so, does anybody that likes to stream and record at the same time know how to record the camera as a separate source so the resolution doesn't look horrible in editing, i know about source record but it is super buggy for me, btw i have a sony zv-10 if it matters since it's not just a usb webcam

Assuming you hit record, you should be able to use a capture card to keep the camera as your in-game webcam while recording..might not be too easy

Hello again, I watched a few YouTube videos, but wanted to be certain I’m doing this correctly. I’m getting the capture card tonight. Due to limited availability, I’m getting the HD60 S Elgato capture card. It is my understanding that it comes with an HDMI cable. Will I need to buy an additional cable? Does my laptop need to be connected to the tv or capture card as well? With my current set-up, my laptop is far away from my tv, so I would need a really long cord to connect it all
9:56 PM
My Nintendo switch dock is right by my tv
9:58 PM
This is my set-up for streaming:
9:58 PM

If it needs to all be connected, would it be easier to connect to a monitor on the same desk as my laptop rather than my tv across the room?

@empressaqua You will have the Switch connected to the HDMI IN, the TV connected to the HDMI OUT, and the USB connected to your Laptop.

Be sure to keep your HDMI and USB cables to less than 15ft long if you buy longer cables. (edited)

For me, I'd try to run a long HDMI from the Elgato to the TV, and keep everything else on the desk.

OK, looks like the manual says that you need to plug it into a fan controller

CPU overheating could be a few things, the CPU might need to be reseated, the paste is good on those things off the bat usually.

It's plugged into the controller. And I know the fans are going. I've heard the pumps go once, gurgling, but not really after that one time

I'm gonna try reseating it tomorrow, and try unplugging and replugging the headers in

Lol. I was expecting it to be similar to the Asus ryuo I used. Since it was the same brand and only a couple of years between releases. Nope, ditched the aio pump connector entirely. Which is half my worry

Newegg/ABS didn't do that on the last two prebuilt machines I bought, and it hosed up one of my Intel CPUs.
3:00 PM
Also, thermal paste? Are you using the stuff that came with it, or something you bought separately?
3:01 PM
Also, orientation of the radiator can cause overheating due to the water not moving, or cavitating the pump. Can you take a picture of where you have installed in the case?

Avatar
eternalprimo 2/23/2022 3:06 PM
Okay. When I get home though my plan is to loosen the cooler a little cause I may have overtightened it, and if that does nothing then reseat the CPU. I have tried a different USB header already for the USB cord from the aio, and I made sure to have all the fans on the correct headers

Hey i have a question I've been streaming from my PS4 straight to YouTube for a while, but i wanted to start streaming from my xbox and for some reason my test stream to twitch had a lot of audio cutouts and visual bugs, i was streaming at 720p I'm thinking i might have to put it down to 480p, would that fix the problem or do you think its caused by something else? Also what are some general tips you have for people just now starting to stream to twitch. Things i should know. I downloaded the VOD and put it on youtube, I did a test stream with dead space as the background but i want to get my streaming running smoothly so i can stream Elden Ring.

No current plans of streaming but is a goal at some point Just feel like you all would be best to ask my question. INPUT: -PC -XBOX OUTPUT: -Headphones -Speakers also need a mic that works on both hopefully attached to the headphones lol Best case Its a single button press to switch from Xbox to PC or headphones to speakers. Best case I wanna use Discord while I play on the Xbox. As of now my setup I have 2 different speakers 1 for Xbox 1 for computer and no headset I want to change this so I can have 1 headset 1 speaker system. I'm not sure if I should use an audio mixer from what I have found they don't work great with mic's but a little mix amp looks like a great solution for what I'm looking for. For my headset just a wired open backed headset that's good for most music good with bass for music and has good spatial positioning for fps games 200 dollar limit on the headset is best case but I'm just trying to figure out how to do this. Any Suggestions??? PLEASE HELP ME (edited)

Is your computer overheating? Increase airflow by adding a fan. Is the air inside the case warmer than the outside air by a substantial margin? Add an exhaust fan. (edited)

I have three inlet and three outlet fans in my main rig:
  • 3 Case fans, drawing air into the case;
  • 2 Fans pushing air out of the case and through an AIO cooler;
  • 1 Fan at the rear of the case to remove additional hot air.

Once you’ve gotten your feet wet there, get a feel for if it’s too complicated or not; if you feel comfortable, OBS will treat you well. If it’s too complicated, take a look at the software options from each streaming service. For example, you can use Twitch Studio directly in a browser. (edited)

Hey! Im starting to lose my mind over laggy preview on streamlabs. Recording is fine, stream is fine, everything else is stable 60fps except the preview. Any ideas? Edit: Just checked last recording with fraps, both recording, and preview window appears to be 60fps entirely, but somehow the actual gameplay on preview seems to dip below 20fps at times, even though fraps says that its 60fps. Im lost. Makes the game stupid hard to play at times but everything is looking crisp on the VOD and recording. Using preview to play the game as i really CBA to be switching HDMI between monitor and capture card several times a day every time i want to play without streaming or use my PC, as theres little to none input lag anyway.

@Lemon Which capture card are you using?
Some cheap Chinese one, but the output itself is fine and I'm not using the pass-through so it shouldn't really affect anything.
Avatar
TenderSausage 3/13/2022 4:05 PM
Why not? The pass-thru will be 60fps.
4:07 PM
If you have the option to use another display and play on the pass-thru, that’s the ideal setup because it incurs no latency; the signal is simply passing through the box.
4:07 PM
Playing via preview will always incur latency.
4:08 PM
If it’s not an option, have you tried elevating the process priority for SLoBs?
Avatar
Oh I know, the latency isn't really noticeable anyway when using the usb either, as I mentioned that I would have to be switching out hdmi's all the time if I wanted to use my monitor for pass-through and that's why I'm trying to make this work
Avatar
TenderSausage 3/13/2022 4:09 PM
Or running the preview in Performance mode?
Avatar
I think performance mode shuts the preview?
4:10 PM
I'll try increasing process priority today, although I'm doubtful about it as cpu/GPU usages rarely go over 15% while streaming

TenderSausage 3/13/2022 4:10 PM
I’m afk, I don’t remember which option optimizes the preview off the dome (edited)

It's really confusing because stream never lost a frame and recording locally is pretty much flawless as well. It's just the preview and I just find it really odd

TenderSausage 3/13/2022 4:11 PM
Let me get back to the rig, one sec
Avatar
First few minutes are always good, then i start getting occasional lag spikes closer to 20fps for 1-10 seconds at a time
4:13 PM
But the weird thing is that during those lag spikes, fraps says that I've never gone below 60fps. So the preview is supposedly running 60fps, but the gameplay isn't? But it's still 60fps when watching vod or recorded clip

I don't use SLOBS (for reasons), but I know OBS gives you an option to run the preview in fullscreen or windowed. Does SLOBS give you that option?

Yes, when I open projector, it pops up as a window and gives a choice to go borderless full screen on any monitor

I might also try OBS today to see if there's a difference. Last time I've used slobs was pretty soon after it came out, having everything syncing easily really helped setting up as it's been a while since last time, but it all came back pretty quickly

With a little further investigation, the preview itself doesnt lag, but the projector does. I guess its slightly better on windowed mode, but its still pretty bad.

If I understood your issue, you could try to add new audio output source and use desktop audio capture. Can't think of other solutions right now as I don't know how your audio has been set up (edited)

If youre not comfortable sharing desktop audio, you could route your browser's sounds to a virtual audio input using voicemeeter or such

Try streaming it at 1440p30

You'll want to use different settings if you're going to downscale and stream at 1080p
6:04 PM
Video Tab, make sure the Base and Output are both 1440p, and FPS is integer 30.
6:05 PM
Since you're not downscaling, the filter is ignored, but you don't need Lanczos anyway; Bicubic is fine.

So I read alot of places that an expander is better then using a noise gate. But I can't find anywhere if you still need to use noise suppression if you use an expander
Avatar
TenderSausage 3/31/2022 9:13 PM
@ChronicMayhem If you increase your expander ratio enough, it becomes a noise gate by virtue of isolating out signal below the ratio. You’d only need a noise suppressor to handle signals that you don’t like that you still hear after expanding (edited)
9:14 PM
And make sure the noise suppressor is second on the signal chain/order, so it applies after the expander.
Avatar
ChronicMayhem 3/31/2022 9:22 PM
@TenderSausage oooh ok I had it before the expander (edited)
9:22 PM
So after the expansion I should apply only light noise suppression
9:26 PM
For example: if there is fan noise, but the expander is making it so you can't hear it, but when I talk, you can hear it...is that when the noise suppression comes into play?

@ChronicMayhem Sorry for the delay. Personally, I like to EQ first to get rid of tonal imbalance, and then I like to add dynamics (compressor, gate, limiter). After that, I go for effects and stuff with gain/distortion first, followed by delay/reverb.
2:13 PM
I would go EQ, compressor, limiter. Depending on the room noise you're trying to remove, it might be best to knock that out first (before the EQ), but you might have to play with that one to see where it fits best in the order.
2:13 PM
You shouldn't need both an expander and a compressor; They're essentially opposite of each other.

Hey, does anyone have experience with voice transformers? I have an issue with playback on my Roland VT-4. Specifically when I have my headphones plugged into the phone jack on the VT-4, I also transmit my computer audio through my microphone. I'm trying to use the VT-4 for changing my voice for streaming and D&D, and when I'm running games I'll have music playing in the background, which unfortunately gets picked up by the mic. Is there a way to prevent the playback from occurring? I'm not seeing anything in the manual about disabling it. A solution I've found is having my headphones plugged directly into my computer, but the downside of this is I can't hear how my voice is being affected by the VT-4

Hi, I don't know if this is the right channel but here goes: One of my friend is being overwhelmed by bots, If I can say so. He streams with around 180 viewers, but when he writes "/raid x", it shows that only 15 people are ready to raid, which shows that most of his viewers aren't real. He still streams casually, but then the chat gets invaded by these bots that say 4-5 identical phrases each, along the lines of "Love your channel!" or "How can we subscribe"? He's getting pretty tired of this and has wrote to Twitch many times, without success. Is there something he can do?

Has he tried running the ban lists? I cant remember the link (maybe someone else will know it) but there's tools out there that will go through a list of known bots and ban them all for you, takes a while but if he's dealing with that many bots it will be worth it

I'm streaming with a capture card and a cannon rebel T6, I cropped out the issue with the no clear HDMI output, but it turns off after about 30 mins and I have to restart it every 30 mins or so.

@Gabbing About It looks to me like you have a lighting issue. Fore lighting is probably too high, and back lighting is too low. See if you can add a little bit of light behind you to separate you from the background.

There's a spot where you can check the white point for the camera. It might be set to a manual setting, and if you set it to Auto it might correct that.

hi guys I have a very specific problem I'd appreciate all and any help. I'm using a dual PC setup, an elgato 4k mk2 capture card, OBS to stream. On the gaming PC im currently using the clone method to duplicate my main desktop. This works fine with 99% of games EXCEPT csgo. With csgo only I'm experiencing what I would describe as input lag/poor hit registration. Again only with csgo alt tabbing causes my pc to freeze for 2-3seconds and opening and closing csgo causes a similar freeze. I'm wondering if I need to adjust the scaling settings or something similar on the nvidia control panel to optimise how this is working. With the duplicate display disabled, csgo opens and closes flawlessly aswell as alt tabbing. Gaming pc is a 5900x, 32gb ram and a 2070super. I'm nowhere near any of my limits and get no fps drop for enabling the clone. All help is greatly appreciated as it is one of my core games and incredibly annoying.

Hey guys, Im thinking of doing a Hot tub stream as a joke since I actually have an indoor hot tub in my basement. However i'm concerned that my microphone may not accurately pick my voice. Its a dynamic microphone, a Samson Q2U. Is there any settings I can adjust so that it picks up more sound?
Avatar
And also, what are the basics measures I have to think about to prevent any incidents like water on my microphone, etc
Avatar
TenderSausage 5/16/2022 4:50 PM
@Canello Here’s my two cents: Your best placement is probably going to be an overhead mic on a boom pointed down. Avoid putting it directly over the hot tub if possible to minimize humidity exposure (steam rises) Avoid using an expensive condenser mic if possible; use a shotgun mic if you have one. The Samson Q2U is directional, so if you use that, make sure the end is addressed at where you will be, and make sure you talk at the microphone. You will have room noise, and it will be unavoidable without other measures.

I don't have a shotgun mic, I dont feel like buying one just for this stream ahahah

Because you're downsampling less at you get to the native resolution of the device, where you get 1:1 detail

Avatar
TenderSausage 5/17/2022 7:50 PM
So if you have a full-screen version of a source, and then a smaller resolution version, it might look better because the smaller one is actually at 1:1 detail instead of a downsampled and rendered version.
7:51 PM
You would use the smaller one anytime you want that source smaller, like in a PIP view
Avatar
CatDaddySupreme 5/17/2022 7:51 PM
Ohhhhh. I see what you’re saying. So the full-screen resolution is for the “hanging out” scene when I’m waiting to game, and then I make a new source at a lower resolution for the thumbnail

Hello all, looking for some help with an issue I'm having, described here: Alright, kind of a weird issue I'm having, but it's been going on for about a week now, so I'll try to describe it the best I can.
  • I stream various video games, using OBS Studios, on twitch, have been for a couple months (and recently did it for years on YouTube before I decided to migrate over). For the last week or so, I will start a twitch stream through OBS as I have for some time now to play a PC game. I use a stream elements overlay with a facecam.
  • After 5-20 minutes (varies), my computer that I am playing on/streaming from loses internet connection. My computer is connected via ethernet cord to the router. All other devices in the house (which utilize wifi) are unaffected. The fix is to restart the computer, doesn't matter if I restart it 10 seconds or 10 minutes after the disconnect, once it's rebooted the computer is connected to the internet again.
  • I restart the game and stream, everything is fine. At this point, I can stream for hours without any issues whatsoever, including ending the stream and starting a new one an hour or so later. The issue seems to re-occur the next day, on the first stream I attempt to start, but not on subsequent streams the same day.
So, it's kind of annoying, for obvious reasons. And due to the nature of the problem, I have no idea what it could be. If I need to provide any further details, please let me know.

OBS log will tell us the session issue, and the Event Viewer will show us if there's a driver fault or a hardware failure around the same time. Then, we can figure it out from there.

does anybody know if it's possible to snip the last 2/3 minutes of a stream in OBS much like you can with MedalTV for gaming? My husband and I have had fun snipping League moments using MedalTV, but I kind of hate that Medal's interface is exclusive and makes it difficult to share. For example, MedalTV video links do not play automatically in Facebook like they could if uploaded to YouTube, and you can't even comment unless you download MedalTV's software to make an account. I'm trying to find if OBS has a similar stream snip feature, since we're also familiar with that for live streaming. My use case would be recording a stream to upload later, but to save space/make editing easier I'd be cool if I could instead run OBS and press a hotkey to save off the last few minutes of recording as a separate file. I know I could just record everything and edit later, but I'd rather not sift through hours of content later looking for those 30 second funny clips. Tech setup in case it helps, but for this purpose we should have all this part figured out: Output/Broadcast Settings: screen and audio capture to upload later i.e. recording, not live video Video Settings: OBS screen capture from one player point of view, no player camera for this purpose Computer Specs: Windows desktop PCs Streaming Equipment: 2 mics hooked up to a mixer, we have this part all figured out

ours is probably a little outside that range, but you might be able to get all the pieces much more cheaply looking on eBay instead of buying new (like I think we got a pack of 3 mixing boards for $30, and found a knock-off of the mic for $50, but I can't remember where). It sounds really good though! -sE V7 dynamic microphone https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/V7mic--se-electronics-v7-supercardioid-dynamic-vocal-microphone -Behringer XENYX 2-channel mixer https://www.behringer.com/product.html?modelCode=P0575 -Steinberg 2-channel USB audio interface https://www.amazon.com/Steinberg-UR22-2-Channel-Audio-Interface/dp/B00B1FFPYO You can also skip the mixer completely, I've done that to have a smaller setup for my laptop for running tabletop RPGs (so I could mix audio from my phone in for sound effects). You miss some customizing with the channels from not including the mixer, but depending on your purposes you may not need that, and your microphone will still sound just as good.

@vulpisetclava You're looking for an all-in-one USB microphone, correct? For me, it's a toss up between the Wave:3 and the Yeti X.
12:30 AM
The Wave:3 isn't as rich as the Yeti X, but the software is much more friendly than the garbage Logitech G Hub software.
12:32 AM
@razkataz Replay buffer is an option. I do the record and edit later method, personally. I've gotten in the habit of using a specific sound, something I can see on the Audio waveform easily, that I can use as a way to quickly clip out stuff. I can push a button to have the sound show up in the stream/recording on my Stream Deck or any macro controller.
12:33 AM
It's kind of like using markers in your editor
12:35 AM
Another option is to use a timestamp software, and then have a series of buttons that take note of key events in your production. I've used this many times and it works well. Check out the InfoWriter plugin for OBS.

Using InfoWriter and a run-of-show is a really solid way of doing a production. (edited)

Your original ask was for a "mic setup" with a "USB interface". I took this to mean a USB microphone, but if you want a USB interface + a microphone, there's tons of great interfaces and XLR mics out there, and at that point it's more about the kind of sound you want and budget. For the $250 budget, I'd look at the Audient Evo 4 for the interface, leaving about $100 for a mic and cable (which isn't a lot).
