Thank you so much for mentioning needing to press the 48v button if you're using a condenser mic! I was trying to figure out for about 39 minutes why I couldn't get OBS to pick up any sound thru my mic...all I needed to do was press that button. Saved me a lot of time!

i had bad sound forever going fromOBS to FB live and couldn't figure it out- like a phased sound, then I watched your video and finally realised these other tracks where all catching audio at the same time. When i disabled them like you said, it was fine! :) Thanks
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I want to start live streaming on RUclips and singing live with pre-made instrumentals and a mic only. Just need to figure out how to best do that if there's no actual instruments involved...

Hi! Can i use Focusrite 2i2 to get different tracks for the different inputs? In this example, so that voice goes to one audio track and guitar goes to another separated audio track in OBS?
Well done. Thank you. I was wondering why my videos were playing only in one side or my headphones......I needed to check the MONO box in the settings. Thanks for that.
Great tutorial! thank you so much. 1 question tho...im using everything the same as yours, but instead guitar I want to use music background, as minus one for me to sing... how do I do that? pls help.
Txs for the top explanation. Am looking for an interface for android, -means i want to sing on an android app smule or starmaker and the mobile headset (Android phone/USB C input) is not enough for a good vocal, what kind of usb / DC interface is ideal to connect the interface to a microphone then to a smartphone first. The interface could also be connected to PC or Ipad or laptop for live streaming. Do I need a mixer and a power supplied interface (as the interface without power would use the smartphone battery) Or a device like Yamaha AG06, Focusrite or Behring uc22? Txs for your kind support
If you don't have one of our interfaces with a loopback feature, this can be a tricky task, but there are ways to make it work. You can play the audio from a device like a phone or a tablet by connecting an aux chord to one of the inputs via a 3.5mm to 1/4 inch TRS cable. Or you can use a third-party internal audio routing program such as Soundflower to send route audio from Logic to the inputs in OBS. Please let us know if this helps or if you have additional questions.

I found a great solution to all this bs. I was having no luck also. So watch this video. ruclips.net/video/tj54m6vl38M/видео.html.

Hey, it's the latter I'm afraid; you can 'host' in a DAW with use of third-party software, or (depending on the interface you have) use external FX units. OBS may have VSTs you can use.

There are a couple possible causes for that. Make sure that there is nothing that could be causing interference near your interface such as a router or a phone.

Hiya! I have a Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 and I'm trying to hook up my stereo keyboard (L and R source or headphone jack as an alternative option) that is currently paired to inputs 3 and 4 on my dock to stream on OBS. Anything past input 2 doesn't seem to work, regardless which Tracks are toggled. In theory, I could use inputs 1 & 2, but that knocks my microphone out of the game. Is there a way I can set this up properly for my audience to hear in stereo? I'd like to use this for streaming potential BUT I also want to try using this for 'sharing screen' on Discord when using OBS as a monitoring loopback device. Thanks!
Afraid that is a limitation of OBS - it does not currently support multi-channel ASIO driver types so will only be able to receive audio from the first two inputs of any audio device, so you will need to ensure that you connect your microphone/instrument to Input 1 or 2. You may find that a physical loopback allows you to achieve the setup that you are looking for, as explained in this article - support.focusrite.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360005040720-How-to-set-up-your-audio-interface-in-OBS-Open-Broadcaster-Software-on-Windows John // Focusrite UK 🇬🇧
@@FocusriteHelp Thanks, John. A physical loopback is how I've been doing it straight on Discord (output 2 to input 2), but that creates a mono sound, since Discord has similar limitations as OBS. However, 'Share Screen' allows whatever sound is playing (even in perfect stereo, say, from an MP3) to broadcast perfectly. Any method that will allow specific ASIO ports to loopback to DirectSound or WASAPI would work great. I've done a lot of research but I'm still stuck.
Ive got my audio interface plugged in, Ive got all the settings as you said and I can hear myself back in the headphones although I dont know what through, because Ibve only got obs open and its NOT picking up my mic!

Very helpful i've encountered 1 issue though i noticed my audio is separated guitar on the right side of the headphone vocals on the left side how can i fix that to both end being captured the Guitar and the Vocals tendency is if a viewer only listen to 1 earphone he/she can only hear either yhe guitar or vocals only

Is there a way to separate the 1 and 2 audio channel so I can have 1 with my mic and 2 with my guitar. It's incredibly annoying how i cant use my mic at all if i want to stream the guitar audio and vice versa. Bcs the thing is ONLY audio channel 1 actually gets through to OBS and channel 2 doesnt seem to work AT ALL. And even if it did, I still want to put a VST filter (neural dsp) on my guitar audio so its not just a very mild and quite honestly, BAD clean sound, and so if I use Neural DSP to get dist, a better clean, or whatever, my MICROPHONE also gets it. I dont really feel like speaking with distortion, delay or reverb.
Hi, we're sorry to hear you are having trouble. If you are working with a 4th gen Scarlett, you should be able to combine the inputs to solve this issue, info on how to do so can be found here: support.focusrite.com/hc/en-gb/articles/14653126009490-Scarlett-Solo-4th-Gen-one-or-two-input-app-compatibility#:~:text=Open%20Preferences%20in%20Focusrite%20Control,Input%201%20and%20Input%202. Please let us know if this helps, or if we can assist further.
i bought a scarlett 4i4 3gen a few months ago just because i could use the loopback function in the daw, but one day i realized the loopback function just the same as the OBS Audio Output Capture if you only record low sample rate(
Hi there! Other companies do make software similar to Loopback. It's a personal preference as to which one works best for your setup. Bri // Focusrite US 🇺🇸
Thank you! Now I don't have anymore of that annoying delay that really makes it harder to play and listen at the same time. Really throws me off. Now, however, I don't have the audio filter for my BIAS FX plugin coming through so all I have is the natural guitar sound playing back. Not really great when trying to play heavy music haha, how can I fix this issue?

@@the_shizon3322 Thanks a lot dude! Now, I need to fix the issue where when I watch back my recordings, I can hear the "pre-effects" version of my instrument just slightly playing in the background. lol we're almost getting there! Again, thanks for the help! it's much appreciated!
This did not help me. My FocusRite is getting signal from the 1/4" that goes to a Tip and Ring RCA to my NuMark Mixtrack Platinum FX BUT my Audio Input Capture Source is not receiving signal. It's probably a settings issue either with my PC or OBS as Serato Lite does not have much settings to toy with.
I had this same issue. It seems the Scarlet treats each input as a single line. An RCA to 1/4" RCA Y cable won't work unless you unplug the left or right channel on the RCA side or get an RCA to Dual TRS and plug 1/4" into lines 1 and 2. There may be a way to correct for this in the Focusrite Control software but I wasn't able to find a setting which worked.
I have a 8i6 interface. I am trying to route audio from my DJM900NXS2 mixer to OBS. I have the Master out of the mixer connected to the line inputs, but OBS only allows me to pick only Analog 1+2. How do I get audio from the mixer into OBS?
You can't expand the number of inputs OBS accepts, so you will have to do some channel summing somewhere. You could run the mixer into the interface and then choose the corresponding line in OBS. You could also play around with internal audio routing software/drivers such as Soundflower or BlackHole, which would allow you to use the audio from your DAW as an input in OBS. Hope this helps.
I’ve tried actually everything. I have a iostation24c absolutely everything in every single video I do is correct and it won’t work. I have the mic on my mic and it won’t work. My mic works it’s the apps fault. I have no idea what to do. I have a bluebird xlr condenser mic. Everything’s plugged in. Every other app works perfectly but I can’t hear my mic on any streaming thing like obs or streamlabs. Do you know anything else to try??

I have a focusrite 8prex & i want to facebook live a miced drum kit with 5 mics. only the first two mic inputs on the focusrite work in OBS. How can I make all of them work?
I have beats by Dre studio headphones they are kinda old (prob from 2014/15 or so) and the aux wire doesn’t fit into the scarlet 2i2 audio jack. What size aux cord do I need to buy? I tried monitoring by connecting my headphones to my microphone but it doesn’t work either. And I was using audacity
To stream using the audio from a DAW, you need additional software to route the audio internally. Loopback, Soundflower, and BlackHole are all popular options.

Bro I have the same interface and almost tha same equípment even computer and I made step by step and doesn’t work any advise or extra tips ??
I AM USING AKG CONDENSER MIC AND FOCUSRITE SOLO SOUNDCARD, BUT WHY IS THE MIC SOUND NOT COMING OUT? THERE IS ONLY MUSIC / DESKTOP SOUND.. ANY SOLUTION? THANK YOU
In theory, yes that's certainly possible. The process would be slightly different as you would need to route the DAW audio internally, using a virtual audio cable application. Common options include VB-Audio Virtual Cable (Windows), Soundflower and BlackHole (Mac). If you have a Scarlett 4th Gen audio interface this can also be achieved using the dedicated 'Loopback' feature.
Scarlett 2i2 doesn't have a dedicated Loopback feature but if you're just looking to route audio from your DAW to OBS, you could use an application like Soundflower by Rogue Amoeba.
Is it possible to route mic's input to external speaker using this audio interface device? Need help setting up in-person and virtual meeting on zoom at same time. So in-person participants can listen from external speaker and zoom users through zoom app. I found Mic's input is not routing to external speaker if we connect cable from Line Output to external speaker's Line In.
If we understand you correctly, yes. That's possible. When connected to your computer and selected as the audio input/output device, Scarlett will pass all audio to and from your computer. Audio from your Zoom call will be output to headphones/speakers connected to your Scarlett. A microphone connected to your Scarlett would capture your voice for use in the Zoom call. Our Support Team can help you set this up - bit.ly/CallFocusriteSupport John // Focusrite UK 🇬🇧
If you want to stream audio from a DAW, you will need to use a third party internal routing program i.e., Soundflower. This would be needed to route the outputs of Ableton, to the OBS inputs. Please let us know if this helps or if you have additional questions.
I might be asking a dumb question, but how to get Ableton's DAW output into OBS? The tutorial is for 2 hardware inputs, but never mention using a DAW as a back track for example.
No such thing as a dumb question! If you have a 3rd Gen Scarlett you can use the dedicated Loopback channel to send audio to OBS. If you don't, you'll need a third-party software such as Soundflower or BlackHole to create an aggregate audio device and route the sound internally. We can help sort through this if you want to reach out - bit.ly/FocusriteSupport.
I am using some VST AMPS from my laptop to change the sound of my guitar and I want those effects to be applied and caught by the OBS software, unfortunately, it is only able to get the clean guitar sound and not the effects applied to it, Is there a way to change that? Thanks, really appreciate your support.
It's a little complicated, but there are some VST plugins and other software/driver options out there that can internally route audio so that you can use your DAW's output as an input in OBS. We don't have a specific recommendation for which one to use, as that depends on your OS and your goals, but you'll find many options if you search "how to use DAW output as audio input in OBS".

I have a Scarlett Solo 2nd gen. Will that work? or should I upgrade?
The Scarlett Solo will certainly work with OBS.

my issue is.... getting this setup.... but... having the dry of the guitar and mic muted then having the Daw of my choice run fx for my guitar and mic then out put it to OBS or other apps on my computer. have not found a way to make this work properly for the 18i8 3rd gen. I want to use zoom, xbox companion for party chat, twitch, facebook live... steam, discord.. basically be able to use my guitar fx through anything and everything as well as my mic so I can do a legit Studio Quality recording.
Very helpful i've encountered 1 issue though i noticed my audio is separated guitar on the right side of the headphone vocals on the left side how can i fix that to both end being captured the Guitar and the Vocals tendency is if a viewer only listen to 1 earphone he/she can only hear either yhe guitar or vocals only
Hi Rafael, see from 5:30; select mono in the advanced audio properties, this will have the same mix in both L & R
Would this be the same steps for streaming on RUclips or Twitch?
Essentially, yes. Our Support Team can explain, if you need assistance - bit.ly/CallFocusriteSupport
Do you have a video explaining how to get obs to work with a DAW using the loopback feature. I can never seem to get it to work.
Heres a video that might help: ruclips.net/video/1n9E7MysMLQ/видео.html

one question mate...... can i take the output from a mixer as input into the focusrite interface then OBS??
Yes, in theory that's possible. The process would be very similar to the setup demonstrated here.
Great video.. But i have an issue.. i don't have any options for desktop audio.. help pls only says disabled
Is there a way to separate the 1 and 2 audio channel so I can have 1 with my mic and 2 with my guitar. It's incredibly annoying how i cant use my mic at all if i want to stream the guitar audio and vice versa. Bcs the thing is ONLY audio channel 1 actually gets through to OBS and channel 2 doesnt seem to work AT ALL. And even if it did, I still want to put a VST filter (neural dsp) on my guitar audio so its not just a very mild and quite honestly, BAD clean sound, and so if I use Neural DSP to get dist, a better clean, or whatever, my MICROPHONE also gets it. I dont really feel like speaking with distortion, delay or reverb.
Hi, we're sorry to hear you are having trouble. If you are working with a 4th gen Scarlett, you should be able to combine the inputs to solve this issue, info on how to do so can be found here:

Please let us know if this helps, or if we can assist further.
i bought a scarlett 4i4 3gen a few months ago just because i could use the loopback function in the daw, but one day i realized the loopback function just the same as the OBS Audio Output Capture if you only record low sample rate(
Hi there! Other companies do make software similar to Loopback. It's a personal preference as to which one works best for your setup.

Thank you! Now I don't have anymore of that annoying delay that really makes it harder to play and listen at the same time. Really throws me off. Now, however, I don't have the audio filter for my BIAS FX plugin coming through so all I have is the natural guitar sound playing back. Not really great when trying to play heavy music haha, how can I fix this issue?
I found a great solution to all this bs. I was having no luck also. So watch this video. ruclips.net/video/tj54m6vl38M/видео.html. You just need to download Reaper (Free) and use the ReaStream plugin in Reaper and in OBS / StreamLabs. It's a quick video and it works perfectly. Zero Latency. I'm running a full Reaper scene with EZBass, Steven Slate drums and Archetype Gojira and it's flawless.
@@the_shizon3322 Thanks a lot dude! Now, I need to fix the issue where when I watch back my recordings, I can hear the "pre-effects" version of my instrument just slightly playing in the background. lol we're almost getting there! Again, thanks for the help! it's much appreciated!
This did not help me. My FocusRite is getting signal from the 1/4" that goes to a Tip and Ring RCA to my NuMark Mixtrack Platinum FX BUT my Audio Input Capture Source is not receiving signal. It's probably a settings issue either with my PC or OBS as Serato Lite does not have much settings to toy with.
I had this same issue. It seems the Scarlet treats each input as a single line. An RCA to 1/4" RCA Y cable won't work unless you unplug the left or right channel on the RCA side or get an RCA to Dual TRS and plug 1/4" into lines 1 and 2. There may be a way to correct for this in the Focusrite Control software but I wasn't able to find a setting which worked.
Thank U.
I have a 8i6 interface. I am trying to route audio from my DJM900NXS2 mixer to OBS. I have the Master out of the mixer connected to the line inputs, but OBS only allows me to pick only Analog 1+2. How do I get audio from the mixer into OBS?
You can't expand the number of inputs OBS accepts, so you will have to do some channel summing somewhere. You could run the mixer into the interface and then choose the corresponding line in OBS. You could also play around with internal audio routing software/drivers such as Soundflower or BlackHole, which would allow you to use the audio from your DAW as an input in OBS. Hope this helps.
I’ve tried actually everything. I have a iostation24c absolutely everything in every single video I do is correct and it won’t work. I have the mic on my mic and it won’t work. My mic works it’s the apps fault. I have no idea what to do. I have a bluebird xlr condenser mic. Everything’s plugged in. Every other app works perfectly but I can’t hear my mic on any streaming thing like obs or streamlabs.
Do you know anything else to try??
We're sorry to hear you are having trouble. There are a number of possible causes for this, so it would be best to reach out to our support team for further assistance. They can be reached at the link below:

I have a focusrite 8prex & i want to facebook live a miced drum kit with 5 mics. only the first two mic inputs on the focusrite work in OBS. How can I make all of them work?
is this only for a single computer setup? im trying to capture my latop system with a scarlet 2i2 onto my pc through capture into an obs
I have beats by Dre studio headphones they are kinda old (prob from 2014/15 or so) and the aux wire doesn’t fit into the scarlet 2i2 audio jack. What size aux cord do I need to buy? I tried monitoring by connecting my headphones to my microphone but it doesn’t work either. And I was using audacity
It sounds like you might need a 3.5mm Jack to 1/4 inch Jack adapter.
@@FocusriteHelp thank you! I’ll head over to an electronics shop to get one
Thanks and how to do streaming using focusrite 2i2, OBS and FL Studio
Are you hoping to stream your FL Studio workflow on Facebook? If so, the process is much the same as that explained here.
To stream using the audio from a DAW, you need additional software to route the audio internally. Loopback, Soundflower, and BlackHole are all popular options.
Bro I have the same interface and almost tha same equípment even computer and I made step by step and doesn’t work any advise or extra tips ??
You can use the reaper plugin. One of the easiest way
I AM USING AKG CONDENSER MIC AND FOCUSRITE SOLO SOUNDCARD, BUT WHY IS THE MIC SOUND NOT COMING OUT? THERE IS ONLY MUSIC / DESKTOP SOUND.. ANY SOLUTION? THANK YOU
How to add reverb on your mic? Thanks in advance
My Liquid saffire 56 doesnt recognize MICs on OBS Mic Capture... i tried so many times and did not work
Can you use this technique to stream a session on your DAW?
In theory, yes that's certainly possible. The process would be slightly different as you would need to route the DAW audio internally, using a virtual audio cable application. Common options include VB-Audio Virtual Cable (Windows), Soundflower and BlackHole (Mac). If you have a Scarlett 4th Gen audio interface this can also be achieved using the dedicated 'Loopback' feature.
What if I want to get audio from the input 3-8 into OBS?
How to add separate effects to the microphone and guitar on obs?
What if I need to use backing tracks? Does Scarlett 2i2 support loopback of the same like the Presonus revelator?
Scarlett 2i2 doesn't have a dedicated Loopback feature but if you're just looking to route audio from your DAW to OBS, you could use an application like Soundflower by Rogue Amoeba.
@@FocusriteHelp thank you, but I'm using windows 10, any good suggestion for windows?
Is it possible to route mic's input to external speaker using this audio interface device? Need help setting up in-person and virtual meeting on zoom at same time. So in-person participants can listen from external speaker and zoom users through zoom app. I found Mic's input is not routing to external speaker if we connect cable from Line Output to external speaker's Line In.
If we understand you correctly, yes. That's possible. When connected to your computer and selected as the audio input/output device, Scarlett will pass all audio to and from your computer. Audio from your Zoom call will be output to headphones/speakers connected to your Scarlett. A microphone connected to your Scarlett would capture your voice for use in the Zoom call.

I see the video in the preview but when I stream to Facebook I get a black screen. So far no one has been able to help me.
Soo what about adding Ableton to this whole equation? Like if I want to stream guitar production in actual Ableton projects.
Stuck on that one rn lmao
If you want to stream audio from a DAW, you will need to use a third party internal routing program i.e., Soundflower. This would be needed to route the outputs of Ableton, to the OBS inputs. Please let us know if this helps or if you have additional questions.
I might be asking a dumb question, but how to get Ableton's DAW output into OBS? The tutorial is for 2 hardware inputs, but never mention using a DAW as a back track for example.
No such thing as a dumb question! If you have a 3rd Gen Scarlett you can use the dedicated Loopback channel to send audio to OBS. If you don't, you'll need a third-party software such as Soundflower or BlackHole to create an aggregate audio device and route the sound internally. We can help sort through this if you want to reach out - bit.ly/FocusriteSupport.
What do you do if you got a 2011 MacBook Pro?
I am using some VST AMPS from my laptop to change the sound of my guitar and I want those effects to be applied and caught by the OBS software, unfortunately, it is only able to get the clean guitar sound and not the effects applied to it, Is there a way to change that? Thanks, really appreciate your support.
It's a little complicated, but there are some VST plugins and other software/driver options out there that can internally route audio so that you can use your DAW's output as an input in OBS. We don't have a specific recommendation for which one to use, as that depends on your OS and your goals, but you'll find many options if you search "how to use DAW output as audio input in OBS".
