Streaming to OBS from XDJ-XZ standalone

Hi!

I get horrible sound quality after about 10-20 minutes, when doing recordings of DJ set with my XDJ-XZ (standalone) via OBS. Sound just gets worse and worse, ending up like a chopper.


This is really frustrating, as i can`t notice the problem while DJ`ing. Only when watching the recording when complete.

I eventually plan on streaming my sets on Twitch, however i guess it`s smart to fix these recordings first, as the sound will probably be the same on live sets?

- OBS is running on a pretty new gaming PC. No problem with performance during recording.
- XDJ-XZ is connected to the PC via Komplete Audio 2 audio interface.
- Audio sample rate in OBS is set to 48 kHz, which is also what i have on the recording device in Windows.
- I`m not redlining on either the mixer, sound interface or in OBS when playing.
- Also worth mentioning, I did not have this problem with my old DJ controller i ran via Rekordbox.

Anybody got any suggestions?

Hard to say with so many variables

Windows or MAC?

I've had overloading issues because I was watching my OBS meters and not the meter displaying the incoming signal (Win10, Sound, Recording, check the little meter next to your input:

I have also seen issues with OBS and ASIO drivers that don't play nice together.

When you're playing are you monitoring the XDJ, Computer, Audio Interface or OBS? If it's any of the above except OBS you probably wouldn't notice any issues, but if your monitoring your OBS output (not recommended when DJing because of the slight delay) you may well hear your bad sound.

What are your OBS Output settings set to? I usually set the audio bitrate to 320, video bitrate around 2500, you could try changing the encoder settings just to see what happens? Beneath Streaming in the "Output" settings there's the Recording settings try mp4 which I have found to be a bit more stable than mkv

How are you connecting XDJ to the Audio interface? The XLRs on the interface may well be only for microphones which are more sensitive and could easily be more prone to distortion? Try the unbalanced RCA/phono outs from the XDJ to the interface inputs

Good luck mate
