Setting up audio for new streamers is complicated, and confusing, but after hours of work, your mic sounds great, your game is clear, and music, well it’s amazing, you’ve done it!... except your viewers keep screaming at you to fix your audio.

Today, we’re going to be setting up a tool called Sonar For Streamers, that works with OBS or Streamlabs to route your different audio sources carefully into different channels, and then into OBS, allowing you to have much better control over your audio. I am also going to show you how to set up your OBS recordings to have separate audio tracks for your game, music, discord, and microphone audio in OBS.

What are Virtual Audio Channels?

If you’re a beginner think of it like this, when you plug a microphone into your Computer, you get a Microphone Source that you can add to OBS, and if you plug a second Mic in, you get a second microphone source to add as well. Two different sources, two different mics.

Sonar creates new virtual audio sources on your computer, like adding a microphone, but rather than sending your voice to that source, you’re sending your computer programs that create audio, so your games, spotify, google chrome, you name it.

How To Add Global Audio Sources To OBS

Open OBS, Click Settings, go to Audio, and select your microphone.

I want you to remove your mic, and all your other captures, set them to disabled, and instead just add SteelSeries Sonar - Stream to Mic/Aux Audio 1, from there, click apply, and you’ll see this single audio level at the bottom.

To truly make your microphone sound amazing, you’re going to want to learn to use filters in your broadcast software. Now all three of these filters exist in slobs and obs, I’d recommend using them almost all the time, They are Noise Suppression, A limiter, and a Noise gate.

The style of this video is similar to Alpha Gaming and Gaming Careers in parts. A large influence on this series has come from content creators like Wild4games and Nutty.
