Life savor!! I got a new apollo and had that same Scarlett in my closet. After a week of trying to route with all the different software . This vid made it so much easier

at about 5 min in the video I remembered I had a cheap "jack to usb" dongle and a splitter. That works just fine for what I want. Thanks! lol

[joshmulder]

Watching this video saved me a lot of hassle, thank you so much

[sybreedsTV]

Fantastic guide, had some concerns with my m1 macbook air. Really streamlined explanation of combining the DAW and OBS which can be a pain for routing. Big thumbs up! Thank you for making this!

[mateoconk]

Realized I have an iRig sitting around… boom. Connect to second Mac. Thanks for the help.

[AlegrasoundsAU]

holy shit man i needed to see this i almost bought a top end mac

[Samtar]

Thanks dude! This worked wonderfully! Used my old crummy line 6 toneport instead of buying anything!

Hey bro,
thanks for the info!!!

I've been checking around doing research on recording DAW into OBS,
I first used virtual cables/black hole and have been referred to other software/virtual cable setups and loopback,

After fiddling with all audio settings and routings and banging my head against a wall "inside the box", I've decided to go with a 2nd interface, using 3/4out into 1/2 in, into OBS,

I use scarlett 18i6 plus scarlett octopre for a total of 16 inputs with live drums and everything,
trying to avoid multichannel audio sources inside ableton, and using the intended soundcard to avoid all latency, and using hardware connections...

problem solved, clean as a whistle

I was concerned I use Mac LAPTOP, 16GB i7 with a terabyte SD,

So far I haven't hit any walls in my processing to my knowledge, but the interface is in the mail,
and il be putting it all to the test once I get situated,

first and foremost thanks for cutting out all the bullshit of virtual audio routing,
I haven't checked out your music yet, but il have a look see here soon.
obviously I'm using 2nd interface, (3rd) lol

but I'm not intending to use another laptop,

il keep your words in the back of my mind and keep an eye on my processor once I get everything up and running,
but if I encounter any issue with this can I contact you concerning CPU?

thanks a lot

[primatensohn]

that is exactly what i searched for!! thanks mate!!

[supavizorbeats]

thanks a lot but how to do it with using 2 computer?

[musicsamples-electronicdan]

Great Job, many thanks for featuring 💚 😉

[christianpena]

dude, you're brilliant. thanks a lot!

[jafalamusic]

Awesome, I opted for the "2 interface" method - works great! Also, I figured out how to add a headphone cue mix in Ableton, say 9/10: add another ext. audio effect to the "monitor" chain of the audio effect rack you created, with "audio to" going to 9/10....also, wondering about my "audio settings" in OBS: Is the "monitoring device" my "good interface" as opposed to the "janky interface"? I'm assuming so..thanks so much for your wisdom!

[dexondabeat]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge !!! xxx

[indijeane]

I’m really interested in an in depth video on loopback 2 there really isn’t anything on YouTube for this

[JohnJamesPhoto]

how do i get my live mic audio that is being processed by ableton to be picked up so i can use my good audio processing for input in obs?

[djyoungslade]

Can you better explain how to set it up with 2 computers? How do I mirror my screen onto the 2nd computer?

[ethantrimble]

Thanks this video was tremendously done! And I now understand that I just need a way stronger desktop... lol that being said. Any desktop computers that you'd reccomend me getting if I were to have a just one computer setup? Having 2 computers and 2 audio interfaces seem a lil nuts if i can just have a badass computer. thanks!

[godforreal]

2 interfaces? That's silly. Why can't you direct monitor your mic and use blackhole to route to obs? If it clicks and pops, increase your buffer size. Maybe 13 ms latency before you use compensation.

[Tapepusher]

Is it really that simple to send the video to another another mac, just attach it via cam link/hdmi and the other mac will just mirror the screen?

I love the idea of offloading the visuals to another machine but I suspect it’s not that easy?
