Is there a way to let music play in the background of a brb scene (or similar) without desktop audio? Also, I need to know how to compress a stinger and an alert I did, into a transparent WebM with good audio.

[@Vinsides]

add a VLC video source and use it to play your music (supports music files and playlists). it'll show up as a separate audio source in your mixer. mute your desktop audio and keep the VLC video source playing.

[@trickstabbed]

the fact that this guy's background and sweater concept accord perfectly to his eyes is pure art

[@JumbalayahJihad]

The separate audio track segment blew my mind. Finally, I can record a game session with the bois on separate audio tracks without using multiple, complicated instances of Audacity!

[@virus1]

For someone Knowing very little about OBS. This went over my HEAD. I wish someone would set me up. I just bought a 32 streaming deck too.

[@SeriousAmaro]

For those that were as confused as me when they didn't find the separated track selection under .mkv format... first you have to set your output settings to advanced

[@ikhwan49]

can i use the direct to mp4 output instead of mkv format? it will still seperate or not?

[@zuyadragon]

@@ikhwan49 using the direct to MP4 format means that if something happens to your OBS while recording you will lose the entire file. MKV means that you'll still have the file. MP4 is never suggested for recording stream video due to the risk of losing an entire file if your system loses power or your program crashes.

[@Zeionn]

If you could dive into how you separate your game audio, discord and mic that would be super helpful! I've watched some other videos and tried using bananamix or whatever it's called and it always seems to break my audio and give me some super weird audio problems. Cheers man!

[@carbustel]

Yea same problem here, voice meter is very annoying to use on a laptop, i just want to mute discord while recording, i cant belive its so hard to do so...at this point i think is imposible to achieve this.

[@billyanderson3652]

@@carbustel Download voicemeeter banana, set your discord output speaker as your VB audio cable, set your headphones as your VB audio cable repeat(Within Voicemeeter banana). Now you should be able to hear all discord audio, because it's going through the virtual cable and back to your headphones. Then, set one of your OBS audio tracks to record your VB audio cable as an input, and title it Discord. Now, when you're editing your content, there should be 3 audio tracks. Desktop audio (headphones), your mic, and VB audio cable (Discord audio). Now you can either delete the discord track or mute it where you want to. Note that Voicemeeter will always need to running in foreground or background so that it can relay your audio. If you have any questions feel free to reply!

Hello. I was wondering how one can have text scroll up to a picture, then go above the picture and continue scrolling, without scrolling over the picture... so it would be like 2 scrolls, one spaced at the bottom, and one spaced above the picture that has the scrolling text from the bottom handed off to it?

[@HamVR]

Some useful tips their, especially the nested scenes. I think you might have made a minor mistake at 7:07 about which audio tracks are used in the stream broadcast. In OBS Studio in Settings Output-> streaming tab, if you specify 'advanced mode' (and not 'simple mode'), you pick via a radio button which track you want to broadcast and it's default to track 1 only. Something for users to watch out for. In 'Simple Mode' I'm guessing all tracks are merged into the stream output then? I've not tried that myself so I can't confirm either way, cheers.

[@matthewwilder93]

Great video. I switched to Streamlabs earlier this year and have been progressively dissatisfied with it over the last few months. A friend of mine switched back to OBS, and I think I'm ready to do the same. Also, the plugin video would be a great watch as well! So I'll look forward to seeing that!

[@jaylani206]

where did you get the URLS for the custom docks? specifically the preview?

[@Egobyte83]

3:30 .. Keep in mind though, even if you use a custom browser dock for Stream Labels, you still need to have the Stream Labels app open in order for any on screen text-based widgets to refresh properly. If you have labels on your overlay, the OBS Studio activity widget won’t work if you only use the docked recent events window. The Stream Labels app saves everything to a txt file that OBS Studio reads for recent followers and such, but it needs for Stream Labels to be open in order to do that.

[@GoronMegazord]

Never realized OBS had the multi audio track thing. Thank you! One question though: what is the URL code you're using to add a Twitch Stream Preview that automatically goes to full screen at 3:58?

[@Swindy]

RE separate audio tracks, it's been my experience in OBS Studio that you have 6 tracks, and when you set your stream output, you chose one of those tracks to broadcast. Pete has the right idea though. What I do is set my OBS output to broadcast audio track 1 then make sure everything that I want to be included in the broadcast is output to track 1 along with the a separate track For example: Desktop goes to track 1 + 2 Mic goes to track 1 + 3 Music goes to track 1 + 4 Discord/VOIP goes to track 1 + 5 Alerts/effects etc go to track 1 + 6

[@ChristaDoodles]

Hi mate, I hope you can help me with a problem I'm having with OBS. The display capture will not work (nothing shows up on the screen apart from the box image of OBS. However, if I start recording or Streaming it does work, but only if I minimize OBS which means I can't see any comments. I have set everything up as in your videos, accounting for the change in the video display. Also when I go into the options tab for the display capture the only thing in the display dropdown box is ( Display 1: 1152x864 @ 0,0 ) I have tried the Game capture and that almost works the game image comes up on OBS however its a frozen screen and I can't interact with it. Everything ells work's great if I'm recording or streaming with my Webcam I have no problems with OBS. But if I want to stream a game or even just an image with my webcam in the corner that's when the problems start unless I minimize OBS but like I said if I do that I cant see the chatbox and other stuff. I know you're going to ask so hears some info about my PC.

[@IamNinetyFour]

Perhaps i'm wrong, but if you're using ADVANCED for outputting, streaming will only output 1 audio channel. I've been recording all audio to separate channels and whenever I re-setup my OBS, this is the first thing I check. I've actually done a stream somewhat recently without my microphone channel being checked on the channel selected for the streaming output. Overall great video GC, but I would double check this one. I hope I'm wrong, but I feel like I'm not.

[@sarafsc23]

Hi, been watching your videos, and I must say these are very helpful tips! - Great content! Hopefully you can help me... I have an Elgato HD60s+ when I open my OBS I have no game audio at all. - I've checked on 4K Capture Utility as well. I've been looking through and had a look at the audio settings and got it changed from HDMI to analog, I've checked my drivers, I've unplugged and plugged every cable and still no game audio. The idea is to get into live streaming, but so far this is the biggest issue. I'll be streaming from a PS4 Pro, and then try and sort out the audio chat with the chat link cable later. At the moment my main priority really is to get the game audio coming through to OBS. Any advice? thank you in advance

[@Voldrak]

Nested Scenes seem pretty useful for the fact you can turn them on and off easily but the rest of the functional should be reproducible with copy and paste as reference i think. Also thanks for the code! Was gonna purchase a second one of the packages but I was heavily considering it until I got it for 50% off, so thanks!

[@LumetricVODs]

There's a way in Streamlabs OBS where you can have it record your gameplay but capture only the scenes you want it to. That doesn't seem to be something that OBS can do? Am I right or is there some hidden gem of knowledge I just don't know. Love the channel, you're always a great source of information. :)

[@Glanzern]

Easier to name nested scenes "__WEB_CAM" -- I make all nested scenes start with two __ if they are global or just one if they are a scene specific nested scene (for filters). And always cap the nested scenes and normal scenes aren't capitalized. [NS] everywhere is cluttered af.

[@BlisterEye]

Thanks! I would also recommend the transition matrix plug-in, to have even greater control over the transitions such as coming back from the AFK scene, you could have different stingers for your game or your desktop scene. You've got great content.

Why does your OBS UI look so different then mine? Your audio metering on the left is a cleaner ballistic profile and the overall layout looks very different? Also, (as I am a mixer by trade), how are you routing desktop audio like iTunes or spotify to a separate input in OBS? I have not ben able to sort that out. I can get isolated Mics and inputs.

Like literally just a drawing program, no fancy features, no filters, nothing. But my viewers should see the whole thing. How do I do that? OBS by defaults records the stream with all of the junk.
