DDJ1000 + Mic + OBS + Mac

Hi. I have been looking at a previous tutorial showing how to setup a MIC on the ddj1000 to work with OBS using Soundflower and Jack. As Jack has now been updated to Jack2 the tutorial is very different from this new version and I cannot seem to get it working. Is this still possible so I can use my mic when streaming?

Many thanks

Hey Hammay,

The problem with JACK is they never updated the routing panel for 64bit use, so newer versions of macOS block it from running. Without the panel GUI, it's incredibly difficult to perform the necessary routing. Your best bet is to use an application like LoopBack or SoundSiphon as one of the other issues OBS has (and thus the necessity for JACK-style routing) is the inability to access channels other than 1/2 on an audio device. Alternatively, using another audio interface to capture the master output would work as an input to OBS.

Hi! I have this same issue, but I also have a Yamaha AG03 mixer/audio interface. So how can I combine everything to make it work?

I have two XLR cables coming out of the DDJ1000 from Output 1 to two monitor speakers. So, do I need to get cables to get the audio from Output 2 and connect it to my AG03? And what cables? RCA to TRS? But would that make the sound to be played in mono?

Oh and by the way, I have friends that have the same setup: Mac + Mic + OBS but they have the DDJ-800 and they stream without any issues and without using any external audio interfaces or anything. Just Soundflower. How can that be?

Thanks!

Hey David,

You would run the master output from the DDJ to the AG03's "2/3" connection. You can use any cable to connect from the DDJ's master outs to the 1/4" inputs on the AG03. Use the AG03 USB as your input source in OBS.

If your friends are using Soundflower, chances are they're also on an older OS, and the DDJ-800 allows for "PC Master Output" which the 1000 does not.
