Audacity For Live Streaming



Hey guys. I'm getting very close to starting my YouTube channel, and I need some tips and advice. I have both OBS Studio and Audacity installed, but I was wondering, since OBS can already record my microphone's audio, what is the point in Audacity? Should I be recording audio with both, or just the video with OBS? What are the dis/advantages of either? Also, what are the optimal settings of OBS to get the highest possible quality of video and audio? I have a Blue Yeti Pro, if that matters, though I'm not using the XLR input yet (still gotta get the thing it plugs into, which is another topic entirely because I don't know a single thing about those). Also, what format should I save the video as? MP4? Mov? FLV?
I don't know what most of the settings in either program mean so the more details provided the better. Explain like I'm 5 please. ^-^

  • Go to Setup>I/O patch then QUdrive. There is your touting screen. Select which channels to the USB B out. Then arm the channels you want to record in your DAW.

    Not sure. I’ve only used it on Pro Tools and Studio One. Not real familiar with Audacity DAW.

    I think the options are in the preferences menu – which isn’t necessarily obvious.

    There is a section on recording interfaces, which then
    Allows you to select how many channels to
    Record.

    Arrange the ones you want as the first n from the Qu, then just record n channels on audacity…

    BJ, have you downloaded and installed the A&H ASIO driver for the QU on your laptop?

    Hmmmmm…

    Trouble with a freeware program not walking on water?

    Golly.

    In doing a quick search around Audacity, it appears that there is a fork in the terminology road. Multi-track does not mean the same as multi-channel…apparently,
    the difference being overdub capability versus simultaneous recording of multiple channels.

    Sounds like time for Reaper or PT.

    Linux is free and supports core audio… it’s not expensive.

    I have remembered that i did have to compile and ASIO enabled version of audacity when I was doing it on a P400 though…

    Why stream to PC rather than recording multitrack on a USB stick?

    church-cheap

    Use Reaper. It’s $60 for individuals, small businesses and non-profits.
