#OBS STUDIO ISHOWU HOW TO#

At the moment, it eludes me how to mute or suppress the alerts and sound effects from being heard in your video.

The Alerts icon is a miniature Mac Finder icon. Stream to Twitch, YouTube and many other providers or record your own videos with high quality H264 / AAC encoding.

In my example screenshot above, I set it to the Multi-Output Device, as denoted by the Alerts icon next to the Speaker icon. OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) is free and open source software for video recording and live streaming. For that, you must select an output device and right-click on it to select this setting. The one thing that can ONLY be set in the Mac's Audio MIDI Setup is: Play alerts and sound effects through this device. They're simply 2 different places to control the same setting. As soon as you right click on the Multi-Output Device and select: Use this device for sound output, it is automatically changed in System Preferences Sound. Otherwise, the internal microphone could pick up the sound and create feedback or an annoying echo for the person watching my video.Įvery video I watched said to go into the Mac's System Preferences Sound and set it to: Multi-Output Device. I don't want the sound coming out of the internal speakers as well, so I uncheck Built-in Output in the Use column. My headphones are connected through an Audiobox 96 USB audio interface, so I've selected it in the Use column. See a problem in this configuration? The audio (both narration and screen output) will come out of the Mac's internal speakers as well as into my headphones. The Master Device must be: iShowU Audio Capture. I like to select Drift Correction for every device but the Master Device. At a minimum, that should include: iShowU Audio Capture, and, whatever device your headphones are using. Under the Use column, select the output devices you want to use. This is farther down the chain, so it is added on to the audio pipeline. I know it seems illogical, but it behaves as internal 'mic' on the system bus to grab all audio coming down the pike. Without that set, iShowU will NOT capture your screen audio!! If not, right-click on iShowU Audio Capture and select: Use this device for sound input. When iShowU Audio Capture is installed it should set be set as the default input device for you.

Making iShowU Audio Capture the default input device (see the Microphone icon next to it) in the Mac's Audio MIDI Setup, Audio Devices screen. In fact, some of it is counter-intuitive. This is definitely not straight forward when you see how it's done.

Streaming should work just the same with these settings but I have not tested that. To clarify, these instructions have only been used and tested in making a recording video with audio. The configuration I figured out for Studio One should work for other apps that OBS and iShowU don't capture for you in their native installation. I think I'll make my own video, specifically on recording Studio One. No one video or web article covers everything that was required to make this work. I got it figured out after reviewing more info and more videos in YouTube.
