Get your DAW Audio Output in OBS Studio and send it to Twitch, Youtube, Skype, Discord, Zoom, etc...

[Software Linked Below!] This is a tutorial video on how to use various plugins and drivers with OBS so that you can send audio from your music applications using ASIO drivers in Windows, things like Cubase, Digital Performer, Ableton, Renoise, or in this case, Reaper, out into the internet on streaming platforms like Twitch and KZbin. Further, we can use OBS's own functionality and additional plugins to make it function like a virtual webcam, having it effectively mix both its audio and video to become inputs into telephony software like Skype, Zoom, Slack, Discord, and other applications.
Software used:
OBS: obsproject.com/
Reaper: reaper.fm/
ReaStream w/ ReaPlugs VST FX Suite: www.reaper.fm/reaplugs/
VB-CABLE Virtual Audio Device: www.vb-audio.com/Cable/
OBS-VirtualCam 2.0.4: obsproject.com/forum/resource...

I've looked over about 15 videos for this solution. Yours is the first to work. Thank you.

I did not please help me I can give teamviewer. please guys ı use to cubase

Same here, thank you! :D

[@pedrosacramento5320]

Same here, except I didn't try his yet, but it was the best I've seen so far. Hopefully it works now

[@marjanmarkelj7130]

i just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. have been trying to ages to find such a great way of streaming daw audio to zoom and other services. every other solution goes around several corners, this is the best one so far! thank you!

[@julioemmanuelespina7493]

Dude, I'm so glad this popped up in my feed. Eternally grateful for this.

[@ZakRahman]

If this doesn't work, check your sample rates! When I tried this, my session was in 44.1 and OBS was trying to output 48kHz. The end results was that it didn't pick anything up. A foolish error on my part, but I felt that I'd share it. A huge thank you to Mr Diamante for taking the time to do this. It has surely helped thousands already.

[@dougnulton]

Dude, thank you! As expressed by other people, this was the first video that made it work for me. No one was explaining that I needed to re-install the Reaper plugins at a specific file location for OBS to find them. I’m so used to being able to dictate this file location for Reaper to find them, but couldn’t figure out where OBS expected these files to be.

[@dsg_studio]

This has been an actual game changer teaching zoom music lessons during the pandemic and beyond. Thank you!

[@christiangomez6239]

You went the extra step of other tutorials with the audio output vs input distinction. That was the step that solved my frustrations. Thank you!

[@anndynegative]

This might be the single most important video for music streamers

[@TheAlexKelley]

after trying to mess around with the voicemeeter stuff this has been the absolute best way for me to get everything working in OBS thank you SOOOOO much for this

[@mthrfckrmike]

After countless videos watched without success, yours was simple, straight to the point and explained everything needed in the process. Thank you for solving my headache man, you are the best

[@ttors]

Give this man a medal!! I'm finally able to get the sound out from my DAW into OBS without any latency or soundcrackle. It took 5 minutes and it works... it WORKS!! I don't know how many videos and tutorials I've been going through, but to no avail. From the bottom of my heart; thank you!

[@Avant5]

Amazing. So well paced, covered all the steps, details and the pitfalls perfectly. I never would have figured this out. Thank you so much!

[@Sh1tP0stM4nia]

THIS MAN IS A GOD!!!! It's been at least 20 hours over multiple weeks of trying to record ableton sound & screencapture & vocals with quality audio. This video finally showed me the light. Thank you Vincent Diamante, you are a true legend.

[@StayClassy635]

Been trying to get this to work on and off for months and just gave up. A friend was helping me over Discord and found this video and I was FINALLY able to get it to work. You sir are amazing!!

[@upstairstudio371]

I'm gonna just throw this on top of the pile. THANK GOD FOR THIS MAN! I just about stopped making videos becuase i couldnt get OBS figured out. You deserve so much more credit and attention on youtube. In all truth you have saved my teeny tiny channel. Thank you so SO much!

[@mafu8583]

Spent the last 2 days searching for a way to send my audio from my DAW to discord. This was the guide that helped me out. If anyone ever asks how to set this up I'm sending them straight here. Thank you so much!

[@sleepyserf777]

Vincent, you've been a massive help to me in this process. incredibly to the point, incredibly accurate. thank you.

[@itamar_ok]

By far the clearest, most concise and most comprehensive video on the topic

[@AmritP]

thanks so much Vincent, this is fantastic ! exactly what i needed, not only for discord/teams (virtual jam sessions with friends) but also i can easier do those '1 take' self recordings of myself in OBS just for quickly sharing some progress with my guitar teacher - was perfect to capture my audio from reaper (neural dsp plugins), backing track playing, and my headset microphone at same time. before this i was recording bunch of separate audio tracks and manually mixing them together, it was such a chore.

[@JefePlaysDrums]

Man I cannot thank you enough for making this video. It was 100% exactly what I needed and I ran into no issues with the setup (mostly). Thank you thank you thank you

[@batucertel]

Thanks a lot for this really clear tutorial! If anyone is still having problems, add a media source, load a silent wav. track in there, loop it. Then add the reastream plug-in on that media source

[@SeanofAllTrades]

Thank you a thousand times for explaining about setting it up as an input. This was driving me absolutely crazy!

[@TimIsABat]

I've been looking everywhere for this. My friends and I enjoy doing karaoke or playing music while in our Discord chat and I've been dying to get them to be able to hear my guitar and better reverb for vocals. Going to try this later when they are on to see if it works. If it does then you are a real life saver man. I use both reaper and recently got Ableton.

[@tahrky84]

I rarely put comment on KZbin, but like others, after dozens of video which wasn't working, I used your video to stream Bias FX as a VST directly in OBS, then on Discord to share with my friends. Thanks you so much ! Really clean explanations, and truely working.

[@jeppxpadilla]

This has to be the best video I've seen about this topic. Thank you!

[@cThreep]

THANK YOU! Reaper is my DAW and the solution has been staring at me in the face this whole time haha.

[@ChurchyPlays]

Thank you so much for this. ReaStream was what I've needed all day and this video helped me finally fixed the issues I was having! You're a legend!

[@vkjs2]

Hi Vincent, this is absolutely awesome! Tutorial does everything it should and not a word too much!

[@leopoldbluesky]

Hey Vincent, I just wanted to add my thanks. using your tutorial I was able to get Reaper streaming in Zoom perfectly. Cheers!

[@VIVEMusic]

This helped massively man, thank you! Had to go through different hoops, and this worked for me the best.

[@Loatar]

Another comment to let you know how helpful this video was. Like many others, I spent all night searching for solutions that didn't work and yours worked on the first try with no hassle. THANK YOU.

[@adorethered]

THANK YOU! I've fought with terrible latency and other apps like voicemeeter for so long and kept getting next to no good results. Can't believe a reaper plugin was the answer all along :D this is amazing.

[@MatteoKysely]

That Reaper plugin helped so much, thank you, I've watched all other kinds of videos that were just confusing and didn't seem to look like what I was looking for, but this was exactly what I was trying to find, and it even showed an extra thing (the route to mic thing).

[@jackshadows2893]

Thank you a thousand times for this tutorial, your suggestions totally worked . I am a huge reaper user and that's what I needed it for. Many thanks once again! 👍

[@JaredGunstonTV]

Finally!!! You've solved a prob I've had for about a year. Will be sharing this method.

[@thequarryproductions1101]

I've just spent 4 hours trying to get around the issue that happened at 5:00. Uninstalled and reinstalled everything, then there was no plugins being detected, then Reaper was acting up which is unusual for me. Untold amounts of hair ripped out because I didn't even consider you're work around using the input and the gain down. You have saved me so much time, and now rather than stream I think I should just go to bed. Thank you for the video.

[@stephenschappler]

Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing this info Vincent!

[@danilocongiu8583]

As many other people, I was struggling too to get audio from Reaper to OBS in a good way, your tutorial was simply perfect. The need of selecting unused device as input in OBS was what created problems, the gain trick...well, did the trick! Really thankful for your help, also now I'm curious to hear your 114 (!!!!!!) tracks project :) My bands can now stream live from reharsal room in perfect quality, synced with video, with zero effort. Amazing man, keep it up!

[@anthonynieves7095]

Lifesaver stuff here man! Specially due the current conditions, thank you!

[@JohnDoe-op7lu]

Mind Blown at 2:57! Absolutely correct. As soon as I changed my Restream VST Plugin to that directory. Done! Mad props brother. I spent like half a day searching forums until I found a link to you. So much time trying to figure out why OBS was not seeing my plugin correctly. DAW (Waveform Free) was fine, no problems but dang OBS. Well done again

For anyone struggling: be sure to place the VST on your MASTER BUS. I was trying to do this for a solo live performance and spent over an hour trying to get it to work while having it active on a solo audio/recording track. Hope this prevents someone from doing what I did. Thank you Vincent for making this video.

Sorry to hear that, hope the performance turned out ok!

[@Milehighshred]

Beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing this :D I had a low latency monitoring feature selected with my focusrite, and that actually prevented the reastream plug-in from working. After turning off the low latency monitoring, it worked!

[@Nadav_Zaidman]

ive been struggling with this for months... you saved me!!!! thank you so much!!!!

[@silaratech]

Simply the BEST!!! I have a FocusRite Scarlett 2i2 Gen3 that USBs to 2 Audio channels in Windows 10. However, Microsoft Teams only accepts one channel (USB1 audio) only. I hit MONO in OBS and used Vincent's method to install BOTH plugins and as long as I run OBS I can now have 2 channels mixed to that one audio channel in Teams. Great workaround!

[@irsounds]

Wooo! You really saved me here dude! The install path for the reastream plugin was the solution, Finally :)

This was the missing puzzle piece that it took to get things working. Thank you.

[@cusithe7076]

Good grief, the amount of time I have spent trying to get this working in an easy way.... and here is the answer! Before this, I was using the ASIO plugin in OBS, but had to connect cables on the back of my 6i6 from outputs 3 and 4 into inputs 3 and 4 and change the mix in Cubase to send to 3 and 4 as well as regular 1 and 2 stereo, which was a pain (and also made Cubase have some pops). Now, bingo, just reastream in Cubase stereo master and same in OBS, and it works with no cables or fuss! Never found this during repeated searches, but it popped up randomly, and thank goodness it did :) Thank you!

[@SetoNess]

Couldn't figure out how to get up and running but this video cracked the code - 'Gain' before the Reastream filter in OBS works perfectly! Thanks :)
