Soundsource vs loopback12/9/2023 ![]() Unfortunately there's a bug in LoopBack v2 that means I'm not currently using it, but in V1 the interface for this looks like the attached screenshot. So you make the virtual device, add the mixer to it as a hardware source, turn on manual channel mapping, and select the channels from the mixer you want. You want to create a virtual device that allows OBS to see only specific channels from the mixer, in case just adding the mixer to OBS as a source either doesn't work, or doesn't allow you to pick the channels you want. In this case, my suggested use for LoopBack is different. I assume that the audio you're trying to put into OBS is coming from the mixer, and not from the Mac's actual output (programs running on the Mac as opposed to a device connected to the Mac). So you can, if you choose, not monitor anything in LoopBack, but instead monitor out of OBS. (Audio monitoring from OBS also works now on MacOS- it didn't always. Then you tell LoopBack to monitor that virtual device using whatever hardware device you usually listen to. This may not be true in your case.įor those use cases, you create a virtual device in LoopBack, set that as the default Output device in the Mac's Sound preferences. Most people using OBS want this (usually to capture a game). OBS has no way of capturing your Mac's default sound output- audio made by programs. Thanks for all your help, I just can't wrap my head asround this logic. From wehsat I am reading, it seems I should have the loopback one selected. RIght now I have x32 selected for the input, and it is getting the signal from the mixer. When going to the sound prefences on the imac, I am assuming that the out should be X32 (usb) and for the incoming signal I should select Loopback. ![]() I bought the bundle, in case Ias m going to need another one of their apps to make all this work. Loopback has a bundle with about five apps for not much more than loopback by itself. It sure would be nice if one piece of software just handled all this. Is that on top of whatever I already have on channel 1 and 2, like my microphones? Maybe I have to send any signals I normally get from my computer to the mixer from a different computer, so I am only sending a signsl to the imac running OBS. Also, it looks like when the imac gets the main signal back from the mixer, it is on channel 1 and 2 no matter what you want. Seems like there is a chance I am hearing everything just fine, but what I am sending out might be a really bad sound. Plus my headphones are plugged into the mixer, so I am not really monitoring the signal after it gets back to OBS. Then I have the main outs that need to get back to the imac with the finished product. I changed that to sending that same signal over usb now. Now I mix in my microphones or anything connected to my mixer. I have a 3.5mm cord out the headphone jacks to a pair of aux in's on the board. I kind of got it working, but I don't resally understand the logic, and I may be trying to go about this wrong. Under this new scenario I am using my mixer to podcast and send everything to OBS. Everything works via the X-32 protocol, over USB. With Logic Pro and my Behringer X32 mixer it is easy.
