If you want hardware, then the Focusrite Scarlett Solo is right up there in affordable/good.
morphine wrote:I'm not strictly following here, as I don't see why there's a need for an interface with many inputs . You already have your Zoom mixer, so you already have your mix done, and all you require is to get it into OBS via a quality line-level input, right? Or did I misunderstand the issue?
morphine wrote:My idea was just getting the Focusrite (actually the 2i2, not the Solo) to hook up to your laptop. Pull master outs from Zoom into it at the front, then bring up the Scarlett's 1/2 stereo pair as your OBS input. The only thing I'm assuming here, which I think the Scarlett drivers do, is pulling both inputs as a single stereo pair. That's almost always a given with audio interfaces, but you never know.
morphine wrote:Another thing that's odd is that in theory your Zoom interface should also let you pull one of its stereo pairs into OBS.
morphine wrote:So I took a look at the manual, but it's inconclusive. The quick way to check is to make sure you have the latest firmware and drivers, then see if in Windows, in the sound settings, under Input devices, you have a list that reads something like "Input 1/2", "Input 3/4", and so on and so forth. In theory, you will, and then if I had to guess, 1/2 or 13/14 will be the master mix. Also check if it's not under "disabled devices" for some reason.
morphine wrote:Another thing to check is the driver control panel, there's always one. There may be non-obvious options about how you want the input channels to be treated by the host OS. As an example, IIRC, in MOTU gear, you can actually get surround sound by checking a box.
In my specific case with my Audient, I get stereo pairs in the host OS (outside of an ASIO context) for both inputs and outputs.
