If anyone would be kind enough to walk me through issues I am having with my DAW and OBS.
I have audio issues after recording. I am simply trying to get high quality sound and videos for both personal use and streaming via private messages, Facebook, etc.
I am using Reaper (paid), Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen and get great results in reaper. I am using a Zoom q2n 4k or my Samsung s23 ultra as a Webcam. I mute the audio between playing. When I run OBS I get weird phase issues, sometimes crackling, and sometimes clipping.
I am not familiar with OBS overall and have watched just about every video on YouTube and still can't get a quality recording via OBS.
I'm sure it's user error, but I don't know what half the settings do for avoiding these issues.
I was first getting clipping which I addressed with a limiter on my asio input from reaper. Now I am getting weird fluctuations in sound and almost like a phaser effect on the saved videos.
I have tried isolation with headphones, my studio monitors, etc.
If anyone can walk me through setting this up, I would appreciate it.
My computer is brand new Intel i9, 36g memory, 2tb ssd and I have audio set to 320,video is 1080 on the zoom or up to 8k on my Samsung s23 ultra.
Thanks in advance...
Steve

Don't ignore pinned post in this forum regarding posting OBS Studio log when asking for help/support
Are you using the Beta Application Audio Capture feature (know to cause issues)?
And check your OBS Studio log before posting. If you have audio devices at different sampling rates, fix that (not within OBS Studio, at OS level)

these free eBooks, professional created, might help in general
The Unofficial Guide to Open Broadcaster Software

I don't know what Beta Application Capture is. I am brand new to OBS and Reaper and can't find help anywhere online. The only devices I have are Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen, my laptop and a Zoom Q2n 4k as a web cam. All my settings are 48000. I have no latency issues or anything. Just a weird phase issue. For example, I record a video playing live guitar to a song in Reaper, everything sounds great in my headphones or monitors. After hitting record in OBS, the sound gets really weird like a phase issue with audio drop outs. Everything is updated. I'm at a loss for what is causing this issue.
