Live Audio Monitor

The Live Audio Monitor allows you to monitor and adjust audio sources in OBS. For all intent and purposes, it mimics the OBS Audio Mixer, with the addition of also being able to adjust any gain filters. Active and unmuted sources will display the audio levels of any sound from them (unfortunately you cannot monitor the audio levels of muted sources), and you can adjust the dB meter, mute/unmute and adjust gain filters on each. 

Changing scenes will automatically adjust the panel to only display audio sources on that scene. If a scene has too many audio sources to fit on the panel, the panel becomes scrollable. Audio scources will always be displayed in alphabetical order.

Audio sources in OBS are marked with a signifier so they display on the Live Audio Monitor. By default, this is ♪ and whilst it can be changed in the nodecg-obs-control config, this has already been set up to work with STUK's setup. However, should you have an additional source that you need to add to OBS and want to monitor the audio for (such as an external music player or alert overlay), you simply need to add the signifier to the start of the source's name and that will make it show up on the panel. 

Information on how STUK's audio is set up can be found in the OBS Audio guide.

The above image shows what the Live Audio Monitor would normally display when on the Intermission scene:

• Discord Mon is active, unmuted but isn't currently producing any sound. The dB meter on the left is set to -2.1 dB and the gain filter on the right is set to 0.0 dB

• Discord Out is active but muted, hence why the audio levels are greyed out. Clicking the red muted icon at the top will unmute it.

• Music is active, unmuted and is producing sound, hence the audio levels are display the peaks. The levels are displayed in real time, so adjusting either the dB meter or gain filter will immediately change the audio levels.

• The remaining P1 audio sources are all inactive, meaning they appear on the current scene, but they're not receiving any audio data (in this case, the Player 1 Stream Browser Source isn't live). As such, the audio levels aren't shown at all, but the meters can still be adjusted.
