Live Stream your DAW through OBS! How-to guide

In today's live tutorial, we're going to be looking at a cool way to get your DAW sound out to a live stream - that doesn't require any cables, and can get around a large number of issues that you may be having.

We're then connecting that to OBS, the site for which is here:-

For those not getting "reaplug-standalone" to appear in the VST 2.0 menu in OBS please make sure that the dll is installed in any of the following folders:

C:/Program Files/Steinberg/VstPlugins/
C:/Program Files/Common Files/Steinberg/Shared Components/
C:/Program Files/Common Files/VST2
C:/Program Files/Common Files/VSTPlugins/
C:/Program Files/VSTPlugins/

Reaplugs was being installed to my Cakewalk VST Plug ins which is NOT searched by OBS. Other DAWS may install to a different folder but all you need to do is copy the reaplug-standalone dll to one of the folders I listed above. Hope this helps some!

I'm actually excited enough to write a comment for the first time in years. This solution is so elegant compared to the others I've found out there through the years. The plugin seems to be good quality, it's very adaptable, flexible and very light. Thanks a million. Goodbye to hating my life fiddling with voicemeeter and direct sound. Can't commend this method enough.

Thank you! 4 years later, this video is still helping people.

This is genius!!! You have no idea how much this will simplify this process!!! Thank you for sharing!

[Memrin]

I've spent days, week's, month's, countless hours trying to figure this shit out and it's this fuckin simple, jesus i cannot thank you enough for this it's been driving me crazy !

[Christopher.white_]

This is immensely helpful. Thank you. The 96khz thing has been ruining my livestreams. Will try this way now!

[julieorwell]

You video saved me. I spent days trying to figure out how to stream voice + piano, nothing worked, was ready to give up. And it amazes me how simple this plugin is, no difficult setting at all

[JESUSHAUDIO]

Thank you, after watching like 7 different tutorials, this has been the only one that actually makes any sense.

[davidscott]

dude! thank you! I've been trying to figure out how to get this working for days now. All I could get OBS to record was the raw input from my guitar now I can actually record with my FX loop. I cannot thank you enough.

[ghason]

Dude!!!! I've been battling this damn VST for hours now following different guides THANKS TO U I GOT IT TO WORK! (I changed the Inside cubase VST name.... what an idiot.)

[JKZNMUSIC]

I've litterally been at this for 4 hours. it currently 1am pac, this is the only video that helped! THANK YOU!!! i tried everything, voice meeter, odeus, everything

[fractalsauce]

OMG thank you! Been trying to figure this out for like an hour and watched like 3 other videos on this topic and this is the only one that's actually worked! Thanks a ton!

[theplanetsideproject]

All I saw was the like ratio and the title and that's all I needed to see. You're a lifesaver my guy!

[iamXanderJones]

Youre a god amongst men. I recently made the switch from Mac to PC and I've tried everything else, but this is incredible

[abdullahibrahim]

Thank you so much...I had voice meter banana in the past briefly but had some weird latency and other hiccup and glitches...I cannot stress enough how much time and headaches you have saved me...i also had another solution patching cables from my focusrite back in the onboard audio card....I believe it doesn't need to be mentioned that it was less than ideal...

[piratestudiosproductions]

Just now gettin into OBS, and I love you sir. You took away all my stress.

[OldRasputin]

Thank you so much for this video. Ever since the OBS 27 update, I have been having constant issues with the OBS ASIO plugin. My routing isn't that complicated, but I route ASIO audio of Rocksmith 2014 into my DAW, and its incredibly touchy with that plugin. So I have been stuck using OBS 26 until now. Lifesaver!

[Emotionnewsoul]

Thank you. This has been very helpful! Big thumbs up!

[Ari_Bytes]

Thank you!
My last setup was using a mini tele (aux) from a splitter in my soundcard back into my computer. adding latency, noise and a bit lag.
This is amazing. Thank you.

[TillyP]

Thank you for this! I just switched over to StreamLabs OBS and it wouldn't take the old ReaRoute hardware output workaround, so this is a great way for me to stream my music stuff! Much appreciated
