Right, sorry if this comes out as a garbled mess.
I have a Numark Mixtrack Platinum controller running through Virtual DJ. I have master headphones and an external sound card this seems to have two outputs (forgive me, my knowledge on Windows sound has many gaps) a Digital Output and "Speakers". I also have a USB to 3.5mm audio jack but let's put a pin in that for now.
To business! I use the Mixtrack itself as the audio output, this is the only way I can have the headphones working as monitors and the master coming from the speakers without an annoying delay of about 0.2ms which is shit for beatmatching, however when I set up the Mixtrack as the audio source, it records both the master and the headphones simultaneously (according to the MP4 when I play it back).
Apologies if I'm not explaining it too well (also if I'm teaching Grandma to suck eggs) but this is a huge problem because the recorded output (MP4) plays both the "master" sound (what I want you to hear) and the headphones (what I don't). I have the Master set up on channels 1 & 2 on Virtual DJ and the headphones set up on channels 3 & 4 so although it sounds spot on to me, the recording picks up both.
Is there a way to get OBS to only listen to channels 1 & 2? I read somewhere that it may well be the MP4 or even VLC player causing the issue but I have no other way to test it other than going live and asking listeners which I'd really rather not do. It works fine when I split the sources so the headphone output in VDJ is the USB to 3.5mm jack and the master output is the sound card but then I have the 0.2ms which badly puts me off mixing to the point of it being unbearably annoying. The only other solution I have is to abandon the master altogether and JUST play from the headphones, but this involves much more messing around with audio levels on the controller.
I realise this issue is split across Virtual DJ, OBS and my hardware but I was hoping there was a simple solution, if I can just get OBS to pick up chan 1 & 2 then thats great, sorted. Otherwise, I'm a bit stumped.
Thanks in advance, hope this all makes sense :D
