Real time audio monitoring

[RFBC]

Is there a way to monitor the audio real time from OBS before it gets to Restream? I'm wanting our Church sound techs to be able to mix the stream audio feed separate from the In-house mix. We are running Ventura 13.6.1.

In OBS settings, Audio, set the monitor output to where you want it (e.g., a virtual input of your DAW, or whatever output sends it to the sound techs). Then, in the mixer in OBS, click the three dots and advanced properties for any of the audio inputs, and change the monitoring setting for any you want to include to Monitor and Output.

Is obs still monitoring the sources? Or is there a way to monitor the end result of Obs?

The monitor in OBS outputs whichever sources are selected to output, as adjusted in the mixer. There is no monitor output for the final mix, at least not natively. Overall, Audio mixing in OBS is not robustly implemented, if you want to do anything complex, you're better off using an external DAW and sending OBS the final audio that you want it to use.
