Question / Help Live audio from GarageBand to Zoom with OBS

[Jack0T]

Hey guys
I'm working as a music therapist, and with COVID we're moving all our sessions online. I'm wanting to run a vocal track and DI acoustic guitar track in garage band, and send that audio live to Zoom to improve the sound quality (mic'd up acoustic guitar into zoom sounds terrible when you start singing). I have looked into using OBS to achieve this, but I can't work out how to do it.
Has anyone out there tried a setup like this?
Thanks in advance!

This worked perfectly for sending audio from GB to Zoom. I hope it helps you. https://medium.com/@joejobbs/garageband-and-zoom-meetings-9df10f623d5b

Are you also able to send your desktop audio to zoom at the same time. File playback from QuickTime for example.

You really should use "original" sound if you're trying to pipe all that good audio into zoom.
The audio processing in the client is really geared to voice conference calls, ie: not music/singing/etc.
Here's the reference to enable that setting: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115003279466-Enabling-option-to-preserve-original-sound
Once you do this in your zoom client; you'll see a "Turn On Original Sound" button in the upper left corner. You need to enable this everytime you join a meeting if you're try to send "good" (ie: music vrs. regular speach) audio.
