Hi, I'm in desperate need of help!

I downloaded the plug in and installed it just fine, however when I select my Focusrite 2i4 gen2, my DAW (Ableton) produces a static noise, as well as I don't receive any audio from my DAW.

Any reason why? does the plugin not support the 2i4?

OBS-ASIO is not the plugin for this. That video is about ASIO Inputs, that is also what OBS-ASIO is for.

DAW audio is ASIO Output, what you need is ReaStream VST from the ReaPlugs FX Suite.

In Ableton on your Master track.

Identifier = default
Send = *local broadcast or 127.0.0.1 (either works, use 127.0.0.1 if *local broadcast doesn't for some odd reason)

In OBS on your Desktop Audio Track (You must launch OBS as Administrator)

Identifier = default
Receive

Done.

All ASIO audio from your DAW will be routed to OBS through ReaStream with minimal delay

Do you have your VSTs in a custom folder? It should be as simple as Add filter>VST, assuming you installed them in the correct folder and have ReaStream

Windows (*.dll)
  • C:/Program Files/Steinberg/VstPlugins/
  • C:/Program Files/Common Files/Steinberg/Shared Components/
  • C:/Program Files/Common Files/VST2
  • C:/Program Files/Common Files/VSTPlugins/
  • C:/Program Files/VSTPlugins/

Then you will need to create a symlink

1. Create this folder - C:/Program Files/VSTPlugins/
2. Open up command prompt
3. type cd C:/Program Files/VSTPlugins/
4. type mklink /D OBSPlugins D:\VSTs\

(replace D:\VSTs\ with your custom VST folder path)

This will create a symbolic link between your Custom VST folder and Program Files/VSTPlugins, allowing OBS to see your VSTs

The command to remove the symlink is rmdir OBSPlugins

Though I highly doubt it was the symlink causing OBS to crash

Just jumping in here - I have tried to use this ReaStream plugin with no luck but for a different reason. I have the plugin in Cubase 10 working just fine and I can filter the plugin in OBS but no audio is actually coming through. The plugin in OBS that is set to receive audio isn't receiving anything at all. I've tried both *localbroadcast and 127.0.0.1 with no luck. Identifier set on both as default. Any advice?

Idk if this is relevant for you, but what worked for me was changing my driver from ASIO to MME, because ASIO doesn’t allow you to route audio to OBS. I'm using Ableton and a Scarlett 2i4 interface. Hope this helps!

EDIT - switching drivers is enough for Ableton to route audio to OBS, I removed the plugin and it still works!

Do you mind explaining where and how you "switched drivers" from ASIO to MME? On which side? DAW or OBS? I've done all the stuff above and have the same problem - no audio coming through on the OBS ReaStream meter, whilst it shows plenty of action on the filter meter on my Cubase LE.
