Practical guide

Separate monitoring audio from the broadcast feed

Separate monitoring audio from the broadcast feed: a practical process, a clearly illustrated example and checks to use before the next live session.

A practical process

  1. Identify which output lets the operator listen and which output reaches viewers.
  2. Confirm that monitoring does not create an additional captured copy.
  3. Test the final broadcast recording after changing monitoring settings.

Worked example

Muting headphones should not automatically remove a voice from the broadcast unless the routing was intentionally built that way. Test both states with a short recording. Labels such as monitor or output can mean different things across tools, so rely on the observed result.

Before the next session

Use the current Aseacast product overview to check which parts of this workflow fit your setup.
