Connect Audio From Your Sound Mixer To OBS Studio NOTE: You do not have to connect audio from your sound mixer to OBS Studio. However, spending

the time and money to connect your mixer will greatly enhance your viewer's experience. Audio Interface we recommend: Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 ($159) You must have all relevant cables to connect your audio interface to the sound mixer (most likely xlr female to 1/4 inch TRS) and to connect the interface to your computer

1. Connect your audio interface to your sound mixer 2. Connect your computer to your audio interface via usb 3. When you open OBS, it will look like the screenshot below. In the Mixer section, click the gear icon

next to the Mic/Aux channel and select Properties. This will open the audio device menu for OBS

Click the "Gear Icon"

4. Click the dropdown menu next to Device, and select your interface. In this example, we are using a Scarlett USB Interface and will select Focusrite USB as the device

5. Click "OK" in the bottom right corner of the screen 6. By default, Mic Input 1 on your interface will go to the left side of the stereo mix, and Mic Input 2 will go to

the right side of the stereo mix. In order to have both your Mics heard in the left and right channel, Go to the Mixer Section > Gear Icon > Advanced Audio Properties, and click the checkbox Downmix to Mono. Note on Audio/Video Sync Issues: If you notice that your audio is not syncing up with your video, you may need to apply a sync offset to synchronize them. See the Advanced Audio Properties screenshot below. You can adjust the Sync Offset value in milliseconds. The exact value you set depends on how your computer is processing the audio and video, so you will have to experiment in order to find the right value.
