Danhi everyone,
i have the following setup, but i can’t get the EZD3 sound to arrive at streaming software like OBS…
all you can hear on the live stream is the TD-27 output, not EZD3….aarrrgghhhh.
many thanks.
ShootieIf you’re on 4i4 3rd generation or above. The 4i4 comes with it’s own virtual mixer. The feature is called Loopback. The manual/videos should cover it. When enabled, it will allow a different audio source for OBS to find. Not sure about Win10 capability.

Dougre: “all you can hear on the live stream is the TD-27 output, not EZD3”
On the TD-27, did you set “Local Control” to “OFF” in the MIDI controls?
That would disable the sounds generated by the module, so you should only hear EZD3 sounds triggered by MIDI.

ronpburnsI found the issue is that OBS doesn’t support ASIO by default.
I have a similar setup and got it working perfectly by downloading/installing the OBS ASIO USB plugin: Release obs-asio v3.1.1 · Andersama/obs-asio · GitHub
Install the plugin.
If not done already, download and install the Focusrite Control 2 app. https://focusrite.com/software/focusrite-control-2
In OBS, add scene and name something like “ASIO Plugin”. There is an attachment with some key screen prints.
note: For mine I have two separate inputs to configure as I have a stereo drum pad (Roland SPD-20) plugged into my Focusrite Scarlet 2i2 directly and my Roland TD-30 drum set coming back to the Focusrite Scarlet 2i2 via USB.
Add two sources for “ASIO Plugin” scene = select “ASIO Input Capture”
Configure first for usb – for device choose “Focusrite USB ASIO”, Route.0 = loopback 1, Route.1 = loopback 2 and name something like Focusrite USB
Configure second for Instrument (if you have instruments or microphones plugged in – for device chose “Focusrite USB ASIO”, Route.0 = Input 1, Route.1 = Input 2
In EZD3, you configure the output to go to the Focusrite USB
In OBS for the EZD3 window capture source, be sure to mute the audio track in the audio mixer for that source or sound will come through the window as well as the better “focusrite USB ASIO” driver and the sound will be horrible (duplicated).
In my setup I have my OBS Studio set up to show 4 windows concurrently for recording/streaming – The Drum sounds and Superior Drummer 3 app window, scrolling drum music and drumless song via Drumeo browser window, a live drum video capture window (iphone 16 pro), and a camcorder footcam input. This works great and is the best (lowest latency) config I could figure out so far.
Oh, and be sure to set your focusrite as the default audio in windows.
Danhi all,
still not working for me in OBS… here’s where i’m at…
I can hear audio from youtube in OBS, but nothing still from EZD3 – i must be doing something wrong here.
ronpburnsYour step 8 c & d appears to be the issue. Possible things to look at:
Attached an update to the .pdf I originally sent w/ extra pictures of my Focusrite Control 2 settings and EZD3 settings. I had to configure ezd3 as I typically use any EZD3 drums directly through SD3 as it gives me more configuration – mainly adding more instruments and more control.
Hopeing this works for you.
DanI tried downloading Focusrite Control 2, but it says it’s not compatible with my 4i4 (Gen 3) device.
Scarlett 4i4 setup:
Only USB from PC and headphones – nothing in the 2 mic/instrument inputs
here’s the control screenshot: https://ibb.co/JWvhKBWC
EZD3 settings: https://ibb.co/Q7g93z5C
ronpburnsI did some research on the Gen 3 vs Gen 4 Focusrite Scarlett 4i4. There is some documentation of the Gen 3 having issues with configuration in OBS compared to the Gen 4. I asked chatGTP to detail the steps for your setup. I’m not sure this says anything different than what you already did, but wanted to send in case you wanted to step through it. If it still doesn’t work, maybe try ordering the Gen 4 from Amazon to try. You can always send it back if it doesn’t work. When I was searching for an audio processor I ordered all the most popular brands and tried them all out. The Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 is what had the best/lowest latency. Sorry if this post gets duplicated. I submitted this info earlier, but had to edit it due to it having a bunch of html markup so I edited it – then it dissapeared. Anyway, good luck.
detail the steps for me to configure my Roland TD-27 running through Toontrack EZ Drummer 3 and my Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 Gen 3 to work with OBS Studio via an ASIO plugin for OSB.

To configure your Roland TD-27, Toontrack EZdrummer 3, and Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 Gen 3 to work with OBS Studio using an ASIO plugin, follow these steps:
Step 1: Install Necessary Software
Step 2: Configure EZdrummer 3 for Low Latency
Step 3: Configure OBS Studio with ASIO Plugin
Step 4: Configure Audio Routing in Focusrite Control
Step 5: Test Audio & Latency
Step 6: Add Video Sources in OBS
Step 7: Record or Stream in OBS
This setup ensures low-latency drumming through EZdrummer 3 while capturing audio and video smoothly in OBS Studio using the ASIO plugin. Let me know if you need help troubleshooting any step!
ronpburnsAlso… more detail on the Control app. (Attachment includes the picture not pasted here).

Configuring Focusrite Control for Roland TD-27, EZdrummer 3, and OBS Studio
The Focusrite Control app is essential for routing audio properly so that EZdrummer 3 outputs its sound correctly to OBS Studio via the ASIO plugin.
Step 1: Open Focusrite Control
Step 2: Configure Inputs
Step 3: Configure Outputs
Step 4: Save and Test
Now, I’ll generate a screenshot of what your Focusrite Control settings should look like. Give me a moment.
Matplotlib Chart
Here’s a visual representation of how your Focusrite Control settings should be configured. This setup ensures that EZdrummer 3 audio is routed correctly to OBS Studio via the ASIO plugin. Let me know if you need further clarifications or adjustments!
ShootieIf you have the Legacy Focusrite software working like in your screens hot. Look in the lower left where it says Loopback. Under it you can change it to Custom Mix to trigger the virtual Mixer. It’s helpful if you want to use the inputs & outputs of the 4i4 at the same time. Also, Loopback outputs are not available until you activate them in the Task Bar. This might be what’s setting you back.
Once you get the Loopback outputs and the virtual mixer, you’ll be able to figure it out from there I bet.
If this doesn’t work for you, apologies. No time to read all of the responses. Should be really easy unless you’ve configured your system in a way that’s preventing the loopback driver from appearing.
Best of luck.
