If you haven't configured your mic yet to a default working setup yet, now is a good time to do so. Set our microphone input to a comfortable pickup level Make sure you're downloading the correct executable for your computer (which is probably going to be the 64-bit version).Ĭonveniently, when you run the installer, it should automatically register itself into your machine so that OBS can discover it for the next steps.

The Reaper VST plugins are collectively called ReaPlugs, and you can download the installer for your system here. You'll need to have OBS already installed on your machine - we're assuming you already have that. The only caveat is that the Reaper VST plugins are only available on Windows platforms, so you'll only be able to do this on a Windows machine.

So what we'll eventually end up building is a pipeline of Reaper audio filters that clean up your microphone audio before it goes into your stream or recording, all within the OBS software interface. Even better, OBS also allows you to bring in third-party VST plugins to supplement and extend what you already get out of the box.

That's not what we're doing today (although it's an interesting setup to learn about as well).įortunately, a good amount of the audio filters that Reaper uses is available as a set of VST plugins for absolutely free. It's traditionally set up so that the audio from your microphone flows into Reaper, wherein you can set up a pipeline of audio filters, which eventually is then output into wherever it needs to go (normally, your recording).

The suite costs USD 60.00 for a personal license (which a lot of my audiophile colleagues say is worth the investment). Reaper is an impressive software suite for working with digital audio. It's very powerful, and while it's not the simplest tool if you just want to get set up and running quickly, it's relatively easy to use considering what you can get out of it.

OBS is free and open-source software for video recording and livestreaming. If you've got better ideas, please do share. I'm pretty sure someone who knows more about the subject than I do is bound to chime in and point me to better ways of doing these, and that's alright. I just wish I still had info on where I got most of my notes from for attribution. I've looked into setting up a livestreaming setup a few years back for my own video games, and this is the equivalent of me pulling out my old (handwritten!) notes on the topic and sharing them out (and effectively digitizing them as well). Before all that though,Īdmittedly, I'm definitely no audio engineer. If you're using Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) to record, I'd like to share a handful of things you can do beforehand to help ensure your voice sounds cleaner, crisper, and much more professional. There's a lot of factors that go into the quality of spoken voice - the background noises from where you do your recordings, the quality of your actual microphone, and even the nuances of your own voice. However, unlike most any other element you're including in your recording, audio from a microphone will tend to be very finicky. Both Cockos and various third-party plugins are working.In this time of global pandemic, not only are there more people jumping onto remote online meetings, but there seems to be more people trying out livestreaming and recording videos for the benefit of others online. Other than that, everything seems to be working okay. I have bounced around in "Options > Customize menus tools bars" a bit, but have not found anything that seems to relate. I have seen this previously, so I know what to look for - the opportunity to click to allow a program to load. I have gone to "System Preferences > Security & Privacy" to see if it needs permission to load these programs. In other words, I see no sign that either SWS or ReaPack has installed. SWS actions do not appear in the Actions list, and there is no Extensions option in the top menu. (There was already one file in the folder: reaper_csurf_ImpactLX88+ReaperDawControl.dylib - which I recognize as being for my MIDI keyboard) dylib files for both SWS (reaper_sws-arm64.dylib) and ReaPack (reaper_reapack-arm64.dylib)Ģ) In REAPER, used "Options > Find REAPER Resources path in explorer/finder" to determine the correct folder to move them to ( Library/Application Support/REAPER/UserPlugins/ )ģ) Copied the files to the above folder.
