Vmix audio7/13/2023 ![]() ![]() If you use a professional stack-my video stack is SDI-based-this is completely inadequate. For HDMI captures, you might have an audio takeoff or you might use an HDMI extractor, which is.fine, such as it is, but suboptimal. It becomes concretely painful when you have video inputs that also have sound attached. #1: that USB mixer acts as a mixer only for inputs that you can plug into that mixer. (There is one moderately better one I will cover. Which is to say that along the way I've done each of the options you outline. It's about getting controllable audio that scales when you're running a nontrivial live video show my yearly charity event is 24 hours long and typically runs 5 cameras, and between 6 and 12 audio feeds, not all of which are coming in over XLR). So it's not about getting "fantastic sounding audio". To be clear: I am a semi-professional A/V engineer, it's not my day job but I produce pretty large shows. In the end, you can get fantastic sounding audio with any of the above approaches and with #1 and #3 you can do it with any application where as with #2 you're limited to OBS only (which isn't a bad thing if you spend your time streaming and primarily recording with it anyways). This takes a bit of initial set up but technically would work with any app, not just OBS and this is what I used to do before going with #1 because I didn't want to run all of these apps every time I wanted to start recording. From here you can use various VSTs and then use Jack (or comparable software) to redirect REAPER's output as input to another app (such as OBS). You can use REAPER (free but you should register it, sort of like Sublime Text) which is a DAW. No hardware needed except for your mic.ģ. OBS has VST plugin support, so you can directly use hundreds of free VSTs to do various effects in real time without needing to mess around with audio redirection. It's just a mic from your computer's point of view.Ģ. and now that becomes your final source of audio so you don't need to process it with software. You can buy a hardware USB audio interface + mixer for ~$200-400ish total which can do compression, basic EQs, noise gate, has multiple inputs, etc. ![]() vMix literally got $700 out of me because it integrated a good, ASIO-capable mixer into it.įair enough but audio is a completely different animal that can be tamed in a number of ways:ġ. But I switched to vMix as my primary video mixing software and won't look back until OBS has significantly better audio management. ![]()
