FlexASIO VS obs-asio

I had a similar issue with my setup, I suggest using FLEXASIO. Youll need to download flexasio and the gui component to use it. https://github.com/dechamps/FlexASIO

The problem I have with FlexASIO is that it only supports having 1 input while the katana requires multiple. See: https://github.com/dechamps/FlexASIO/issues/147

The UMC-22 has a budget Midas-type pre-amp which is hard to beat under $200. That said, the UMC-22 also has terrible ASIO4ALL based drivers which can partially be worked around by using something like FlexASIO. Ultimately though, the drivers won't matter unless you are using heavier VST plugins for your voice/audio input.

FlexASIO allows none exclusive mode but it does it in a different way to regular ASIO drivers. You will have to give it a try to see if it can provide a latency that is acceptable. It is meant to work with more hardware than regular ASIO drivers. I suspect that latency might be compromised somewhat but give it a try to see if it works okay for you. It does explain how it works compared to other ASIO drivers on the github page.

FlexASIO is the modern and IMO better alternative to ASIO4ALL, just sayin.

You could try https://github.com/dechamps/FlexASIO It's a universal asio driver that allows non-exclusive mode

I haven't tried it yet, but someone suggested this plugin for OBS if you want to continue using your interface drivers: https://github.com/Andersama/obs-asio

- I use OBS as an intermediary to set up a virtual Webcam that combines the Audio from my DAW, my Mic and all other souces. There is a plugin for OBS called obs-asio that allows it to recognize ASIO sound sources.

I had this problem whenever I was figuring out my OBS set up. have you made sure you’re using the same kHz rate? 44.1 or 48, make sure it’s constant on every application you’re using windows, OBS and if you’re using any audio software then that as well. I also downloaded the OBS Asio driver and use that for my sources, https://github.com/Andersama/obs-asio you can find it here. With my Apollo twin X interface even if I have everything set up correctly it’ll sound crunchy and choppy unless I use the ASIO driver as my source and disable global audio devices, took me a while but I finally got it to work for me

This is the plugin: GitHub - Andersama/obs-asio: ASIO plugin for OBS-Studio

EDIT looks like a version has come out that supports versions 28, but I haven't tested it yet https://github.com/Andersama/obs-asio/releases

Our setup was that I would record video with obs and record audio with Ableton. Then sync the two media...But the setup is not good for streaming and is generally not possible to replicate for someone else because ableton is not free. We did this because we could collaborate with different people but i ended up doing everything, So I decided to merge them all to OBS...and god i was wrong. OBS doesn't have a good way to input ASIO devices. So i downloaded a Plugin from GitHub that lets me select ASIO devices but It's not stable (crackles, crashes, etc.) and very buggy.

I use https://github.com/Andersama/obs-asio to get ASIO output from my device into OBS. You can set up multiple ASIO audio devices inside OBS. Using the Pioneer configuration tool, I have my USB channels set as follows:
