Twitch streamers with noisy microphones will be happy to hear that OBS, the most popular live streaming program, has support for audio plugins in the form of VSTs. It’s a little-known feature hidden away behind a bunch of menus but can significantly improve your audio quality.
Virtual Studio Technologies (VSTs) serve as an interface between an audio processing program and any other application that supports them, like OBS. You can get VSTs that act as instruments for music production software, but the ones that matter for OBS users are VSTfx plugins, which act as audio effects.
For those of you that use Streamlabs OBS, you’ll also be able to use VSTs, as it is based on regular OBS.

Installing Plugins
The process for installing plugins can vary depending on which plugins you have. For most of them though, they’ll go in C:/Program Files/VSTPlugins/ , and will be in separate folders organized by plugin or manufacturer name.
A lot of VST plugins do cost money, but here we’ll be setting up the ReaPlugs VST Suite, which is entirely free. It also comes with an installer, so you don’t have to worry about copying them to the right folder. Just click through the installer and let it set things up for you.
