Audio Issues During Church Live Streams: Missing Instrument Sound

I serve at my church by handling live streaming on YouTube. During the broadcasts, the sound from the band doesn’t come through completely, making it impossible to hear the instruments (drums, bass, acoustic guitar, keyboard). What could be a possible solution to this problem?

Please look if this

or this

describes your issue right. To be short: Remove noise suppression filter. It drops legato (hence musical) parts.

Depends on your mixer setup, microphones, mixer connection to OBS Studio, and OBS Studio audio settings
Typically it is strongly recommended that you have a different audio mix for livestreaming vs in-house audience.
For example, mic'ing a choir and pipe organ for in-house audience isn't required, but absolutely IS required for live stream audience
then there is the common need for at least some compression on livestream audio
So in our case, we have a number of mics/channels that are not amplified in-house, but are used in AUX sub-mix, and go to OBS Studio.
