Streamer Mix Outputs

Short answer: streamer mix outputs are planned desktop audio features for routing different mixes to local monitoring, OBS, or Discord.

Use Cases

  • Hear game audio locally while your hardware guitar tone stays outside FeedBack.
  • Send game audio plus in-app tone to a stream.
  • Send game audio plus hardware tone to a stream.

Core Concepts

Term Meaning
Local monitor What the player hears.
Stream mix What OBS, Discord, or another app receives.
Dry input A clean direct instrument signal.
Wet tone A processed tone from hardware or in-app modeling.
Bus A named mix with selected sources and levels.

Common Routing Shapes

Simple Discord Session

The player hears the game locally. Friends hear the game plus the player's instrument tone through the stream or call.

OBS Stream

The stream receives a selected mix that may differ from what the player monitors. This can help prevent double-monitoring or accidental guitar bleed.

Hardware Rig

The player hears guitar through their own hardware rig, while FeedBack sends a separate stream mix that includes either a re-amped direct signal or the hardware wet signal.

Current Status

This page is a launch planning page. The feature is desktop-focused and may depend on platform-specific audio routing. Use it to explain the design direction without promising that every routing option is available in every build.

Platform Notes

Platform Notes
Windows OBS/Discord capture can depend on available endpoints and driver mode.
macOS Virtual audio devices may be needed for some routing.
Linux PipeWire-style routing may make advanced paths easier.

Safety Notes

  • Start with low output volume.
  • Avoid routing call audio back into the same call input.
  • Use headphones when testing voice-chat or stream-monitoring paths.
  • Confirm "what you hear" and "what stream hears" separately.

Design Handoff Notes

The final page should include:

  • OBS setup path.
  • Discord setup path.
  • "What you hear" vs "what stream hears" explanation.
  • Platform limitations.
  • Safety notes for feedback/monitor loops.
