How to send aux out from my mixer to OBS using USB?

Post by Jeffrey Gian »

Im new into streaming and have little knowledge about mixing and stuff i would like to know how i can send my aux out from Ui24R(mixer)to OBS.
There's a lot of option to pick from the drop list, in the 'audio input/ouput capture' option in OBS.
I've a pic of it but don't know how i can upload to this thread?
This is Audio output capture;

I had a thought that audio output capture might take my aux signal to usb, it didn't. (I used Line out 03/04 and 01/02)

We used Mic/line in 01/02

The forum doesn't have any picture hosting capability, so you'll need to host the picture elsewhere (e.g. Imgur) and use the linking facility from the toolbar. make sure the link has either .jpg or .png at the end of the link, otherwise you'll be linking to the page the picture is on and it won't display.

Reliably fallible.

I am guessing here, because I don't have direct experience of the Soundcraft, but I suspect the Aux out you want to use is mapped to a physical output in that list?

Can you explain a bit more what to is you are trying to achieve?

The Soundcraft has a slightly different way of communicating with the outside world than other digi-mixers but my exploration when we were shopping suggested it was not a completely different animal.

Most mixers allow you to remap the various physical inputs to virtual outputs, that's the first place I'd start looking.

basically we want to connect the usb port(USB i/f as mentioned in the mixer) to a pc and want to stream it using obs, we want to use aux 1 of the mixer as the input for the obs. In OBS i am bombarded with so many ports to select from.
Basically mapping my aux to usb. Hopefully i made it clear.

Looking at the GUI demo, if you take settings (Gear Icon top right), then select the Patching tab, you can select the channel and hardware out mapping sections. That should get you close to determining which outputs map to the auxes

Hope that helps

Looks like:
  • Settings/patching/
    Left column - cascade outs
    Top row - masters
    Click in the matrix to connect Aux1 with Slot, whatever (1-32)
    Go back to OBS and see what shows up.
Report back.
