7:15 Thanks, You're the only person, who acknowledges that there is an audio split issue...I Spent 4 Hours trying to "Fix" this problem.

[@CpawsMusic]

haha no sweat! happy I could help (:

Finally...someone who explains the missing audio - normal players wont play both audio at the same time - I have been pulling my hair out with this part for ages....awesome, Cody!

[@BratkuJaZPolski]

true.

[@CpawsMusic]

Thanks homie!

[@PunkBotGamer]

I cant believe this! I have been pulling my hair out trying to understand why one of my audio tracks was missing when viewing the replay. One bit of info in your video explained it "these players can't play multiple tracks at the same time". 🤦‍♂🤦‍♂NOBODY in all the searching I have been doing explained that. Thank you!!!!!! P.S I know everyone is saying the same thing...........I had to say it as well. 😉😉😃😃

Is it possible to split the audio with the capture card/PS5 to get just gameplay audio separate from voice chat? 🤔

Are those things applying for streaming too?

[@CpawsMusic]

Depends how you route it 😄

How can you listen to music while playing a game and split that audio? Both the audio from the game and Spotify go through my headset which is ideal but i want to be able to edit it out later on.

I have davinci and managed to separate the audios. If I may ask how are you clicking on the individual tracks in Davinci. Whenever I try to do that is just selects all the tracks including the video.

[@Cwronaga216]

How do you fix game audio being way too loud in recordings??? I've perfected my mic sound but when I actually record with obs and play back the recording the game is about 10x louder than my mic.....there doesn't seem to be a way to test this in real time

[@CpawsMusic]

I'd just experiment with lowered the game audio mixer bar down in obs and keep an eye on the levels

[@Cwronaga216]

@@CpawsMusic I ended up finding a video on how to set compression and upward compression on your game capture and desktop audio so that the game audio lowers when you speak and that seems to be the best fix so far since my editing software currently can't pick up separated audio tracks without a video converter . I seem to have mostly fixed it but I still don't have a way to reliably split audio unless I want to download another editing software or get that video converter. Since I paid for my editing software I might as well use what I have and adapt

problem the mkv file still play the mike sounds even tho it should only play the game sounds the mp4 does only play the mike

[@CpawsMusic]

Sorry not sure about that :/

[@Cwronaga216]

Turns out my setup CANNOT separate Mic and Desktop audio.... My mic ALWAYS triggers the desktop audio and separating them does not fix this... disabling desktop audio also disable my Mic in recording. Any filters applied the desktop also affect the Mic. Also, with desktop disabled game capture wont pic up game audio....I'm at a loss

[@CpawsMusic]

Turn off monitor and output in the advanced audio settings for your mic if you have it enabled

[@MoreYendriNoCommentary]

Have u done a video on: when you record a video it will have to files but one is raw footage nd second is the same video but with overlays

[@CpawsMusic]

I don't think you can in OBS but I could be wrong :/

[@Cwronaga216]

I can't seem to get this to work.... after I record and drop it into the editing software the Mic audio is still missing. this would be a disaster after a long session...

[@CpawsMusic]

Are you using DaVinci resolve? Also double check your audio tracks 😄

[@Cwronaga216]

@@CpawsMusic I double checked and made sure the audio tracks were set up like you did in the video. Im using Movani editor because well I paid for it. So I might as well use it. It has a much nicer interface and is stupid easy to use. Back when I started my first let's play Wukong on my channel I had searched DaVinci Resolve but unfortunately the download link for DaVinci took me to the mavani instead since they apparently bought the add slot input DaVinci in the link name. I thought it was just a new name for DaVinci Resolve so I went through and got a lifetime membership so now I'm stuck with it

[@CpawsMusic]

@@Cwronaga216 I'd double check to make sure that Movani doesn't need an additional setting or anything to add multiple audio tracks

Hi! I use Wondershare Filmora. When I do as you suggest here, it sounds amazing when listening/watching back on that program. When I upload to KZbin however, aside from my introduction, there's simply no sound on the game portion I am playing (which I have set to Desktop Audio). Do you know why this might be? Thanks in advance!

Hey, I am an upcoming streamer and currently in college and I am trying to set up my set up correctly. I watched your other video that explained how to be able to play copy right music without getting it saved to your livestreams. I did the audio mixer on obs and is now wondering how would I connect my wave xlr / wave link software to obs and how would it look with my audio mixer already being set up. I am trying to have the process be as smooth as possible and have everything connected to one another. I really need help and have been looking for a video that could help.

Unfortunately I don't use the wave link software so I can't say :/

[@CDawgLVGaming]

Thank you!!!!!!

[@CpawsMusic]

You're welcome!

[@ConfuseddFoxx]

So I did this and now I have an echo, I'm guessing from my gameplay being too loud and my mic picking up on it. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

[@CpawsMusic]

I'd recommend wearing headphones if you think that's the cause

[@Macgamingyt2]

​@@CpawsMusichow would u add just discord to this setup and for the headset im wearing i don't need that to be set to anything through obs or desktop to hear it correct thanks

Good stuff man. Do you know if there's a way to do this on a dual PC setup? My goxlr is in my gaming PC and it's all routed as 1 single audio channel to my stream PC (where OBS is).

[@CpawsMusic]

Sorry not sure about dual pc setups

[@sjjsjjsshhhss4927]

heyo, i made what you said, but now my videos: they seem grainy and drop in FPS, I don't know what the problem is, if it is the "NVidia NVENC H.264" video encoder or because my audio is now 320 Bit, or because it is now MP4 and no longer MKV, or if it was simply a "Occasional Glitch" and it won't happen again. If you have a solution to the problem I would be delighted to hear it (The video are not in this channel, i let this channel to my little brother to make his videos)

[@CpawsMusic]

Not sure about that :/

[@lokennz]

Just a little note on this. Most media players can only play one audio track, so if you are just testing in say VLC you may think the recording hasn't picked up your mic! However if you drop it in to Resolve and check you should have two audio tracks and see that it has indeed recorded both successfully.

[@CpawsMusic]

Correct 😄

[@SadisticUmbreonyt8464]

So my issue is that my laptop mic and my headset mic are both being picked up at the same time, which is causing my voice to sound very robotic and echo so badly

Great Video! Question is there a way to record your game play audio and mic audio separately while streaming? Because at least to my knowledge (Which isn't much because I'm new to Streaming and OBS lol) you have to have audio track 1 selected for both to be able to stream

[@CpawsMusic]

That's what we do in the video :D The stream track is everything on track 1 and then your recording tracks are 2 and 3 :D

[@SirStauby]

@@CpawsMusic oh when I tried it it didn't work lmfao ill have to give it another go! I'm assuming I just made some issue along the way but theoretically if followed correctly it should record my audio and game play separately even while I'm streaming so when I'm done it'll be separate in premiere pro?

[@SirStauby]

@@CpawsMusic Upon trying it again I was able to get it working! You are the only channel I have seen that actually went in depth and showed how to actually do it!

[@aaronchambers1703]

As always, thanks for making these videos. I would really love to see a video on how to set up OBS for multiple mics. What I mean by that is, if I am playing a video game and I am using Steam Chat and I have two other people in game with me I want to record myself and the two friends so when re watching the video or when I go to edit, I can hear all three mics instead of just hearing myself on play back. Do you know how to set up Steam Chat while using OBS studio? I have tried to look it up, KZbin it, Google it, so forth and so on but when I try to find what I am actually looking for, I don't get the results. For example, lets say You, me, and Shadow went in and played Once Human or any game, and we all had Steam Chat how can I get all persons to be recorded on separate tracks for editing? Sorry for repeating it, but I want to make sure I am asking and explaining my question to you correctly. But if you could make tutorial for something like that I would very much appreciate it. If you already have a video on it please just link it. I have been watching for quite some time now and have scrolled through your videos but not sure if you have one like this. Well anyway, thanks Cody, be well and keep up the good work.

[@CpawsMusic]

Honestly not sure if you could do that just from your end. You might have to have them record their audio separately and send you the file. There might be a solution out there but I haven't come across it :/
