Dude, I've been streaming music for 2 years and am always running logic in the background for all my plugins & effects. I had no idea I can just run the same plugins in OBS and not have to run 2 CPU sucking programs at the same time! THANK YOU!

[edwin_exe]

i just installed obs cuz my college is starting from tommorow amd luckily reid uploaded this awesome video lets

[GamerGriaBros]

Great video! Another tip is OBS only recognizes vst2 plugins so if your plugins are not showing, make sure you have the vst2 version installed

[stevengoetzlmusic]

Listen man - "Loop Back Audio" just saved me from one week of trouble shooting into OBS. Thank you - this was the ONLY video that I found to solve my issue.

the realest puppet now in the streaming game. Great content as always!

I have no idea what I’m about to watch, but Reid is so smooth I’m sure he’s gonna convince me to invest into whatever it is! 😅

[mymixlab]

The Reid Stefan tutorial we didn’t know we needed 🔥

[saltersbdavisiv]

Thanks Reid... You and FB Heatwave got me back into OBS and streaming!!!!

[SleepWorship]

Man! I've been trying for so long to get decent sound while streaming Cubase tutorials! Gonna have to give Loopback a try! Thanks a ton for the tips!

If you want to keep a scene just for audio rather than delete the elemtns, in this example the Deesser and limter, you could just select the eye icon next to each and deselect, effectively acts as a switch for the elements in the scene. Keep up the great work, thanks.

I didn’t expected you uploading this! Kinda surprise that what I can appreciate more. Vst for life

[sillyfello]

I didn’t know loop back can be done virtually.. Thanks Reid..

[tmseverydaylife]

Finally somebody could actually help!!! Thank you

[Airic]

Nice! I've been using a hardware mixer but def prefer the least amount of gear possible! There's ways to use "Cue Outputs" to accomplish this for those who have the higher end Apollo's but not possible with the lower Twins... so for me, Twin Duo+Loopback is clutch!! salute

[iamgerer]

Reid . Thank you so much ❤️, i have been thinking recently how to get started, and thanks to you atlast!

[czarnicholas_]

This is exactly what i was looking for

[alpineaudiovisualstream]

Great vid, but obviously needs an update re Waves plugins. Also, not all the plugins are going to show up in OBS. It all depends how they're installed on your computer. If it's not in default vst folder on the same drive as OBS, they won't show up.

[Electroacoustic]

Thank you for such amazing tips! This will surely be helpful with my future live streams :)
