    After trying sooo many things, including Method 1 here, I was so frustrated. Then, I read another tutorial that mentioned "restart your computer" after all the multi-output settings changes. It works!!! OMG. I'm so happy!! Apple is evil for making us go through this!

    Bro you don't even know. All the problems and complications that I have come across setting up my streaming, you have been the only person online that's been able to fix everything. I'm not even kidding, with all the other dudes I've always had some problems... then I came across your videos and it's fixed like magic. I'll start streaming soon thanks to you bro, you don't know how grateful I am.

    This works, thanks, as with using Soundflower, Midi, Preferences and Quicktime . . . but does anyone else have the same thought? Why the heck is it so complex on the Mac OS to do something so simple and so commonly requested. Recording audio and / or video should be simple and not involve an add on app and creating virtual outputs and inputs while disabling standard inputs and outputs.

    I could not get this to work on the M1 mac Mini running Monterey. I had to switch back to my windows machine because everything works with no issues. Maybe I will switch back when apple and the software people get things worked out. but for now, I have to get work done and this mac is acting like the windows machines from the early 200 where nothing works without some sort of extreme tweaking.

  • @steveforwarduk
    @steveforwarduk 2 года назад +1

    I have no idea why audio into OBS, especially in 2022, is so convoluted, awkward, and klunky..
    Let me highlight the issues I have helped people with, and faced myself, still to this day....
    Getting audio from a DAW > OBS.
    Windows 7 - ReaStream worked great with Reaper to OBS.
    Windows 7 - Using Cubase and ReaStream as a plugin would crash Cubase.
    Solved this issue, by using the UR824 interface's Loopback. However this created more problems.
    Loopback on the UR824 is set to default on inputs 1+2. Guess where the Hi-Z inputs are? 1+2 :)
    So I have to plug my mic into channel 3, and, using a separate D.I. Box for my guitar, to make it a balanced signal, in channel 4.
    Windows 10 - ReaStream would refuse to send any audio out to OBS. like, refused. no matter what. I solved this by getting the ASIO plugin for OBS and using ReaRoute in Reaper.
    However, you now have to put an ASIO capture source on EVERY single scene. what about nested scenes in OBS? what do you then? if you nest a scene in another scene, and that nested scene has ReaRoute ASIO capture on it, you'll get double output. :)
    Recently, a friend of mine, has been having some issues with getting the desktop audio out from his mac M1 mini to OBS. He was routing Ableton > Blackhole > OBS, but despite having a Focusrite 3rd gen 18i20 with Loopback facility, it still would not send any of the Loopback signal to OBS.
    I've heard so many people complain that this is a problem, that companies must know by now that we're all sick and tired of this issue.
    I came here looking for a solution, but as soon as he mentioned Blackhole, that was where we started with initally. Surely on a mac with an 18i20 Scarlett interface, you should just be able to turn on Loopback (On channels 9+10) and all of the audio will come out in OBS. not so.
    Reastream, ReaRoute, Loopback, all have their issues. plus wether any of them work or not, is extremely hit and miss. as for audio routing on a mac, I feel sorry for mac users!
    It's all political, and companies want to keep us guessing.
    Shame it needs to be this complicated.

    Dear MidnightMan, First of all, thank you for your priceless video.
    I have a question to ask you.
    If I want to record screen sound I have to set video preferences > Sound > Output and Input on BlackHole.
    Because if I don't set the output as well, the screen audio won't be recorded.
    Unfortunately, by setting BlackHole as the output, I cannot hear the audio at the same time while recording.
    Do you have any advice for this kind of problem?
    Thanks for any help.

    So this is good for doing reaction videos? 🤔
    I just wanna be able to react to things & not have to turn up my volume on my speakers & not have my mic pick up the computer audio
