ProTools and video streaming

[Mr. Kelly]

Hi all...

Does anyone here have experience using ProTools with live streaming?

I’d like to start doing small live concerts broadcast online on FB.

What video interface do you use? What would you recommend?

I’ve tried to do online research, but there is so much convoluted information.

Any help getting started that you might be able to offer would be great!

Thank you!

Check out OBS. I use it often.

Thank you!

i have seen OBS, but have yet to investigate it or use it.

Is it pretty easy to configure for internet usage? I’m hoping to use an HDMI output on my DSLR camera, with the PT output as sound.

Is this a relatively easy setup with OBS?

It's free and very powerful. Once you poke around, it's very very easy! The hardest part for me was plugging in the livestream information. You can arrange whatever windows you want on screen (including webcams) and choose whatever audio.

I have my Pro Tools audio down mixed to stereo, and output through my optical out on my HD Omni. The optical feeds my computer's optical input so I can send it out live.

It probably makes sense to describe the system I am using… Since a video interface will be relative to what I am running.

I have windows 10… And my outboard preamps run through my Lynx Aurora, into the dedicated Lynx USB card.

Not sure how OBS would interface with PT with that set up.

Thoughts?

There are many ways to route the audio. Easiest way is two interfaces or one interface with Loopback.

Other options are Voicemeeter or for really simple stuff, the FL Studio driver.

OBS is free, and I go over your options in may of the videos, mainly for recording, but you can stream with it too.

Streamlabs OBS is another free option that makes it a bit easier specifically for streaming.

I'll have another video out later today about using Loopback with the Evo 8 and OBS

Even if you don't have the Evo 8, the process inside OBS is exactly the same for any Loopback capable interface.
