Hi Connor, this article intentionally sets up OBS to allow Spotify playback without the audience hearing it.

If you ever catch an itch to understand how something works, I encourage you to follow it. My advice is to make small tweaks rather than sweeping changes. Hopefully, this quick how-to helps you get the desired sound your looking for! Just be careful not to overdrive your sound system – there are no checks or safety measures in place to stop you from pushing your hardware past its limits with VST filters. Audio has been one of those journeys of discovery for me, and I’ve fallen down so many rabbit holes in my research and experimentation.

I basically can’t go without it, as music is my constant companion in my writing journey. I’ll admit that I am a low-key audiophile, though, so YMMV.īut hey, if I have the ability to improve my listening experience for free, why wouldn’t I make it better? (Subjectively speaking, of course.) I love listening to music, so being able to EQ my music is a huge benefit to me while leaving all other sounds as they were.
