Free broadcaster: scenes, cameras, overlays and per-source audio routing.
Workflow
Stream a Set
How do I go live without the audio sounding terrible?
Streaming is an audio-routing problem first, a camera problem second, and a copyright problem you should decide about before you start.
The path
- DJ audio
- Virtual device
- OBS
- Scene
- Platform
Step by step
How to run it
Choose the platform for the rights, not the reach
Licensed platforms will not mute your archive.
Route audio through a virtual device
Keep DJ output separate from system sound and mic.
Test-record before going live
Five minutes to disk, played back on headphones, catches every routing mistake.
Light the booth
One soft key light beats any overlay you can add later.
