this would be really helpful

Many streamers already use two separate audio tracks for their streams. I wish there was an option to switch between the VOD audio (usually without music due to copyright issues) and the live audio. Sometimes, I want to listen to my own music while still hearing the stream in the background.

There's definitely a cool idea here that might be more possible with the enhanced broadcasting options - I somehow doubt that's where it goes... but I do like this idea a lot!

Well you already send multiple tracks to Twitch. At least you can choose a special track for "vods". Now just need that they also send this as two tracks to the viewer and the viewer can choose which track they want to hear. If they choose track two on my stream they hear the same as what they would hear in the vods (and that's the track with no music.. but the streamer could also choose to at gameplay or something). And track 1 has all the audio.

this would be nice!!!

I've been looking for something which would separate my microphone from music when I am DJ'ing so people have the option to hear the mic or not.

Streamers struggle so hard with balancing multiple audio streams to a single audio stream and that balance never works for everyone. Sometimes you just want to hear them, sometimes you want to hear the game better. There is no good solution when everything is jammed into a single stream. This is an accessibility feature that allows the end user to make the choice on what they want to focus on.

This is a good idea, Twitch already has the ability to send two channels, one which doesn't go to the VOD (which is usually a music channel) but being able to mute that channel when the stream is live is a great idea. It would need streamers to use that channel for music always. If Twitch then added a flag that then allowed people to choose IF they music channel to VODs or not, then those who want to keep the music in VODs, but allow folks to mute it if they want.

That would be lovely, sometimes music just gets in the way, but you are not gonna ask the streamer to turn it off, this seems like a perfect inbetween

Considering streamers do this already so music doesn't show up on vods/youtube exports and such, this would be awesome. I tune out of twitch all the time strictly because of music choice.

Was gonna suggest the same thing! It's not so much about being able to mute music really, but rather separating mic and main audio.

I frequently listen to streams while playing a game of my own, and have to turn down one or the other, as it introduces a lot of noise. Being able to listed only to broadcaster without their game audio would be fantastic.

this would be a game changer

Would be great if my friends could watch my stream without hearing themselves. Ya know?!

I spent 20 min figuring out this page existed to post this idea and its already here. This would be a massive step up for the platform imo

This is necessary.

Hello, my name is Bruno Salviati, I'm from Brazil, unfortunately I don't speak English well, so I'm going to use Google Translate, I hope it can translate what I want to say.

I was watching a live, and I realized that an implementation could be part of Lives and VODs, when you receive a broadcast from OBS Studio or OBS Labs, the audio is not only separated from the video, it is separated by tracks, such as Track 1, Track 2.. and so subsequently, one of the actions would be for me to be able to broadcast with music and then this music is not registered on the VOD, which is excellent, however, if you can already have this control, why not give this control to the Spectator?

See, the idea would be a kind of gear or smaller icon in the upper corner of the Sound icon, if I click on the Sound icon, I change the volume as a whole, as it always was, however if I click in this corner it would give me more options sound, so that for example, I watch streamers that I like on GamePlay but I don't like their conversations, and this would allow me to remove the volume from their Mic, or, the opposite, it could also be a way of helping with sound balance , because I work for example while watching Twtch, and watching gameplays of shooting games, I would like to be able to turn the game's sound lower while listening more to the Streamer for example, so create a way for the user to be able to change the sounds that already come separate from OBS, it would be a way for us to adjust the sound to our liking, without being stuck with either everything loud or everything low.

+1 would love to see this option

I am testing with one video channel in spanish (my language) and other video channel (another account) with english real time translation with my voice in RVC. But if this idea were real i could stream my channel with two audio. One in spanish and another in English. it would be great

+1

+1 :-) that would enable really nice new features like separate channel for talking, music, tts, different languages, and many many more :-)
