How to use Twitch Audio Track feature with Elgato Wavelink

To eliminate music from your Twitch VOD using Wave Link and OBS, follow these detailed steps:

Step 1: Set Up Wave Link

1. Open the Wave Link software.
2. Create a new input within Wave Link and give it a name, like “Spotify” or the name of your music source.
3. In Wave Link, mute the stream icon for the music source to prevent it from being heard on your stream.

Step 2: Configure OBS

4. Launch OBS (Open Broadcaster Software).
5. Within OBS, create a new source by selecting “Audio Output Capture.”

Step 3: Select the Wave Link Music Device

6. In the settings for the “Audio Output Capture” source, choose “Wave Link Music” as the device.

Step 4: Configure OBS Audio Mixer

7. Access the OBS audio mixer.
8. Click on the gear icon next to the “Wave Link Music” source you just added in the audio mixer.
9. Ensure that only “Track 1” is selected. This will separate the audio tracks for further control.

Step 5: Set Up Twitch VOD Track

10. In OBS, navigate to the “File” menu and select “Settings.”
11. In the settings, go to the “Output” tab.
12. Check the box that says “Twitch VOD Track” and ensure “Number 2” is selected. This will ensure that the music source is isolated from your VOD.

Step 6: Adjust Music Volume

13. With this setup, you can now control the music volume separately from your stream.
14. Adjust the music source’s volume to around 50% or lower to balance it with your stream audio.

By following these comprehensive steps, you can effectively eliminate music from your Twitch VOD while retaining control over the music’s volume for your personal use during the stream, thus maintaining an optimal audio balance for your content.
