This is one of the best tutorials I've seen. I love that you didn't just cut to the final scenes to demo the tool and you walked through the setup to get to that point!

[@t.b.g3391]

Hey bro I’m just so excited I found your channel because it’s so informal for me I just start streaming on Facebook and every time I need help it never fails you got the answer and it’s always kind of short quick straight to the point and there’s never a bunch of fluff

[@JaeXIII]

Lovely walkthrough, appreciate this🙌🏾

[@cy8erdem0ngaming71]

Bro u just made my day this is the best guide i saw a few out there they are not useful like they dont work your method worked easily

I’m going to try this RIIIGHT NOWWWW!!!! I’ve been struggling so hard 😅 TY so much!!!!!

[@Donut4Life]

Omg, has this is the one tutorial that i need, now i don't need to use desktop audio anymore, thx for helping me out since 1/2 years ago :))

[@MidnightMan]

That’s what I’m here for 😀 happy to help out!

[@antheman5156]

Forreal dude this helped me to. Thank gosh. I was pissed I couldn’t where headphones while Streaming unless I didn’t want people to hear the game sound

[@shrimpinpat]

My friends are often on xbox. We use the xbox game bar party chat. I dont see it as an option for source. It is the only thing holding me back with this solution. If anyone has ideas send help!

[@MisterDimos]

Hello there!! Thank you for your channel. I've watched many of your videos to help me with this process of setting up a streaming channel on twitch. I'm trying to configure the elgato pedal to mute my headset mic that I have going to game chat. Currently, I have the SteelSeries NOVA pro with the mix amp, elgato capture card with the chat link cable coming from the back of the mix amp to the PC for OBS. There is a button on the side of the headset I can use to mute that mic, which goes to game chat, while I use the external mic for streaming chat. I want to be able to push the pedal button OR use the button on the Elite Series II controller I have. I'm not sure how to configure the cables to get that to work properly with the above setup. I think the button on the controller would be the best bet, but either that or the pedal would be better than having to take my hand off my controller and reach up to my headset using the small annoying button. lol I'm doing my best to figure this out lol but I'm kind lost on how to get this piece working. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again and have a great day!

[@Slimeakku]

This is a very nice tutorial, however is there one for this dedicated to video recording? I have the problem of my editing program not capturing multiple audio tracks despite separating them in OBS. It captures my game audio and mic fine but something like discord VC for my friends' voices it doesn't create a separate track for so the videos just dont have their audio at all.

[@BodyEliteSystems]

Great video! Curious...I just realized that all these videos I'm watching don't look like what my plugin and doubled checked my download and I have win-capture-audio v2.2.2-beta. Only found one video so far with the upgrade version and not a good video. Do you have a video for this version or and any suggestions for improving my search efforts for this version? Thanks in advance, Jeremy.

[@helltioeverygames]

You need to do a transform and set the same resolutions for pictures,i normally add a small picture of the gameplay that im playing on the top left of my screen,but everytime i add a new one i need to rezize every single pixel to fit the same spot that is the other picture and sometimes is very bad to do it since it takes time to make.So,we need to do a picture reizize and the same numbers for other pictures to make it easy,i hope you understand what im trying to say.

[@ii3ejoe]

thanks for the video, I was looking for a way to separate audio sources that didn't try to take over everything like Sonar. You might want to do a video update as the version has changed and the screen for adding audio output is a decent amount different. Different enough that it took me a few attempts to see what I was doing wrong. Also if you do the update video maybe mention how the different channels work when recording or streaming. I know the concept but I have had mixed results using them.

[@CraytonTv]

Great video tips bro keep up the great work especially for ppl using a windows computer , so that’s awesome great explanation very helpful tutorials happy holidays God Bless

[@MidnightMan]

Thanks bro same to you! Hopefully a Mac version of this comes soon. Happy holidays!

[@CraytonTv]

@@MidnightMan yeah hopefully but if not they can use that other one you mentioned loopdeck I’m definitely buying that in the New Years

[@ArbiterKaidonThelVadam]

Can I do this without remote play on the xbox? I want to be able to record my xbox party with its own separate audio from the game audio.

[@cjlaws2341]

What about trying to get comms from in game to be recorded? I cant seem to get it to work

[@wgkare]

[@KosioSaseda]

Thank u so much

[@helltioeverygames]

Voicemeter is important for us because if we play pc we need to split the audio one for me and one for my uncle,otherwise he wouldn`t be able to hear anything at all,sure you can use el gato sound capture but if you don't have it you're so dead.I did skype split to do spanish comments gameplay and one without it only gameplay.Happy new year from Argentina just in case mate.

[@Aceguns1980]

2 questions. i cant get obs to pick up my discord voice chat and also i there a way to ad the party chat from xbox game bar to obs?

[@SpookyVenomZ]

Nice tutorial I install the win capture re open obs and the option for application audio doesn't show 10/10 tutorial

[@chitownboy_]

i set this up and all my audio is split but i cannot get sound alerts to work after my audio got split im not sure what to do

[@annakondev887]

I downloaded the audio split from the website you provided below the description information and everything went fine until I got audio capture device in beta version and I do not know what to do now?

[@Tmac_1]

anyone find out how to separate audio with the xbox game bar? the problem is the game bar is a background app so it doesnt pop up as a window.

[@12894gaby]

After i do everything like this video and record, the on the video recorded i can’t hear my skype person on the video.

[@ivvaan.]

hey man so I just got the elgato chat link cable but id does not record the ps4 audio and gamechat on my ps4, do you think you can help me?

[@helltioeverygames]

Doesn't work for me,it doesn't get any sound on skype,youtube or anything,i also disabled the voicemeter capture and playback,still nothing after reset my pc aswell.

[@jch00lig4n]

I added the plugin, but do not get any of those drop down options.

[@navttv]

Hey thanks for the video it worked flawlessly however I was wondering if there's a way that I can have those audio sliders control what I'm hearing as well. Like if i want to lower gameplay volume for my viewers so they can hear the music I'm playing, I want my gameplay audio to also be lowered as I slide it. This method just lowers whatever the viewers are hearing. If you have a vid already for this please link me to it! Thank you.

[@axelrivas2914]

I have a question why every time I record my gameplay in obs I can’t here my teammates? Just in case I’m using astros A50 the wave link 3 and a gaming laptop with the PS5 and el gato HD60+

[@BhaskarPothana]

I'm using macbook m1pro, and I'm streaming with obs, streaming through android device, I'm using discord to talk with my teammates, but my teammates voice is not captured to obs, is there any sollution bro?

[@JewelFornillas]

Since this is on beta, you cant re configure it. You just need to remove it and add new one for the other audio capture

[@Archervade]

Please do a tutorial for iPad with Mac. Streaming with Elgato ( how to fix the game sound) because I can’t hear the game, but the viewers can.

[@itscal4503]

hey I’ve been watching all your audio tutorials that have to do with the ps5 and astro hdmi adapter, would this same concept apply to the series x or would it be completely different? thank you!

[@loganhawkins9520]

This didn’t work when I tried the series X

[@takumixxx916]

Will the Alert sound on Twitch still can be heard from the twitch itself???

Thank you so much bro!

How do I seperate mic audio from Elgato console audio?

[@flexooflexoo]

is there a way to do this with splitting xbox party chat & gameplay audio if I have it running through the el gato chat link cable with OBS ? Or everything has to route through the PC ?

I'm struggling. i set up all audios. discord, chrome, music, and i did one game audio, which i thought might work for all games, but it did not. I'm only streaming pc, idk if thats relevant. Do i need to set up all game audios separately?

how do I do the xbox game chat. I do not want to stream the chat or my mic, only the game sound

[@CasiasPlays]

How do i start with a completely blank scene? I start one and desktop audio + microphone are already there and I can't delete them

[@purgeblue]

You know how some youtubers who have multiple people with facecams on like Eboys (Memeulous, WillIE, etc) or The Boys (narrator, juicy, mully, josh and eddie) are they all recording seperatly or is one person recording the vc when all their cams are on?

[@iamosborn9540]

Hey, question… do you HAVE to have a separate mic to your headset one to capture your voice in OBS? Why can’t you just use your headset mic? Or do you have to buy another mic and plug it into your computer to capture your voice?

[@clamslam4lyfe384]

He had another tutorial saying you'd have to get an external mic to capture your voice. It wasn't always this way, as years ago I just used my headset mic and the stream could hear me AND my party in game, on my stream. Now? It's nearly impossible to get all of it captured on the stream.

[@iam1nfamous]

I'm having the same issue. I'm thinking I need to get an aux splitter

[@Jett_]

What beat is that in the intro

[@AVissie]

if I were to use this plugin, and I set the audio capture to discord for instance and I have my mic as an source to capture my voice, will the audio capture for discord from this, just capture the audio from the other people in the voice chat, or my voice as well? Meaning will there then be double audio of my voice?

[@MidnightMan]

No double audio, as you’ll only be capturing the audio output from program not input

[@trevor2879]

Every time i try to seperate my game and mic audio i only get one after recording

[@QU33NISH]

To capture gameplay I noticed you used the remote play… do we have to use that or can I just get that sound from elgato?

[@MidnightMan]

You can use the regular elgato sound that feeds into OBS as it’s own separate source

[@MDRGAMER]

Hey man, i have a 2012 icore 7 macbookpro and i dont know the best obs settings, i followed some of you vids but it still dont help, could you review this plz

[@MidnightMan]

You have to go into your elgato settings within the elgato app it self and switch it over to analog.

[@TaesWorld86]

@@MidnightMan thank you!

[@TonyChilds__]

Is there a way of separating party chat from gameplay audio while using PS REMOTE PLAY? My party chat is coming through my stream, and I don’t want that.

[@MidnightMan]

Since the remote play audio is one singular source that won’t be possible. I would recommend using something like discord if you want the chat and game audio separated

[@imdevzii]

I’m still confused, how do I capture game chat and my voice without using a Xbox headset and my commentary mic at the same time and duplicating my voice?

[@RealJev]

Do you know of any way to separate Xbox party chat from game volume? I’m recording using an Elgato HD60s+ and my voice and my friends voices can be kinda drowned out by the game volume. Only solution I’ve found is to just turn down the game volume in the settings which isn’t really a fix because then I struggle to hear footsteps, gunshots, etc.

[@MidnightMan]

It's not possible, because it comes in as one audio source. On the Xbox, the most you can do is turn down game chat audio in your actual game settings.

[@RealJev]

@@MidnightMan I appreciate the response! I’ve seen your video how to separate audio using ps5 remote play and discord on the PC. Is there a way to do something similar on Xbox? While still being able to hear game audio and my friends voices through my headset?

What about the other audio? Like the game audio, does that come through from the Xbox app? Make sure you’re also selecting the right Xbox app as there can sometimes be more than one option for the same exe.

[@Kalvin_Nailen]

@@MidnightMan No I'm not using the xbox app to record my gameplay, I just use my elgato to capture my gameplay. I'm only wanting to use this to capture my xbox party chat.

[@shiond123]

I don't understand what the point of this is? If I add audio sources individually I still will have problems because I need to be recording my headset audio so my alerts make a sound, meaning that if I add my headphones as an audio source on my stream, everything else will be heard by my viewers, regardless if I added the source "Chrome" or not, they still gonna listen to that youtube video, and I need to have an audio source on stream, otherwise how are my viewers going to hear the alerts?
