Hi @leomac, that’s a very informative guide that @offworldlive referred you to. Spout does not support audio. So if you need both audio and video, you could investigate [this plugin](https://github.com/pixsperdavid/jit.ndi) by David Butler for Max 8. The [OBS NDI plugin](https://github.com/Palakis/obs-ndi) by Stéphane Lepin also supports both audio and video. If these plugins work together, you could use OBS directly for recording both audio and video. Alternatively you could bypass OBS and use the Newtek Studio Monitor from their [Tools package](https://www.ndi.tv/tools/). ---

You should find documentation in the NDI tools download. If that is not clear, just run Test Patterns and then Studio Monitor. It should work immediately. If that works OK you can download and copy the jit.ndi plugin to your Max packages directory to get that working within Max using the help patches and documentation included in the package. Then you should be able to get the same working within Ableton, but I can’t give you step-by-step instructions for that. ---

looks cool but can you not get a Spout output that you can pickup in OBS with the Spout plugin rather than doing window capture? ---

i think that you can Spout output from Ableton Live? So why not use the [OBS Spout plugin](https://github.com/Off-World-Live/obs-spout2-plugin) to receive your Abelton visuals? At the moment you are using window capture so you have to play with window size etc to get the resolution you want. ---

O.M.G I was using VPT8 to get klak spout feed out of Unity then discovered Spout SDK test output receiver - and routed spout to a virtual monitor (usbc adapter with hdmi dongle for fooling crypto mining gpus (since i don’t have a 4k monitor)) to record via OBS and now this - the ultimate - straight into OBS = WOAH BABY - so happy 4k60p from unity and i can ditch the usbc adapter + dongle thingy so happy right now ---
