sync with the ElGato) I can mute Desktop Audio completely, yes? All I'd need are the ElGato and mic tracks active--both on 1, ElGato on 1 and 2, and mic on 1 and 3, for instance. Thanks again--this series has saved me probably a hundred hours of fruitless experimenting. :)

I have a behringer um2 and i can't monitor my mic through obs, can u help me out here pls ?

[gammaray]

Hello EposVox,
Thank you for these tutorials, they've been a valuable resource. Perhaps this is a really obvious question but I can't seem to find any information about it: is there a way to crossfade audio along with scene transitions? The video cross dissolves nicely but the audio track keeps going until being abruptly shut off as the next audio file comes in. This is a really obvious necessity, surely I'm missing something?

[Rawhaki]

Aah, Soul Reaver. What a great game <3

[MoniqueJohnson]

Hi EposVox! Thank you soooo much for doing this course and masterclass!! I greatly appreciate it! I have a question.... what would you suggest is the best set up if you are including a remote source from skype or zoom.us. How would you pick up their high-quality audio from a remote app like that? Thanks!

[JediCrackSmoke]

A question for you, sir. I’m using Streamlabs OBS. I’m finding that when I enable Desktop Audio within SLOBS so that the audio for the subscription/donation notifications can be heard over the live stream it is also doubling the video game audio (I’m using an elgato hd 60s).

Is there a way for me to be able keep my desktop audio from doubling the audio from my capture device yet still broadcast notifications audio as well as audio from media files that I might cue?

Thanks!

[Bouipi]

I got it all set up from the video you have shown for recording, its getting my desktop audio (track 1) but not picking up my mic (track 2)

[TheSwarmX]

i have a difficult time understanding something and looked through the videos and didn't find it (maybe i missed it). when i am separating the audio what would just the game audio be and what would the streamlabs audio (notifications) with gameplay be so i can isolate them in the audio tab. i want 3 audio files. one, a audio file with just the game, one with just the microphone, and one that would use everything including the streamlabs audio (that i'd stream). i run my audio through my blue yeti into voicemeeter. i am super new (talking first 2 weeks) also. do you think voicemeeter is worth it to try to make my microphone better or should i try something else.

[TheLTGamer]

I have an at2020 and a behringer 502 (non USB) I have to plug it into my line in port on my PC but IDK what levels to put them on. Any idea?

[makxkelly]

I need help
I want to record my game play and the game sounds but I want to listen to music while play but I don’t want record the music
How do I do that?

[nextchannelgames]

Oh so for stream & recording I need both audio tracks for Desktop & Mic to be 1 and have them on 2 & 3 separate correct?

[spuddy]

Hi, I streamed earlier and figured everything was fine, but when I went back to play my recorded stream it was echoing. I had it to 'monitor and output'. What setting do I need so that I can hear my obs studio and my viewers can hear the stream without the echo?

[rodneygreenway]

If I wanted to stream an interview through zoom via a window capture, is there a way that I can pull the audio from within the window itself. I would like to be able to chat with the person I'm interviewing with my mic and speakers like normal, but if I do, it'll cause an echo. If I disable my mic, then I can't talk, and if I disable my speakers then I can't hear. I'm looking for a way that I can talk and listen during the interview, but the viewers only hear what's coming through the window source itself. I want them to only be able to hear the conversation WITHIN the window, and not my actual speakers and microphone. Giving me the freedom to talk and listen normally, not have to worry about echos or feedback, and it all sounds nice and clean to the view because they're getting it directly from the window source. Is this possible? Like if I disabled my microphone and speakers within OBS, but kept them enabled on my computer, and then create a window source with the zoom window, and get it started. I hope this makes sense.
