How to SEPARATE AUDIO for Twitch VOD with OBS studio (NO Voicemeeter)

[@GreenBoxMedia]

**Frequently asked questions** *Does this work on Streamlabs OBS?* No *Do I require Voicemeeeter?* No *I don't see the Twitch VOD Setting* Check the video chapters *Can I use copyrighted music with this?* Legally speaking, no, however because there won't be any music in the VOD the chance of a DMCA takedown is reduced. It does however not change anything about the Livestreaming of copyrighted music. *How can I capture alert sounds?* Assuming your alerts are coming in through browser sources. Open the browser source setting of the corresponding alert and enable 'Control audio via OBS'.

[@spushiii]

There's a setting for it on Streamlabs now 👍

[@sanxaokingzs115]

butttt does it work now?

[@FundipDraws]

My alerts are all silent now, turning on the "control through OBS" did nothing

[@10zutto]

@@FundipDraws same thing did you find a way to fix this?

[@perera7]

yo dude, did you find something that works out? having the same problem here@@FundipDraws

[@camdenp23]

youtube needs more people like you. a normal person. no bs. straight to the point. cheers!

[@RyansThatGuy]

11 months later - This is still the best video on this topic, thank you so much. Super simple, super straight forward. A blind man could follow these instructions. THANK YOU.

[@GreenBoxMedia]

You are welcome

[@shadow44823]

I am that blind man

[@WormwoodX]

Someone who is normal and knows how to make it simple. Thumbs up

[@GreenBoxMedia]

Happy to help ✌️

[@userunknown2771]

I tried following the first 20 sec, until i realized it was a sum up. What a fantastic idea! One just knows what the vid covers, no bs. Love it! Subbed

[@TheRealFireTurtle75]

Thank goodness you explained this in detail and at a reasonable speed. Nearly every video I've watched missed critical steps or they just clicked through them fast or just said nothing about them at all. I appreciate it a lot! Awesome video!

[@GreenBoxMedia]

You are welcome ✌️

[@Dr_Dumptruck]

Hey buddy

[@ataclips]

dude. someone legitimately give this guy his million views. this is 10x easier than VB banana and is in-built with the OBS we all know and love. holy shit dude thank you for the guide. any aspiring streamer that wants to listen to tunes but doesn't want the copyright problems this is your video right here. golden standard for tutorials right here my GOD i can't praise you enough.

[@GreenBoxMedia]

Glad you enjoyed my content :)

[@ataclips]

i have a question though! my alerts from streamlabs don't sound off on stream. so when someone follows or makes a TTS donation, no sound is made cause there's nothing to "capture" for it? im not sure how it works @@GreenBoxMedia

[@dipiogaming]

after watching tons of videos about how to make audio right in OBS ... FINALLY A USEFULL VIDEO MADE ME UNDERSTAND ALL MY MISTAKES AND LITERALY FIXED ALL MY ISSUES WITHIN 7 MINUTES! THANKS KEEP THE GOOD WORK

[@Ahamkeira]

Best tutorial on the face of the planet. I've never subbed to a tutorial channel before but this deserves it

[@Xationch]

Short, precise, perfect! Just what we are looking for! Thank you for simply going straight to the explanations. It's rare on KZbin.

[@GreenBoxMedia]

Welcome to Quick Tips!

[@BlueSR]

Great tutorial that was well worded and easy to follow! I've been meaning to do this for my stream for a long time, but have never found the energy to do so since there was always so much clutter with external applications and such. This method was a lot better though! Thank you :3

[@GreenBoxMedia]

You are welcome

[@StwabVwictum]

I thought the first 20 seconds was the tutorial and I was like SLOW DOWN MAN SLOW DOWN!!! lol

[@drizzintahl]

Just spent 10 minutes watching someone "setup twitch separate audio music vod" like this, and it spent most of the time talking about editing software and recording settings. This video is on point, was looking for something concise to send to some friends and this is fantastic. Cheers!

[@GreenBoxMedia]

Happy to be of use :)

[@yoerika]

Thank you! This just helped me in so many ways! I use Voicemeeter, and may switch to this method. BUT my mind was blown learning about how "Scenes" can be used as a source! This will save me so much time with updating sources. I have so many sources that appear across all of my scenes...Now I can just group them together in one spot, and thus update in one spot! You have saved me hours, thank you!

[@TheChilledMan14]

Much love for the simple walkthrough. Clean, precise, step by step. Loved it. Thought I knew what I was doing but man that Audio Control scene saves me so much time now. Much love brother!

[@HunBunMcRun]

bro ur the goat been trying forever and u made a simple and easy guide wtf

[@Jiick]

You're actually a GOAT for explaining everything succinctly in the first 20 seconds, and then going in depth afterwards. Thank you so much! Very helpful video answered all my questions

[@Lquid_]

bro u dont know how helpful this was u didnt talk fast and u didnt cut important stuff it was easy to keep up with the vid unlike other people who talk and do everything fast and i didnt have to download voice meter thank u

[@GreenBoxMedia]

Glad it helped

[@MungoBurrows]

I got whiplash from how quick and dense the 15 second version was, but boy did it work

[@brittanyn7004]

At the end I was like 'wait that's it?!' Thank you for making it so easy!

[@FormalCooks]

Why didn´t I find you´re page last night, i spent countless of hours and streaming and fixing,removing, adding. And this took like 5min to setup, forever greatfull to you for this

[@GreenBoxMedia]

Glad this helped!

[@DeliliahGraves]

Thank you SO MUCH for this break down!! It was WILDLY HELPFUL! I can now enjoy my favorite music while I stream without worry about my vods!!

What an exemplary guide!! The whole of KZbin should take a lesson from you on how to do a no-BS tutorial. This really helped me out!

ok so First off. Thank you so much. Second off Every fiber of my being shook when you went to the settings in discord. 10/10

[@GreenBoxMedia]

😂

[@VeeVis]

Thank you, I've been using voicemeter for this exact reason and it was tanking my performance in game. Now I'm chilling. GREATFUL!

[@oldskoolgaming]

Very good, very clean and straightforward presentation. this is the way I had my audio routed before I started using Elgato Wavelink to mix my audio. This is simpler and cleaner overall.

[@Dartanyan_1]

Thank you for the awesome video, I have yet to see if I did it right- but almost all the music I use on stream is Neffex, and despite the copyright free nature of them I was getting lots of warnings that would never have led to issues- yet still were frustrating to see every day. Thank you very much for the awesome awesome video :)

[@GrowingObsession]

excellently consice, straight forward tutorial video, well done dude x

[@Eliteronix]

Rare instant like and comment for this one. Exactly what I wanted, worth the effort to boost the algorithm for this one

[@mitsuri_tsukishima]

been wondering how to do this, it was that simple! good vid!

[@alioop1302]

Wanted to thank you for taking the time to make a very clear, well-paced tutorial for this. A friend recommended this vid for me, but unfortunately, while I can appreciate the simplicity of the vid, I am just too tech-challenged and got lost about 4:20 sec in. GG on the vid though, and I will keep plugging away til I get this right lol

[@GreenBoxMedia]

try checking if your OBS is in "simple" setting mode this might be why you cant find certain settings.

[@cowbanchalam9725]

Great video. Nice and 'simple' (if obs can ever be described as simple) Added to my OBS playlist Watched it while my phone was in do not disturb but the auto generated captions were enough. Guess what I'll be doing with a new "obs tutorial" collection tomorrow Cheers 👍

[@Styrfire]

Amazing video! This is a super clean solution and is very easy to understand!

[@mcblade85]

An intro that worths thousands. Thank you. I watched the entire video btw.

[@BusyBee1107]

This video was SO helpful, very easy to follow, very efficient, and most importantly, it WORKS. Thank you so much GreenBox!

[@GreenBoxMedia]

You are welcome!

[@saltysandwind]

This is amazing!!!! I've been searching for solutions for 2 days!! and finally i find one that works, thank you SO SO MUCH! I Cannot describe just how useful this video has been thank you!

Glad to hear it's useful to you ✌️

[@Keify101]

GG, i watched another video initially and got it working, had to go back over it watced this, well explained simple.

[@rainyjaynie]

Thank you so much for this. It was so perfectly and easily explained.

[@nordberg7erForum]

Finally. Waited so long for that feature. Good explanation. Thx... :)

[@GreenBoxMedia]

Happy to help ✌️

[@advRedseven]

Thank you, Sir! As you explained the audio settings it suddenly clicked and I understood how to setup the tracks.

[@GreenBoxMedia]

You're welcome!

[@ajester69ttv]

honestly, only used the first part but watched the whole video and liked it just for the number beautifully video

[@h3draut3r46]

Easy to understand... 😅 will test it this evening..... had to remove another video because i had some "mimimi" from twitch 😞😅

[@FrancescoSalamonee]

Quick to the point. Awesome video!!

[@charlielara170]

Thank you, thank you, thank you ; A ; I was panicking so bad and you made it look so easy

Finally someone has explained it!!!! Thank you so much!

[@JonBtw]

"Set your Discord to light mode" Good one lmao. Also ty for the video, super easy to follow.

[@GreenBoxMedia]

Glad you liked it!

[@greecoboost]

Excellent tutorial! This really helped me out! Thank you for clear instructions and not going too fast!

[@GreenBoxMedia]

You are welcome!

[@diegogb1999]

If I´m using dual PC with NDI this can be done in the streaming PC? Or I´m forced to do the audio control in the gaming PC? And also does this gives input lag as the cam does when gaming or not?

[@GreenBoxMedia]

For this to work OBS needs to run and stream on the system that is generating the sounds. So your gaming PC. For dual streaming setups check out the dual streaming PC setup I did on my channel.

[@deathbaimuffin]

i am HORRIBLE with tech but you made this suuuper easy to follow ive been meaning to do this for a while for various reasons! thank you =3

[@YoNando]

Thanks, really helpful, concise and clear. Great!

[@RafieTV]

I don't know you...but I love you, thank you so much, so many videos out there, telling me to download this, do that, do this..so complicated, yours is simple, THANKS!

[@svenowsky]

that quick tip is goated

[@Pepega_Ch]

omg thank you for the tips, greeny! your explanation is precise & easily comprehensible!

[@GreenBoxMedia]

You are welcome ✌️

[@squatingdog]

Thanks for the video! Quick question though... What if the box is all greyed out? I can see it, but I can't use it or click it for some reason. I am already on twitch as the option but it won't let me check anything? What gives?

[@GreenBoxMedia]

Could it be that you have any plugins active that use the encoder? like Virtual camera or NDI?

[@jimmythickness]

Very clear, thank you! Just one question though - does this mean for every single game you play you have to make an audio track for it before stream in obs?

[@GreenBoxMedia]

Not audio track but audio capture, yes.

[@Sweetkeps]

Thank you so much! This helps a lot! I was struggling trying to figure this out and got lost watching other videos about it >.

[@GreenBoxMedia]

Glad I could help!

[@ThiccYT]

This has worked amazingly; however, I keep getting told that there's some audio distortion at random times of the stream, lasting about 30 seconds each time. Have you heard about this? And how do I fix it? Thank you!

[@GreenBoxMedia]

Usually has to do with the sample rate of your audio device. Probably just something that did not get figured out completely yet. As this feature is still relatively new / Beta.

[@Questje]

I've had this issue myself, only happening with my music for some reason. Voice and effects etc stay fine. For this reason I had to revert to capturing all my audio at once. Hope this gets fixed, I've been told it's an issue in Windows. My audio sample rates etc are all good, been trying to fix it for weeks haha.

[@goobie]

Very easy to understand and works, thank you so much!

[@ksconan]

This was great help for me and thank you so much. I do have a question @GreenBox, how do I add my sound alerts from both sound alerts extension and twitch alerts extensions? can you help? Never mind I read your FAQ and there was the answer, open sound alerts from each browser source in OBS and enable " Control Audio via OBS " works like a charm

[@atlas_av]

Beautifully done, crystal clear and very well spoken. cheers!

[@GreenBoxMedia]

Thank you kindly!

[@LeevoBeepo]

Thanks bud! Very well put together video.

[@sethbrooks7174]

Great instructional video! Not a lot of fluff (especially with the 15 second intro) and still clear and easy to follow! I was also convinced to subscribe with the little joke on discord light mode. One question though, is there an advantage to putting game audio in your audio scene vs just doing it in a scene related to a specific game?

[@GreenBoxMedia]

If that one specific scene is the only one in which you have the game, there is no benefit.

[@TheRobustOne]

Thanks for the indepth info. Made it really easy for me to play around with this.

[@Nerino]

Great video. If your Spotify music is too low, compared to what you hear, add "GAIN" filter.

[@RadlerAndi]

thanks this helped me a lot! I didn't know how to make those separate audio tracks for game and browser with youtube audio

[@StonersLoungeGaming]

Brilliant, easy to follow! Thank you

[@gyremily]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! your explanation is so thorough!!

[@31Fox]

I am using the Wave 3 mic and the software that comes with it. I am wondering if it will do the same thing or if I should just not use the software and only use this built in OBS option. Thanks for the great video.

[@GreenBoxMedia]

I would do the combination. Use the wave link for everything that goes to the vod and OBS for everything that does not go to the vod. In other words put music on a track I'm wave link that only goes to your headphones but not the stream mix and add the same music to OBS for the live track vod track. Here is a basic wave link tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4jXhY2aqaiFbck

[@PumaLS]

that was incredibly helpful. Trying it out next stream!

[@high_on_sky]

You did helped me so much, great job. Very easy!

[@ramchberry]

HUGE PROPS, you explained this so well and thoroughly, thank you thank you thank you!!!

[@novacrash52]

Incredible video. What a champion

[@tribisnipe7726]

Thanks a lot for the great and quick help!!

[@kindiz]

You have the best tutorials! Will this work if I just add/copy the Beta Audio Capture for Spotify to my existing scene? I didn't want to make everything again if I could avoid it, but if I have to I will rather than use Voicemeeter, as it messed up my sound settings something horrible. Had to uninstall it cause I wasn't able to get sound to my physical outputs anymore after using it. :s

[@SoyAllenChiu]

So after I create a special scene and call it Audio Control, and add all my applications, should I copy it to all my scenes? Or with only Audio control is enough for it to work? and What if I switch scenes?

[@GreenBoxMedia]

You would add it to every other scene that needs audio.

[@ElyneLee]

thanks so much for the tutorial. really helpful! God bless you always ~

[@redbaskett]

it seems that this only works if you are livestreaming to twitch and VODS. If you are live streaming to KZbin as well, the audio music would still go through and have to follow different settings for that. Please correct me if I am wrong.

[@SliceOfSampai]

Amazing video and great production! Hope you grow and grow fast!

[@GreenBoxMedia]

Thanks a lot, probably won't happen 😅

[@Its_Toko]

Is there a way to test to see if it's working without going live?

[@Its_Toko]

Ok it seems to working now when i make a recording. My problem was that my Desktop audio source in obs, despite being muted, would still make my music audio play until I unchecked it from box 1 and 2

[@GreenBoxMedia]

Note that recordings use other track settings than livestreaming. So no testing can only be done live on twitch or when setting the recording audio tracks setting to the same as the live one.

[@bigbadwolf4life887]

Is there anyway to test it to make sure it works without going live on twitch?

[@neurotix9215]

thx so much,for simple and eazy to understand video! thx
