Here's my setup guys. I finally solved the problems.
This is on my Mac Mini July 2012 Version. Mojave OSX 10.14.2. 16GB RAM, 1x1TB SSD, 1 x 1TB HDD. Two screens or monitors. Whatever you prefer to call them. 60/40MBS Bandwidth. (Fibre Max) although I have it on WiFi network at the moment, I could switch to Ethernet, but have other stuff running that I can't change. Or don't want to spend a month doing...
So - here it is. First off. Follow the advice in the earlier HowTo put up as a video by another person who now no longer supports Mac. :-( That will get your main bits in place. No point in reinventing the wheel.
The breakthrough came when I realized that I was using my Scarlett Solo USB Preamp to Monitor sound as well as input it. Anyway, had to do a LOT of sitting and scratching my chin. Here's the result, and on YouTube is a very short video by way of an example of capturing WoW with voice-over audio.
Screen recording using iSeeU and OBS
Add your Multi-Output collection option by clicking on the + sign in that window. Found in the Utility directory - Audio/Midi
This is the OBS Settings screen showing the two Mic/Aux inputs.
Ok, next attempt, and with the Game sound turned way down so it doesn’t overpower the voice audio. Which dam it is still in Mono.
Let's see what happens when I mix down to Mono in this screen. It’s an Apple/Mic thing I thibnk…
This setup shows the Game sound in the sound bar Mic/Aux 2, and the Mic sound in the Mic sound bar in Mic/Aux.
This has got it. I turned the Monitor sound down on the Focusrite Scarletti. I put the Mic/Aux 2 slider down to -40 so I'm not overpowering the mic audio. Yet it’s still audible.
I’ve also ticked the Downmix to Mono tab in the Mic/Aux line. So, the finished option in Advanced Audio Properties looks like this,
Apple’s Preferences -> Sound. Output
and the Input. I did have Soundflower (2) and it worked, but just changing it now to iShowU it still seems to work ok.
The new soundflower actually seems to work ok.
Now this is one you may or may not need. In Accessibility, to force Apple to combine stereo channels into one dual mono channel.
So if OBS doesn’t do it - set this and it will.
Lastly, I haven’t had to use the Inject Game thing. I just set Sources on the main screen to Display Capture - and it works.
So lastly, rename the Profile to something Useful, and rename the Scene to something useful.
Then - Run a test. Found on YouTube at...

This is very short - it’s just a test to demo the above setup.
Feel free to contact me if you are having problems working this out, I know I got help here, and it was good.
