So I'm a live sound engineer and I'm upgrading my skillset into streaming events due the Covid Lockdowns and travel restrictions.
I have been experimenting with several platforms for live streaming and using remote camrea feeds.
obs.ninja has come to my attetion and so far it seems to be a good way of importing a live feed from somewhere else.
My problem is that once I have established the feed into the browser section of the obs source i have no direct control over the audio feed. there is no monitor and output control in the Advanced Settings and even with Voice Meeter I cannot find a way to turn i on and off locally while switching souces.

Hi. I'm in a similar position myself. I'm trying to put virtual gigs/sessions together to stream to facebook (to start with). OBS seems the best option so far that doesn't cost shed loads of money but has it's limitations for this kind of thing as I think it's been developed mostly for gamers. It does have a lot of sound options on it though. If you're using browser source, as as mentioned by My Living Room, you need to check the "control audio with OBS" option to bring it into the mixer. The mixer isn't set up with any kind of PFL so you'll only be able to hear it if it's in the program window so you'll have to sound check all your sources before you go live. If you right click on the browser source and select "filters", you can add Comp/EQ and vst effects to clean up the sound, which is handy. I'm having problems with the audio in OBS Ninja. I think it's the echo cancellation/noise elimination setup as it's meant for VC applications and I can't find any settings to turn all that off. Any ideas?

Is the "control audio with OBS" a function only in the windows version? I am trying to gain some control over the audio from an OBS ninja source as well but do not see this option in the properties box.

Probably you've already figured out a solution, but here's my take at the problem.

OBS indeed doesn't have PFL function, but there's a (rather creative) workaround.

1) You add an audio filter (Dedicated NDI Output Audio Only) to each of the sources you need to monitor in PFL mode.

2) You open a different NDI Studio Monitor (it's in the NDI Tools package from NewTek) for each one of the sources, and you route the audio from each monitor to one of VoiceMeeter Potato virtual inputs.

3) In Potato, you route the virtual input to your listening device.

I am in the same boat. OBS.Ninja is an amazing tool but echo/noise cancellation just killed it for me. :/ Anyone aware of anything like OBS.Ninja without the noise cancellation turned on?

I have tried using Zoom which works very well but not very confident of the quality. Let me know if you have found an option. :)
