This way I hear exactly what is being sent out over the stream. I generally MUTE the Audio source and then monitor it in OBS ( using the advanced audio properties and then selecting MONITOR for each channel I want to hear played back ). Loopback lets you play with the audio and you can mute the playback of it, or route the monitoring of it to a particular output. Not sure how that compares to what you are using. I use LOOPBACK for audio routing in the Mac. I don't monitor from the Phone out on the mixer. The thing that I do differently is I monitor all my stream audio from my MAC. But I wanted to check here first to see if anyone could diagnose my issue for me. So basically, I guess my question is - does having a physical mixer (Alesis Multimix 4) allow me the range of OBS controls that I'm looking for? Or is it simply a medium between my headphones and my OBS audio? I know this is more of a setup question and I intend to have an A/V buddy of mine stop by and grade my setup. Yeah, I can't hear myself in my cans and it doesn't register (much) on the OBS volume slider, but it's not truly muted, as my desktop audio doesn't return to its original volume until the mic track is muted on OBS. Turning down my mic on the mixer doesn't make much of an effect. I have it configured via the audio filters but the audio will only truly return to its original volume if I mute the microphone slider via OBS. I'd like to know if there was a way my physical mixer could control the OBS audio levels, especially considering I'm using multiple channels. It doesn't change anything on-screen or in OBS. Is it possible to control OBS volume sliders with my physical mixer?Īll lowering my audio on the mixer does is decrease the volume in my headphones. I downloaded the iShowU digital audio capture device so that I could pull sound from my iTunes without the outside noise of my mic.
(think of this, except with an on-air personality: ) I thought the USB recording would be nice and clean but this is horrible.I have an alesis multimix 4 4-channel mixer and I'm using OBS to run a Youtube live stream that is simply my iTunes music and me narrating/hosting on my microphone. turned off I am getting the noise it seems to be from the Alesis mixer which is powered by an external adaptor. The noise is there on the playback itself but it doesn't seem quite as bad as when listening to it recording.will need to experiment further.Īm I doing something wrong here, even with the Fusion and any speakers etc. I am having a frustrating morning with this and if this is the quality I can expect then I am taking it back.
I have the external USB mic codec selected as the default input for recording (there are no Alesis drivers as such). I disabled the webcam mic array and it is not that and if I disable external mic I can no longer get any input but the noise goes (as there is no input). When I Arm a track to record you can hear it there. £70, job done.Įxcept, when I am recording there is an incredibly loud hiss on the recording and the input in general. Seemed perfect as it would let me record via USB and double up as a way to mix two keyboards down to two channels on stage. So, i bought an Alesis Multimix 4 USB yesterday.
I recently reduced my PC stuff to a HP DV-6 laptop (AMD dual core, 4gb ram, IDT HD sound, Windows 7 64 bit) which is great for CAD and gaming but only has a mic in and I want to record from an Alesis Fusion Digital Workstation.
