Excuse my question but what exactly is the main benefit MixKey that cant be done with OBS?

I am of the impression that adding Cubase and a microphone to OBS is quite fiddly (?). I am very new to this. I tried it the other day with MixKey, and I had a lot of issues.

Do you find it easy to stream/record the screen with Cubase via OBS? I watched a video by Chris Salem on how to do this, and it was so much work in order to do one (seemingly) simple thing…

OBS cannot directly read multi-channel ASIO drivers (used by most DAWs for low latency) on its own.

So you usually use another software to get the Audio from the DAW using the best ASIO drivers alongside OBS.

I have used MIXKEY its very good.

At the same time you can stream live, while capturing your mic inputs on your interface and the DAW and the Internet at the same time.

Example:

While streaming on Twitch/Youtube live you can

  1. Talk into a microphone.
  2. Play a guitar through the interface.
  3. Play something from the internet ie… a Youtube video/Spotify
  4. Play what is in your DAW.

It is a versatile piece of software, suitable for people who want to make DAW tutorials, stream live DAW sessions, Stream live radio stations using spotify or virtual DJ software etc.

You will use it with OBS.

  1. OBS → screen capture and recording audio from Mixkey.
  2. MIXKEY → Records audio from multiple sources using ASIO drivers, to be fed into OBS.
