![]() ![]() Install Blackhole (sort of a poor man’s Loopback).This appears to be an issue with OS/X Catalina, mentioned here (with the proper command-line invocation to use to avoid the problem): You MUST start it from a terminal window. OBS (in its most-current version) has issues with ALL routing software when started from the icon/Finder.For alternate OS/X audio-routing software, I’m using Blackhole. OBS appears to have issues with the OS/X version of JACK couldn’t get it to work.Highly recommended as a testing technique. In order to test properly without further alienating my friends (thank you for your patience, Karl and Charles), I set up a bogus JK user on a dual-boot laptop that runs Windows.So to be fair, it ain’t all Apple’s fault. In this case, the problem was complicated by defects in OBS, which appears to have troubles playing nicely with OS/X Catalina. Of course, there’s a vigorous aftermarket in add-on audio routing products (I regularly use Audio Hijack, but got sticker shock from Loopback, which looks like a really good, if pricey, product). Nowhere is that more true than it is with audio routing. ![]() Years ago somebody said that Apple products are characterized by a very shallow learning curve that very quickly becomes a vertical brick wall. I’ve done a lot of hating on OS/X audio already here, but I just can’t hate it enough - it’s the worst of Apple arrogance, in which they set things up to be “easy to use” - and they are, until you actually try to do anything with them. ![]() Getting JamKazam’s video into OBS was simple it’s just a window-capture of the JamKazam video window, and I was able to very quickly configure OBS to take video input from JamKazam’s video and from some music-visualization software ( BTW, invoking JK’s video-shuffler, which automatically changes the video-window layout when there are multiple players in the window, crashed the machine - that’s the next challenge).īut audio was a pain in the ass.
