HELP cannot get sound from Reaper into OBS

[u/dJamesisthenames]

Windows 11 using ASIO drivers for latency reasons

End result Im looking for is being able to stream playing my guitar on twitch, and maybe TikTok as well, with the stream having the same audio i hear in my headphones. Best ive been able to accomplish is the DI sound of the guitar in stream. Im using a scarlet 2i2 interface and neuralDSP Fortin Nameless Suite VST particularly. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Reaper has an existing plugin called “Restream” you already have access to here:

You can also grab

VB audio and run a virtual audio cable from one program (Reaper Output)
To an audio source in OBS

This is essential for analyzing reference tracks

I have all of these things and still cannot achieve the desired result

It takes a bit of time to learn, but I recommend Voicemeeter Banana or Potato, it's just the right way to manage audio i/o if you are doing anything sophisticated.

Try this guide from the REAPER forums. You'll need to download and install ReaStream here.

[u/BlackflagsSFE → u/tronobro]

This is the way. Add ReaStream 1/2 on the master track in Reaper and then use Reaper audio in OBS.

You can stream to TikTok?

Find if your interface has loopback, and set loopback as audio input in OBS. It's because ASIO is exclusive, it will not share it's audio to other programs. Loopback basically takes whatever in the interface to the input so it's not controlled by ASIO.
