A Minute To Talk About Routing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I would ponder that most, or at least many, people go through the experience that I did with OBS. Initial uber excitement of all the possibilities and then a lot of head-scratching maybe some words of frustration muttered at the computer screen under your breath.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you playback the videos you record or while you&rsquo;re streaming, the sounds that should be coming from FL Studio are absent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, rather than launching OBS Studio right away and fumbling around until you get things to record, only to have no FL Studio sounds saved into the video file&hellip; Like I did. Let&rsquo;s walk through the setup process and mix in the crucial and often overlooked step of properly routing the audio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is going to differ depending on the operating system you&rsquo;re running.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&rsquo;m on a Mac, so we&rsquo;ll look at that first. Windows users, don&rsquo;t worry. There will be information provided for you as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-3-setup-routing-for-mac\"><strong>Step 3. Setup Routing For Mac<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The operating system on Mac is a weird one in terms of how the default OS level audio support and routing are handled. This is one of those cases where a third-party application is required to bridge between two other applications.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To solve the issue of FL Studio sounds not routing into OBS Studio, we can use&nbsp;<strong>Blackhole.<\/strong>&nbsp;Don&rsquo;t worry! Blackhole is free, and it&rsquo;s a solid little app that I used myself and would recommend to a friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Downloading Blackhole does require an email address, but so far, I haven&rsquo;t received an egregious amount of spam or anything, so happy days!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Download Blackhole&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/existential.audio\/blackhole\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow the same process as before with OBS Studio. Download and then launch the installation application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s an easy installation process; however, once the Blackhole is installed, you&rsquo;re not going to use it or launch it like you would a typical application.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&rsquo;s look at how to know if it&rsquo;s been installed and then how to configure it for FL Studio and OBS Studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&rsquo;s use Spotlight to launch the system application Audio MIDI Setup.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the key area of the operating system to interact with Blackhole and ensure the installation process was successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re unfamiliar with Spotlight, you can learn more about it&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/718935\/how-to-quickly-launch-a-mac-app-with-spotlight\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Press Cmd+Space<\/strong>&nbsp;to quickly open Spotlight. Then&nbsp;<strong>type Audio MID<\/strong>, and you should see the application appear in the list of search results.&nbsp;<strong>Use the down arrow key to select it and press Enter.<\/strong>&nbsp;This will launch the Audio MIDI Setup control panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here you can see it&rsquo;s been successfully installed on my system. Yours should look similar to this.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"601\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Install-BlackHole-Onto-System.jpg\" alt=\"Install BlackHole Onto System\" class=\"wp-image-7426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Install-BlackHole-Onto-System.jpg 601w, https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Install-BlackHole-Onto-System-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 601px) 100vw, 601px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"601\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Install-BlackHole-Onto-System.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Install BlackHole Onto System\" class=\"wp-image-7426 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Install-BlackHole-Onto-System.jpg.webp 601w, https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Install-BlackHole-Onto-System-300x225.jpg.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 601px) 100vw, 601px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.homemusicmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Install-BlackHole-Onto-System.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-2\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>You may have other routing going on, and that&rsquo;s fine.
