@AlecBinks They both have pros and cons lol 😂

@xerith_darkmind absolutely

@AlecBinks It isn't open source. I'm good.

@SlenderTheSir Meld Studio is not open source

@AlecBinks Dafuq is Meld Studio and what makes it better than OBS? Just curious. I recently changed OBS around on a new PC and it was kind of a nightmare.

@Refl3xes A new streaming/recording software. It's built by creators with ease of use and efficiency in mind. It has effects built in, multi stream, vertical, multi chat, multi track recording and more. Whether it's better or not depends on the user. I'd say give it a try. It has an OBS

@AlecBinks Tried it, it's horrendously bad and tries to enforce things I do not want, does not list all applications as source which alone is a full stop to me for usage. I can't even use a random window I have on screen to display on stream. Misses a lot of core functionality. nope sorry

@totmacherx Good info here. What does it enforce that you don't want? Are some applications just not showing up for you? Are you referring to a window capture for specific things open on your PC?

@AlecBinks Nothing beats OBS when its working.

@fortyscent "when it's working"

@AlecBinks Still need to try it out. I just assume they'll do some bait'n switch and offer paid premium features very soon to monetize. So with that in mind I hesitate to leave good old OBS.

@Farbklex91 In a Q&A stream early this year, Meld's CEO discussed how they intend to monetize with premium features while keeping the majority of features most creators use free. Meld's projected premium features will be for power users. One idea they talked about was layer recording so you

@AlecBinks Tried it, but it wouldn’t connect my twitch! So bit of a turn off for me since I couldn’t stream with it 😅 Also it doesn’t have the ability (or not that I could find) to change the layout to whatever you like which you can do with obs, that’s my thoughts on it atm!

@Notably_Nora Hey solid feedback, thank you for sharing.

@AlecBinks Dabbled with Meld when I was using Windows but since changing my OS to Linux, had to go back to OBS. Meld was superior but it does not play well with my Linux distro.

@JayMBurton Is Linux support possible in the future? @StreamWithMeld

@AlecBinks kinda, yea... But they dont have source record yet.... So i must wait

@SKAvsTheWorld One future feature the CEO talked about out in a Q&A was layer recording. Instead of source recording, you record all layers like normal, but you can move them around in post when editing. They talked about this being a potential paid feature down the line. This feature hasn’t

@AlecBinks Does Meld Studio support "Spout2" or any alternative to minimize the number of screen or game captures? Of course, if it's even a problem in Meld.

@_VtuberHub_ Like this?

@AlecBinks

@ne0lines 🤔

@AlecBinks If I’m able to use custom scene transitions I’ll switch over

@UncommonYokai when* you're able to
