OBS Studio
from Wikipedia:
OBS Studio is a free and open-source app for screencasting and live streaming.
OBS Studio provides real-time capture, scene composition, recording, encoding, and broadcasting. It can stream videos to any RTMP-supporting destination, including YouTube, Twitch, Instagram and Facebook.
OBS Studio captures the video from our camera, receives the audio from our mixer, composes our different scenes for simple control over what the viewer sees, and sends the result to our platform of choice.
Bitfocus Companion
Companion elevates the affordable Elgato Stream Deck and similar devices into professional control surfaces for an extensive range of equipment and applications. From presentation switchers and broadcast equipment to video playback software and home automation systems, Companion delivers studio-grade control, putting powerful workflows right at your fingertips.
You don't need an actual stream deck to use it. Companion both comes with a builtin stream deck emulator, a webpage for touch screens and the ability to trigger buttons via OSC, TCP, UDP, HTTP, WebSocket and ArtNet. It does the same job, just without the buttons.
- Button designer - Either with colored text or upload your own images
- Feedback - Devices can give feedback to buttons to display state
- Stacked actions - Run multiple actions from the same button
- Delayed actions - Set delay time individually for each action
- Multi device - Have multiple stream decks connected at once
- Web admin - Configure the system from any browser in the network
- Web buttons - Virtual web buttons for mobile/tablet/browser
- Latching - Separate actions for key down and up, and ability to latch/toggle
- Streamdeck Plugin - Use companion buttons in the native stream deck application
Reaper
REAPER is a complete digital audio production application for computers, offering a full multitrack audio and MIDI recording, editing, processing, mixing and mastering toolset.
Commonly called a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation), Reaper provides the tools we need to manage multiple different audio channels, each sourced from a different microphone, apply plugins, mix the resulting channels together, and output to OBS Studio via qpwgraph.
OBS Studio doesn't natively provide any real control over its audio settings. It is also rather lacking in its audio monitoring capabilities since it does not even have a master channel. The lack of controls means it would be difficult for less adept users to suitably control the variety of audio channels needed for a proper production.
Enter Reaper.
As a DAW, Reaper doesn't just provide a vast array of customization. It is also a fully featured solution for the modern audio engineer. Some of the requirements for a modern DAW include support for various controls to be offloaded to external hardware called control surfaces. An example of such hardware would be the Behringer X-Touch (pictured below) or the Mackie MCU Pro.
These control surfaces provide physical controls such as faders, knobs, and buttons for adjusting and/or controlling an array of options within any DAW.
In lieu of a control surface such as these, we instead utilize Bitfocus Companion and the Stream Deck to provide us with intuitive control over our livestream audio.

OBS Bible Plugin
Developed by First Fruits Studio (based in Indonesia), this plugin is a complete Bible solution for OBS Studio. It provides a self-contained method of displaying bible verses on stream. To accomplish this, it has two components, a webpage loaded through a browser source to display the verses and a dock to control both a list of references and to select which verse to display at any given moment.
