JohnPaul
A sincere THANK YOU! Amazing video with clear instructions, which makes everything looks very easy!
Much love to you brother!

[Chasjazzez]

Why would you ever dislike this video... ?Maybe some people who don’t like more “competition” online? This it really some good crucial information! Thanks @johnpaul !!

[lukeleeburton]

What an incredible video. Super clear, no wasted words, completely helpful. Glad I discovered your channel JP!

[katycoxmusic]

Left a long comment on JohnPaul Music's other video that I found so incredibly helpful -- "OBS Tutorial - How I setup & use OBS" but wanted to say "Thank you!" here as well. Bought you several coffees. I was a desperate singer-songwriter with bad sound but now, thanks to you, I am all ready to go for my first Facebook Live concert on Wednesday night with great audio!! :) You have done the world of quarantined musicians a great service.

[dksdmusic]

I think this was probably the most helpful video I've ever seen on YouTube. Great video man and thanks for the efforts, we appreciate it.

[wills]

This is exactly the type of tutorial I've been searching for. Love that you brought in OBS into the mix too!

[TaraBrueskemusic]

Thank you--one of the best walk throughs of OBS and ways of going LIVE I've seen!

[davidjohnlloydguitarist]

Thank you for this...you didn't once say 'Hi was hooked from the start! Very informative.

[inn]

I cannot begin to thank you enough for this vid! I have watched so many confusing versions and wasted so much time and money on useless tech tools and you showed me the answer to every question I’ve had in one simple video. THANK YOU!!

[selog]

Hi John!
Firstly thank you for such an awesome video, much needed during these wild times, like you said, especially as musicians a better quality gig is much better!


I have a question, as i'm not that tech-savvy, but i was wondering, I normally do streams on my Instagram, and I have seen a couple people use irig or irig stream, however, this apple camera connector kit looks interesting too!


Just trying to paint a picture of the set up in my mind. I would love to run it by you!


I want to be able to plug in my dynamic, or condenser mic ( either my SHURE SM58 OR ZOOM H4N handy recorder) whilst also playing my backing tracks during the stream ( with an occasional guitar or piano playing) but my main concern, for now, is a good mix on the mic and clear BT's playing.


Is there a way i can use my audio interphase ( m audio m-track 2x2 c series) to do all this, and run it through my LOGIC PRO X so that I can basically run backing tracks and also have a vocal channel allowing me to add some FX to the vocals during the stream?




I hope i am making sense right now, but is there a way to run it through the laptop directly into the phone to get a good sound with the mic and backing tracks? For this would you recommend the irig set up, or the camera connecting cable kit that you have used?


Thanks again!


Warmest

[shubhshah]

thank you much. i had been searching for videos on how to setup a mic for live covers, but could, nt find any. you video just cleared all the doubts I had. thank you sir! All info is up to the point and tells everything you need to know to do a live gig or live stream

[stevebowers]

John,

I've spent almost a week trying to sort this out, thank you ever so much!

[nolanneal]

Such a great video! Concise, informative, well spoken and I also noticed you reply to almost all the comments. Very cool!

[victorhugod]

This ia simply the best vídeo, that I've seen about this subject.

[thisisshari]

Thank you for this video, it was really helpful! Would you do a detailed video on how to use Blackhole to run the sound in your DAW into OBS? I can't seem to figure it out.

[puppetpatti]

Thank you for this. First video I’ve found that is plain and simple instruction. Understanding this part of musician set up is where I lack. I just plug into my amp and go. I want so badly to understand how to sound better during my lives. I am looking into a IRig stream but still have no idea what I would need to set it up or how to set it up. I need a set up 101 class! But this did help thanks

[JacarandaMusic]

This was marvellous. I especially appreciated that you basically got on with it and didn't waste time waffling about irrelevant stuff before the main attraction even started! I have a question, if I may; my upload speed is terrible - max 0.5 Mbps. sometimes 0.4. As I understand it this is too slow for livestreaming. But would it help if I was able to have the video only in black and white? And if so, how can I get that? I have an iphone 6+ (and an interface and mics etc). I've got as far as installing OBS, actually the StreamLabs version. If this were to work out, I've been asked by one of my places of work to livestream to Facebook a charity gig, various tuition colleagues have been doing these and some useful ££ raised. Unfortunately, the tradition now is they happen at 7pm...

[MegaMAWG]

I'm SO glad I came across this video. OBS has been sitting in my dock for some time and I had NO idea it could do all this! THANK YOU!!!

[Lennyrapid]

Hos is the iPhone connected to the computer(so obs can see and use it)? USB cable or via WiFi? Great tutorial! Cheers from Sweden

[gangoa]

Fantastic video! You've prob explained what 90% of musicians out there have been wanting to know for the lockdown, very helpful, well done
