![]() UPDATE (): I've been using the same overlay and added lots of scenes, videos, transitions and other stuff and I never got an issue using OBS on a Windows computer. ![]() The problem really comes from the Mac application that isn't optimized with Apple's hardware. OBS Project team should advise this on the download page and write somewhere that the Mac version is in beta. Some people will choose a Windows computer instead of a Mac knowing this. Been obligated to sell the mac for 2000$. Hi everyone, I've been streaming with OBS on a Mac since 2015 and I have gathered a lot of experience through the years and hopefully this post will save you quite some time. ![]() First I have to say that yes OBS is responsive on helping on their Discord but I have to say that no matter what help they can provide it won't help the fact OBS on Mac is an optimized tool. So in the end there are no fix but just runarounds that WILL impact the end quality of your product. By product I mean the resulting stream that will end up on Twitch. This is definitely the major downside of OBS Mac. I'm writing this post and the current OBS Mac version is 23.0. As you can see in my config, it's a decent computer to run a heavy and demanding stream setup. No matter how good your computer is, you WILL get missed frames due to rendering lag if you're using more than one scene with heavy customizations. Heavy customizations means a combination of, webcam capture, video backgrounds, window capture and scene integration.Īt this point you probably know it. ![]() If you noticed lag, like your mouse cursor lagging, you can verify this by going into "View > Stats" and see that the "Average time to render" is easily over 10 ms, causing the "FPS" to drop below 30.00. Causing the percentage and number of missed frames at "Frames missed due to rendering lag" to be in orange or red. This is what makes the computer and video output to lag. The only thing that'll remove all the stutter, skipping, lag, etc (apart of removing the bells and whistles of your overlay) is to keep a maximum of 1 scene per Scene Collection. Thing is that all scenes remains activated in the background so you can transition between scenes. As you have probably noticed anyway the transitions lags terribly on OBS Mac and are unusable. By the way in a Source properties checking the "Hide source when playback ends" and "Close file when inactive" will not help at all. Thanks By the way, when I looked at all the software StaticZ produces, NOTHING has been updated in a long time, not just Sound Siphon, at least from what I've observed looking at the website.So yes you'll understand that you can't have transition between your scenes because when changing to another "Scene Collection" gives a black screen for few seconds while loading. So if Anyone who reads this, has any updated info at this point, would appreciate it. I needed to have a working compatible app to use when needed. The API can be used through either JACK1 or JACK2. I had no problems with SS, but since there has been no info about what's going on that's been released. Windows Linux BSD 18 alternatives to JACK Audio Connection Kit JACK is a professional sound server daemon that provides real-time low latency connections for both audio and MIDI data between applications that implement its API. (AppDelete example here) As I mentioned in a previous comment, I've purchased AudioHijack to replace Sound Siphon until further notice. I've had that happen with apps before and didn't find anything out until a year or two later. Considering that in years past, the developer was always responsive, and updates were very timely: makes me wonder if the company went under, or the developer passed away. Since the other poster has not provided any information, I'm assuming they haven't heard anything either. It's been a few more months, and the Sound Siphon website seems unchanged, and has no updated info regarding Big Sur support.
