Hello obs community I'm planning to stream 24/7 music on youtube live. What are the best settings for streaming music without compromising audio quality. Even when i have low upload speed of 2mbps

I tried last week to stream some recordings and they muted my stream for copyright infringement.
I don't stream there at all because they seem to be too selective in what they allow.
I have even had them pull individual songs from videos I have uploaded.

That's been my experience, maybe yours will be better.

Set audiobitrate to 320Kbps.
OBS will stream only audio channel 1.
Enable AAC encoding for best quality.
https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/obs-studio-enable-coreaudio-aac-encoder-windows.220/

Output encoder x264
Preset veryfast (or superfast, or ultrafast, depending on your CPU)
Set stream bitrate 1200 Kb maximum ( 1.2 + .32 = 1.52 Mbits) [1500 + .320 = 1820 you can also try this]
CBR
Keyframe interval 2
You can include some video but quality won´t be good.
Rescale in VIDEO options to 1280x720x30fps [Lanczos gives better image, but if your CPU is not powerful, try bicubic or bilinear)
