How to make sure your livestream audio doesn't suck: OBS / Logic Pro X / Focusrite
➡️ I’ve been live streaming my gigs on the internet since 2013, and I’m not stopping now! In this video, I talk through the equipment I use for my regular live streams, why I started them so long ago and why I’ll keep doing them even though in-person shows are possible again.
