Let me preface by apologizing in advance if this has already been a post, but I couldn't find anything related to my specific issue.
The Setup:
M1 Max Macbook Pro / 64 GB Ram / MacOS Ventura 13.0
3 OBS instances / V. 27.2.4 (64 bit)
Loopback for audio capture w/ 3 individual virtual audio sources.
Brave, Edge, & DuckDuckGo browsers
The problem:
I am currently running up to 3 instances of OBS to window record 3 different browser feeds at once with Loopback routing the desktop audio. I notice in the Preview window of OBS (before I even start recording), the video is not matching. The preview is behind a few seconds compared to the browser feed. This issue is lessened (but still noticed) after a restart of the computer, but over time, things will slowly drift out of sync again. I should also note that each individual browser/OBS instance has varying degrees of lagging. When the recording starts, that in turn causes the audio to be ahead of the video. I've attempted the sync offset for audio, but as previously mentioned, there is a continuous drift that makes this setting useless after a while.
Yes, I know 3 OBS instances is overkill, but they are helpful for my use case and work better than other screen recorders for my needs. I feel that however OBS is grabbing the browser window feed is too slow, which in turns causes the audio to be ahead since it is being pulled correctly from another source. However, please advise if there is any way to resolve the lagging issue and keep the current setup, or if there are any alternatives.
