Hello, my YouTube friends.
Today's video is sponsored by OWN3D, but I'll talk more about that
later.
Live streaming audio used to be a complicated thing.
It used to be that you had to just capture desktop audio and get
everything or install a set of complicated virtual cables to separate
out your audio sources.
Not anymore.
There's a free plugin for Windows OBS that does it all.
So today I'm gonna show you how it works and it's really easy.
So let's get to it.
Likes and comments are a super easy thing that you can do to help push
this video to a wider audience.
So take a second down below and let me know how I'm doing.
And while you're there, why not subscribe?
It's totally free.
And it really does help me continue to make content that helps you.
So thanks.
First, let's install the plugin.
Now I did a video on this plugin before, but it's been completely
redone and it looks totally different and it has some really cool new
features too, as always, there are links in the description, so you
can download it and follow along.
So in this page, we're just gonna go over here to the right go to
download, and it's gonna bring us here and we just wanna select this
install one right here.
It's the top one.
We just click on it and download it.
Then we go to our downloads page and double click on it.
And then we just want to click next through here and install.
When you get to this page here, you just wanna verify that it is the
correct OBS directory.
In my case, I'm installing it on the E drive and it's OBS dash studio.
In your case, it's probably gonna be C program files, OBS dash studio.
Once you verify that it's the proper location, just click next and
then next and then install.
And for me, it's gonna tell me that I'm running OBS and it has to shut
it down, which is what I'm using to record this video.
So just click next through this and finish when you're done and
everything will be installed and ready to use.
OWN3D is a website that offers anything a Twitch streamer could
possibly want.
On OWN3D.tv
there are thousands of overlay packs with alerts and stingers built in
as well as emotes and badges.
And like I said, just about everything you could want, but what really
excites me is the OWN3D pro site.
On OWN3D pro you download a plugin for OBS and in OBS, you can browse
and select from thousands of overlay packs that download and are set
up completely right out of the gate, in OBS, you can add alerts and
labels and modify the text and even create custom layouts in just a
few minutes.
And they all have custom stingers that are set up with the profile.
So you don't have to do anything.
You just download them and they're ready to go.
In just a few minutes, you're gonna have a professional stream that
looks like you spent a million bucks.
The best part is for just a few bucks a month.
And I mean, less than that crappy Netflix subscription, you never use
anyways.
You're gonna have access to every single one.
So you could change it up on every stream in just a few minutes, if
you really wanted to.
So take a second and check out OWN3D TV and OWN3D pro down below,
there are links in the description for each one.
If you have the means to support the sponsors that support this
channel, it goes a long way towards helping me continue to make
content that helps you.
So thanks.
Now let's get back to setting up, win audio in OBS.
There are two ways you may wanna set this up for your audio.
First, I'm gonna show you how to add each source separately.
So in order to separate our audio, what we're gonna do is we're gonna
click the plus under sources for the scene that we want to add this
to.
And we're gonna go to application, audio output, capture all the way
at the top.
And we'll just name this, the audio that we want to add in this case
music.
And I'm gonna click, okay.
And the easiest way to do this is to go down here to session and drop
this down.
Now, if you don't see the application that you're looking for, the
best thing to do is click play and make sure the audio is playing on
the application that you're looking for.
In my case, Spotify didn't show up right away.
I had to actually close it again and reopen it and click play.
And then it finally showed up in here.
So then I just select it.
And then, I click add executable and then all I have to do is click
okay.
And now you can see that our music is down here in our audio mixer.
And if I drag it over here, you can see, I have Spotify playing and we
have music in our live stream.
Now let's click the plus and add another audio source.
We'll go up to application, audio output capture, and let's call this
one game audio and we'll click, okay.
And I'm gonna drop this down.
And I currently have lost ark playing in the background.
So I'm gonna select that.
Then all we have to do is click add executable, and then we can click
okay.
And now we can see that lost ark is playing.
And if I click it right here, we can see that it's open and we're
getting the music from the lost ark intro.
Now, if I click the plus and go to application, audio output capture,
we can call this guest audio.
And what we'll do is we'll drop this down.
We'll select discord and we'll add the executable click, okay.
And you can see if I drag discord over here, I don't have any audio
playing, but it is added in.
So if we did add audio there, we could hear it.
Next, we'll go to application, audio output capture, and we're going
to add a YouTube scene and we'll click, okay.
We just need to drop this down and select where our YouTube scene is
playing.
In my case, it's on Firefox.
Then we add the executable click, okay.
And we'll quickly split the screen here.
And now if I go ahead and I play it, and then let's just expand our
audio sources here so we can see them better.
And we can see our YouTube video is playing.
And if I pause it on YouTube, the audio goes away.
When I start it on YouTube, it starts up again.
So we can add all of our audio sources completely separately using
this.
And it's really, really easy to do.
The new plugin setup adds another cool way of parsing out your audio.
I think using this me method can really streamline your stream audio
and make it a lot less complicated.
Let me show you how it works.
For this method that we're gonna do the same thing.
We're gonna click the plus, and we're gonna go to application, audio
output capture.
And in this case, I'm going to call this one stream, audio and click
okay.
And what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go down here and I'm gonna select
all of the things that I want the stream to be able to hear.
In this case, it would be discord audio for my guests and my game
audio right there.
That's lost ark, and then I'm gonna click, okay.
Cuz that's all the audio that I want my audience to hear, but maybe I
want to be listening to something during the live stream.
So I'm just gonna go ahead and click the plus and select our
application, audio output capture again.
And I'm just gonna call this one, me audio and click okay.
And then I'm gonna drop this down right here and I'm gonna select
Spotify cuz I wanna listen to music while I'm live streaming, but it's
copyrighted music and I can't stream it.
So I don't want my audience to be able to actually hear it.
So I'm just going to go ahead and add that executable.
And there we go.
So now I have audio for me and I have audio for the stream.
Next I just have to configure it.
So that's who hears it.
So I'm gonna right click on any of the audio properties here and I'm
gonna go in to advanced audio property and you can see my camera's
listed.
Obviously I don't need to hear that.
So monitor off is just fine, but for me audio, I'm gonna go ahead and
drop this down and I'm going to select monitor only because I want the
output to the stream muted.
I don't want the stream to be able to hear it.
And then for my stream audio, well I want to be able to hear my guests
and I also want to be able to hear the game.
So I'm going to select monitor and output so I can hear all that stuff
as well.
This makes it so easy to separate your audio into categories of who
gets to hear it and who doesn't and how you want it set up.
And I really think this is an awesome feature for creating different
audio profiles for your live stream, that you can easily just toss in
any scene.
Awesome stuff.
