How to Stream Audio with an Allen & Heath Mixer to Twitch, Facebook Live & YouTube

[@wickypedia541]

Great step by step guide right here! I do have an issue perhaps you can guide me?. I have a ZED 22FX and I have it connected via USB. I am able to push sound out of the computer into the board where I have my left and right speakers but I cant seem to get sound from the board and send it to the computer for recording or streaming. Do I need to create an aggregate USB driver since I'm using it on my mac mini? I've noticed a lot of step by step video that really doesn't mention too much about this. Thank you!

[@Johnbanthony]

It uses a general USB driver, so you should see it listed as long as your zed is connected and powered on. Since you can get audio into the board from your computer into the board, you shouldn’t have a driver issue. Under System Preferences > Sound > Input do you have the Zed selected? Sometimes a program can use different inputs/outputs than what’s set under this. In Logic or Garageband for example, you need to set up the inputs and outputs for those specific programs. You shouldn’t need to setup an aggregate device if you’re solely using the Zed for input and output.

[@wickypedia541]

@@Johnbanthony Under system preferences within the audio section I have selected for the input and output the audio codec USB option. I am currently using ProPresenter 7 and under audio routing I only see two channels for the mixer. Can I assume that I need to arregate the drivers to add the addition two channels for my input since the audio codec USB option seems to be output only? I'm currently away from my Mac which is why I haven't tried this yet lol. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@Johnbanthony]

@@wickypedia541 I hooked up my Zed10fx, and on a new Mac (M1on Monterey), I am seeing what you are, where the Input and Output are separate. In this case, yes, you’ll want to make an aggregate device, and click on drift correction for one of the two. I have an older Mac as well, still on Mojave, where they are both under one driver. This may be something Apple changed at some point. AirPods operate a similar way, the mic and speakers are separate drivers.

[@Pete7Davies]

This may just be the video I've been looking for, I'm hoping it is anyway lol. I've just bought the A&H Zed Sixty 10fx, and all I want to do is to play backing tracks from my laptop, and sing to them live on facebook etc. Is there anything else I need to know, besides what you've already said in this video ?. Thanks in advance

[@Johnbanthony]

The only thing to watch out for is your volume level going into Facebook, or any other streaming platform. I would run OBS for your audio and video, and add a compressor or limiter on the audio to make sure it’s loud enough. In the audio mixer click the gear associated with the Zed, and then click filters. Here you can add a limiter and/or compressor if you need more volume. Generally, if you can average being in the yellow on the audio mixer, you should be good. You can also make the output -1 instead of 0 to help avoid clipping on the listener’s side.

[@Pete7Davies]

@@Johnbanthony Yes I'll be using OBS, I've done a little bit before, but that was just playing a few tunes from Virtual Dj last year. Its all the ins and outs of this new mixer that I need to get my head around first lol. I know it may be a bit overkill for what I need, but the extra channels are there if I ever need them. I'm going to get on it after the weekend, as we are going away for a couple of days. Thanks for all your advice 😉👍

@@Johnbanthony Hi again. Sorry to be a pain, I was going to ask this last time we spoke the other week, but my wife was diagnosed with oesophagus cancer, so Ive been otherwise engaged since then, and Ive not touched anything until today. I hope I can explain properly, so that you may be able to point me in the right direction for the gear I have. Firstly, I cant use OBS because my laptop won't cope with me going live through it, its unbelievably laggy. So Im just trying to go live into my android phone on facebook. My problem is that even though I set my levels so there's no clipping on my mixer, I'm not loud enough in my headphones, even with the headphone volume turned up full, if I turn my mic up so I can hear it loud enough, it sounds distorted when I listen back to it in Facebook. Is there a way on the mixer to adjust my mic volume so that I can hear it loud enough, but it won't be heard by Facebook listeners ?. Sorry for the long winded question by the way. I'm going out of the main outputs to my phone with the correct lead, am I doing right by that ?. Thanks in advance

[@Pete7Davies]

@@Johnbanthony Having just watched your video again, I think you've already answered my question, but it seems I'm not doing something right lol. I'm adjusting the aux nobs, but its not altering my headphone volume 😤

[@Pete7Davies]

I have another question, if you don't mind me asking. I've managed to get OBS running on my Mac, and up to now, its working fine, with little or no lagging. But my dilemma is this... I want to run backing tracks from my ipad through OBS, for singing live on FB, or maybe YT, which channel would you recommend that I connect my ipad to, and will it be on the same channel as my mic inside OBS ?. Or would I be better off playing the backing tracks from my macbook ?. Hopefully you'll understand what I'm asking. Thanks in advance.

[@Johnbanthony]

I would run the backing tracks off your laptop if possible. I’ve found that to be the most reliable way to run playback tracks. If you’re just playing a single stereo file at a time, you shouldn’t have an issue doing it off an iPad though. From a connection standpoint, It’s honestly easier with the iPad since you can run that into the RCA inputs on the Stereo 1 channel. Laptop can do the same, or you can use the usb connection to send the tracks to Stereo 2 on the mixer. If you get into a more complex OBS setup, I’d say run off the laptop. You can use midi to do scene changes in OBS. This will let you sync the scene changes with the music. In that situation though, you’d have to be running OBS off your laptop and not your phone.

[@Pete7Davies]

@@Johnbanthony You've been a great help, thanks very much. With everything else on my mind at the minute, I've had trouble focusing on anything to be honest. I've had loads of issues all week with this, at one point I nearly gave up lol, especially when I was playing my backing tracks from my ipad, and singing to them live to myself on facebook, and when I played it back, the track was only playing out of one headphone. It sounded fine going in, I could hear both sides, but not when playing back. I think I've sorted it though, by changing it to stereo in the obs settings.

[@xaviermorales664]

I cannot get streamlabs to have the sound come in stereo. I’m getting nothing from the right side via usb. I’ve tried everything I can find on it. Any tips are greatly appreciated.

[@Johnbanthony]

First check that the Aux you’re using is stereo. on the mixer: Setup > Mixer Config > Mix Stereo. After that check that both left and right are patched: IO Patch > Outputs > Mix Out Make sure USB is selected up top, then patch your stream Aux or matrix to USB 1 and 2. If this doesn’t solve the issue, then you’ll need to check your OBS settings

Hello I have a Allen & heath zed14 & trying to stream on twitch but have a big sync problem the sound is great & my PC is working fine but on twitch is were the problem lies Any help greatly appreciated

[@Johnbanthony]

Click on the Gear associated with your Zed in the audio mixer section and select advanced audio properties. You’ll see sync offset and this is where you can correct the issue. I suggest recording yourself in obs and changing the offset until it lines up. Unfortunately, I don’t think there’s a magic number, so it will be trial and error.

[@noname85808]

Hi, Is it possible to send a mono signal from a computer via the mixer? I would like to send a clock signal for my analog synth, to sync it with a DAW. Thanks 👍

[@Johnbanthony]

The usb return on the Zed will always be stereo and come in on the stereo 2 channel of the zed10fx. If you send a mono signal to the stereo usb return, you could use just the left signal. You’d have to route this out the Aux output, which is a single trs output and going to be stereo technically. If the input to your synth is trs, this shouldn’t matter if it’s mono or stereo. If it’s an unbalanced input on the synth, set the balance of the stereo 2 channel to the left.

[@Johnbanthony]

I would test it by recording with the EQs centered and the effects bypassed to make everything as neutral as possible. There’s no firmware updates for the ZEDs and the usb driver for them is class compliant so there’s nothing to upgrade. If you still have a problem after testing everything neutral, I would reach out to Allen and Heath Tech Support.

Hi, great video. One quick question, I have a zedi-10fx and when streaming to youtube there is constant noise on whatever track I'm using for a microphone. I have tried with both dynamic and condenser mics and always get the same result. Can you give me hand?

[@Johnbanthony]

If you’ve confirmed the noise isn’t coming from your mic cable, you’ll want to try different gain staging with that channel’s gain and output. Try lowering the gain and turning up the output. OBS also the ability to use VST plugins so you’ll be able to add a gate to remove the noise. Right click on your Zedi source and click filters. OBS has built in plugins including a gate that you’ll be able to use if you don’t have any 3rd party VST plugins

[@jrn-olekjeldsen5688]

Hi there - do you know if there is a difference in usb connectors? I only get one mono signal out and should preferably have a stereo signal.

[@Johnbanthony]

The ZED series is designed to send a summed stereo signal over usb. If your mic channel is center panned on the board it will sound mono when it’s transmitted over usb. The ZED has 2 settings for the USB source but both will send a left and right signal. If you’re on a ZEDi mixer, the usb connection works differently and will send specific channels over mono depending on which mixer you have. If you’re running a ZED mixer and getting a mono signal I would double check your settings in OBS. To check this, go to the audio mixer window, click the gear icon associated with your ZED, then click advanced audio properties. You’ll see a box to check to turn it in to mono and a pan slider. Make sure the mono box is unchecked and the pan slider is centered.

Very informative video. Thank you for sharing. How do you connect the Allan and Heath mixer to iRig Stream fot streaming via a cellphone?

[@Johnbanthony]

The Irig stream uses RCA inputs so you’ll want to use the RCA record out on the Zed. You won’t be able to get the audio to return to the zed, but you’ll be able to stream your zed audio. Since it’s a record out, it’s the same setup process using the record button for each channel.

Hey Robert, While you’re in OBS: In the Audio Mixer section, click the gear icon, then Advanced Audio properties. You’ll see sync offset. This is where you can adjust the audio so it syncs with any delay between your camera and ZED. Unfortunately, there’s no magic number so they’ll be some trial and error, but I would try the 2-300ms area as your starting point.

[@MichaelFazio]

When recording with this there's not crackle, but when streaming on twitch there is a digital crackle that only chat hears, any ideas?

[@Johnbanthony]

The first thing I would check is the sample rate. The usb out of the SQ should be set to 48K, as well as the program you’re using to stream. OBS’ audio can be set to 44.1 or 48. The SQ can output 96K or 48K over usb. The first thing to check is that both are set to 48K.

[@jonnyf.sundayentertainer9762]

What about using the RCA out cable to USB C type into a phone?

[@Johnbanthony]

It’s possible to do it this way, but the mixer routing would need to change. The RCA out on the ZEDs is set to the monitor output. So your stream mix would be based on the monitor levels for each channel. The ZEDi mixers can interface over usb directly to an iOS device with an apple camera kit, so setup would be less complicated. To run the rca outs on the ZEDs into your phone, you’ll need to add an iOS interface, like the Irig Stream.

The ZEDI series has 3 different modes for USB output. The first mode is the only mode that sends out the summed Left and right signal. Unfortunately, it does this on usb channels 3 and 4.

Hey there, I am having a very similar problem to Jørn-Ole Kjeldsen in the comments. I am using a zed 10 trying to record two independent tracks into audacity. Tracks 1 and 2 on the mixer are panned extreme right and left respectively and both are record enabled on the mixer. When I try to do a usb stereo recording l in audacity left and right come out identical and only track 1 (left) is recorded onto both tracks. Same goes no matter what software I use to receive the signal. Pro tools, obs, audacity, it doesn't matter. However when I use the rca recording outs on the desk everything works as expected. The channel panned left is left and the channel panned right is right. Same thing when I monitor with headphones plugged into the desk. Also the L and R LED meters on the desk respond correctly to the extreme left and right signal. It's only going wrong when USB gets involved. I just don't know what's happening here. Why is it taking the left signal, copying it and sending it out as the right signal too? Is there a way to get to a place where I can do a decent stereo recording with this desk? Please help me.

[@iamthebot99]

so I have the ZEDi10fx Im not sure if this is the newer version of what you have but it looks slightly different. I dont have the record button.. how would I set this up with this mixer?

[@Johnbanthony]

Hey Melinda, the Zedi10fx is designed with recording studios in mind so it has a slightly different workflow. You won’t need to press a record button. Instead you’ll use the USB Out section to configure the signal being sent to you computer. There’s 3 options and 2 buttons. If neither button is engaged, it’s the bottom option where each of the first 4 channels is being sent individually to your computer. If you’re recording, and not streaming this will work great for you. If you’re streaming and want to use OBS, there is a limitation that you’ll possibly run into. When OBS captures audio for an interface, it will takes the first two channels of audio. The 3 settings on the Zedi10fx all push out Mic channels 1 and 2 to the first two channels. While this is ideal for a recording, it will cause some limitations in OBS. All 3 output settings push Mic1and Mic2 to the first two channels. You’ll also notice unless you set the Zedi to mono in OBS, you’ll always hear Mic1 on the left and Mic2 on the right. To make this mono, click one of the gears in the audio mixer section, then click Advance Audio Properties. You’ll see a mono button for each audio source. Simply click the proper one for Zedi, and you’ll have both mic channels coming through both speakers. If you need to stream more than 2 channels from a mixer, the Zed10fx would be better suited for this. It sums all the mic channels to a stereo signal for you when it converts to usb.

1Q : what if you plug a device to stereo jack in ST2? the Usb function will stop? 2Q : if you using condenser mic is need for 48v power but your guitar is passive (dont need phantom power) so will the phantom power burn your guitar pickup?

[@Johnbanthony]

The Stereo inputs will not disrupt the USB connection, for the input or output. You could actually run the Stereo TRS channels to the usb connection if you want. Phantom power will only pass over a mic jack, which a guitar can’t plug into. You’ll need a di box to hook up your guitar directly. Phantom power is selectable per channel, and generally you only need to worry about damaging a ribbon mic with phantom power. If you’re mixing with a condenser mic, to mic your guitar or guitar amps, you’ll likely need phantom, but if you’re using dynamic mic, like an sm57, you won’t damage the mic.

I have a lightning usb with video connection which I’m plugging the desk in to . Many Thanks Sarah

[@Johnbanthony]

To get your FX and backing tracks to go out through USB to your stream, you’ll need to make sure the record and headphone buttons are enabled for them. You can setup the FX channel and the Stereo channel the same way I setup the mic channel in the video. In regard to getting the backing tracks from your iPad to your computer; are you referring to RCA when you say lightning to [video connection]? If so, that would be the best way to get into the ZED, with the white and yellow connections.

@@DanielStaff_ Definitely possible with ST1. Just as a heads up, the usb driver for the zeds will only show up as stereo, and sums all the inputs. The panning on the ST1 input will remain in tact. I don’t think you’ll run it this way into the Zed, but make sure the connection between the QC and Zed isn’t set to put the DI on one side and processed signal on the other. If you’re running the processes tones from the QC in stereo into the zed, ST1 will do exactly what you’re expecting.

can u tell me how to take audio out for live telecast from allenand heath 32 channel mixer?

[@Johnbanthony]

If you’re using any of the ZED mixers, and not the Zedi, the usb signal sums all the channels to one stereo signal, and you can follow the instructions here. If you’re on one of the digital mixers, I use an aux channel for a stream mix instead of a monitor mix. The SQs and higher can have stereo auxes, so it’s no issue. On a Qu, you would have to use two auxes, one for left and one for right. Set the output of that aux to the first two channels of usb output and you’re good to go. I can give you more specific instructions, if you let me know what mixer you’re using.

Great video. I’m new at this. I’m considering purchasing this mixer for my live streaming podcasts on Facebook and DJaying on a KZbin channel. I have OBS and Virtual DJ. I have a few questions but will ask only 1 now. Is there a way to connect my Rode NT to this mixing board? Thanks in advance for your answer.

[@Johnbanthony]

If its a Rode NT mic with a 3 pin xlr, you can plug it in to the mixer no problem with a mic cable. If it is a condenser microphone you'll need to turn on phantom power (+48V). If this an NT-USB mic, you’ll have to connect it to your computer and not the ZED. OBS will allow you to set up multiple Audio Input Captures at once, so you can have one for the ZED and one for the NT running at the same time. OBS will still allow you route the audio from the NT into the ZED headphones if that’s how you are monitoring.

[@Johnbanthony]

@@HewlettePearson That solution will work, and you would connect into one of the 1/4” jacks on the ZED. We run OBS regularly with multiple audio inputs and have no issues. You can run both over USB and monitor both back on to either the ZED or the Rode without buying additional equipment. Repeat the process for Audio Input Capture as an additional source and add the Rode. You can adjust the level within the OBS mixer. To set one as a monitor select OBS at the top of the screen then click preferences, click the Audio tab, then scroll down until you see Advanced. This will have monitoring device as it’s only option. Select which you would to monitor from: the ZED or the Rode. The adapter solution or this will work for you, but you might save a few bucks letting OBS handle combining the two audio inputs.

We're happy to make a video on this. You are correct, the Zedi10fx functions differently over usb. I would recommend setting it so that it sends channels one and two as left and right, then make the Zedi a mono source inside OBS. Audio Mixer > Gear Icon > Advanced Properties. Find the Zedi and check the mono box. This should convert it to mono and center your mic, but you may need to restart OBS for it to take effect. Recording and streaming a game are very similar and can be done in OBS in either case. Are you gaming on your computer or a console? We can make a video for either.

Do you have a normal streaming setup on your computer? You can actually stream to instagram using a site called Yellowduck.com and obs. You need to adjust your aspect ratio in the video output, but totally doable. Also, looking into this more, the Zedi supports connecting to a phone using a camera kit, so using a lighting to usb should work. The Zeds are older, and I’ve seen it work with them as well, but haven’t tried myself. The Zedi will 100% work though as it mentions it in the manual.

It depends on what you’re connecting to the mixer. If you’re using a mic, you’ll need an xlr cable. The only cable you need between the mixer and your computer is a usb cable. If you’re plugging in a guitar, you can use a normal instrument cable in channel 3 or 4. A DJ mixer or controller would use an RCA cable into the stereo input.

@@Johnbanthony you know anyone Incan call and get advice on this. My friend who sells equipment says you can’t do it with this mixer but I don’t believe it. I’ve seen it done but with a special cord and was a bit hard to figure out. I mean this things got everything gotta be a way. Needing help sooner than later so just trying to call someone maybe.

@@steves9173 I would reach out to their US tech support. Their Distributor, American Music and Sound has a few people dedicated to just Allen and Heath. The number is 800.431.2609. Follow the prompts and it will take you to support for A&H specifically. If you need to leave a voicemail, they’ll 100% get back to you, so you don’t need to keep trying to call.
