I have a 100 ms delay set on my audio, to get it in sync with my video. I’ve noticed that at the end of every song during my live streams, as the guitar’s last notes are decaying, there’s a sudden jump in my guitar’s volume. It’s as if compression were suddenly released when the volume dropped below a certain threshold. When I checked my delay settings, I noticed that there’s a -7 db cut being applied to my mixer, which I can’t imagine I would have ever deliberately set that way. Regardless of how it got set, though, the sudden jump in volume at the end of a song happens in QuickTime recordings I make in OBS, so I can assume the issue is not a result of any compression applied by Facebook or YouTube.
Is there any good reason for a -7 db setting on the mixer when delaying audio? Is -7 db a default setting in OBS when delay is applied? I never noticed my mixer's volume was set this way until just now, and I hesitate to tweak any settings without really knowing what I’m doing. Could it be possible that OBS is detecting the end of a song, as the volume drops below a certain threshold, and ceases to apply the -7 db volume cut until I start another song? I’m attaching a screenshot. Thanks for your help.
