I tried to use an old M-Audio Fast Track Pro with windows 10 and could not get it to
stop "stuttering" playing through OBS - either direct or through Voicemeeter, but Voicemeeter
output was fine) . I didn't dig to deeply, but I gleaned from posts to get the source and
OBS on the same sample rate, ideally 48khz because that what the video industry uses preferably.
The MAudio was fixed at 44.1, so I made OBS 44.1 still no good.

OK so its old, and the driver was designed for windows 8, so I can step away from it.

Now any recommendations on XLR input devices that have a good track record with OBS?
I tend to like things physically in the bus, but USB is ok too. Could be a XLR converter cable,
a recording interface, or a USB mixer. If it has multiple mic jacks, it would be nice if they
were available as separate feeds to windows. But so far we only need one audio channel in.

Thanks!

I gave Behringer USB mixers a try. THEY DO NOT LET YOU SEND AND RECEIVE USB DATA AT THE SAME TIME! You can listen to the board mix and send it to the computer, or receive a mix back but NOT listen to the mix. This means you cannot send the board mix to the computer and mix with digital sources in the computer and send back the mix and listen to it out the mains.
The pushbutton that lets you listen to the mix OR listen to the USB has verbage in the manual about it that it prevents "feedback". Well it prevents usefulness too.
I don't really see why they felt it had to operate differentlny than a traditional USB audio interface device, but they did.

I have arrived at Behringers 4 input USB audio interface
BEHRINGER UMC 404HD
as being a compatible dependable audio input device for Voicee and OBS.
