Headphone bleed into OBS recording of mix

[MarcusBaram]

Can someone please explain why I'm getting intense headphone/cue bleed in my recordings?
Also using a Macbook with Mac03 13 (Ventura) and VirtualDj as my software and a Traktor Z2 mixer.
No matter what I do, it shows up.
I'm using macOS Audio Capture in OBS and method: Desktop Audio Capture.
And here are the Audio Settings...

Is that wrong?

All of those are Disabled, so they're silent. Scroll down a bit to see the Monitor settings too.

I also noticed you have this in your log:

23:06:37.910: User added source 'Audio Input Capture' (coreaudio_input_capture) to scene 'Scene'
23:06:41.926: Downmix enabled: 8 to 2 channels.

OBS does not play well with multichannel devices. It insists that the entire device must be one source, and that the channel count must denote the surround format. In your case, you have an 8-channel device, and so OBS is downmixing from 7.1 to stereo. It does not simply take the first two and ignore the rest. If your unwanted content is in those higher channels, then this would explain it.

No way to change that in OBS. Somehow, you need to present OBS with a 2-channel device, not 8, that is already finished and ready to stream as-is. I often recommend that people use a DAW for that and use a loopback from there to OBS, or a physical mixing console (different from a DJ console) and use a 2-channel USB connection from that.
