Problem with drivers and streaming [Traktor3pro+S2 MK3+Behringer UMC404HD + turntable]

innerdrum

Hi, all

i broke my dj mixer and decide to try a controller for the first time but i would like to continue use my audio interface and not the S2 one (i consider my audio interface has superior sound fidelity)

On the room sound and cue is always fine (i monitor with headphones connected to the audio interface) with whatever driver i choose (Behringer UMC WASAPI exclusive/shared or UMC ASIO)

Problem is when i add OBS to the setup. OBS meter will only go up if i choose UMC WASAPI SHARED mode on traktor settings but latency is not the best and theres some random audio skipping.

If i choose WASAPI EXCLUSIVE mode, it won't pick up

and If i choose UMC ASIO on traktor + the ASIO plugin for OBS, it only pickups my turntable on inputs 1-2 of the audio interface.

NOTE: on wasapi shared and wasapi exclusive i'm not able to set input routing for the turntable (shows as DISABLED inputs)

i've never used a controller before and have mixed feelings about it. i still miss my mixer lol.

English is not my native languaje and im not using any translation services. Thank you for your patience

Thanks in advance,

Nicolás

forgot to ask this and there's no edit button on previous post, sorry.

If im stucked with WASAPI SHARED MODE, is it possible to reduce the latency somehow?

Always use ASIO, it is far-far superior from any aspect.

I know that OBS does not support ASIO natively, but there is a very good plugin for this.

After installing it, you will be able to use ASIO in OBS Studio :-)

I also use it since long ago!

What latency do you have if i may ask? @Sunborn

Thanks for your reply

I use 128, but my audio card supports it without a problem. It may be not the same for you.

The only sure way to know, is to experiment with various latency values. Start from low, lets say 32 or 64. If you experienced audio crackles and clicks, raise the value to 128, then 256, 512, 1024 until you get a stable and clear sound. However... if you go beyond 1024 and still have issues, then you definitely need a better audio card. :-)

by the way, i also use Behringer UMC, but a different model UMC404HD 192k

@Sunborn rn i have the same audio interface the U-PHORIA UMC404HD (i know its overkill for dj'ing but i plan to produce...someday)

Will try again emuling your settings and using the plug-in. Thanks again ☻
