I used to crank it up to 320kbps for my DJ streams and it was needed, but until you start doing creative music/audio based streams (and you can make sure that all your audio material like songs have the needed bitrate), its a waste and additional load for the viewer that he has to squeeze into his connection (and it is sometimes pretty bad). On stream where you have multiple audio sources, it is impossible to tell the difference. That's before we start looking at all the potential unwanted noises inside your house, too. You CAN hear the difference between the 128kbps and 320kbps AAC, but in a clean environment, with a single (well known to you) audio source like your fav. When recording a podcast at home, background noise like passing traffic can be a big problem. Like spotify (non-premium), most online radio stations and all kinds of live content. This is the reason why most streamers go with the pretty expensive and bulky condenser microphone option sooner or later.īitrate: 128kbps is the "standard" bitrate for many things.
But remember, thats only a little bit of help, it cant make gold out of shitty audio quality coming in.
You can route that through Audacity or other plugins/standalone solutions and then corrent the additional latency in OBS, this will give you all kinds of filters and effects to clean up the audio.
