ok so I have a mac pro working for streaming and recording,
I love the feature in OBS that lets me have multiple audio channels.
so gameplay is in 1, my voice in 2, and Skype/TS/dicord in 3
I use soundflower as wire tap don't work anymore.
I have one thing routed to soundflower 16 and one to 64.

now for the problem, sometimes when I record its missing the 3rd channel.

I end up having to reboot and start everything in the right order to get it working, then it will stop for no apparent reason.

is anyone else having this similar situation ?
does anyone have a resolve for this?
or is it an issue with Soundflower, that maybe there is an alternate option.

sorry if I missed any info off this or anything please let me know

ok so no resolve to this at all I have tweeted OBS as I feel helpless at the moment.

I recorded 8 youtube episodes last night, much to my own fault and disappointment I didn’t do a quick test before I started like I normally do, and only 1 of the 4 audio tracks recorded, I have lost all my mic and discord, however I have been recording with it fine, nothing has changed.

OBS does this and I don’t know why.

My only resolve is to remove all the sources and audio, re set up the whole thing test record each time before I use it.

if anyone can help that would be great. ?


If not I think I am going to look into using Logic to do all my audio and just use obs as a visual capture…..

I have a similar setup. I use the following setup:

1. A multi-audio device, that contains the physical outputs, and several sound flower devices.
2. Jack Router and QJackCtl. Jack Router lets you route the audio of different programs to different devices; QJackCtl is the program that actually controls this routing.
3. Jack's big claim to fame here: It can route audio to both a speaker and a sound flower at the same time, with no loss of quality.

To make this work, Jack Router is told to use the multi-audio device as the actual output, programs all send their output to jack router (in 10.9.5, you can make jack the default audio output, and it works for most programs; it will fail for anything that is sandboxed and does not have network socket permission unless it also has custom sandbox settings. In 10.10+, it cannot be the default audio output, so it only works for programs that can select audio out).

OBS takes audio output capture on the sound flower devices, and audio input capture on the microphone.

This "works for me" on 10.9.5.
