i feel like such an idiot.. i just read your comment and was like "...wait.. don't tell me it was actually recording well all those times" i jumped back on vlc and saw that i could change audio tracks Thanks for pointing this out
@@Swoot8 change the audio track in vlc or whatever program you're using. If its only video recording, you might have something wrong in your encoder settings
Okay thank you so much, I was losing my mind trying to figure this out. My editing program wouldn't automatically separate it but because you showed that you can check the tracks in VLC, I tried doing the same in my editing program and it worked that way. So thank you so much for helping me figuring that out lol
Thank you for being both concise and thorough here. You made it very easy to understand what some other tutorials made a bit confusing. I think it would be a good idea to make an updated tutorial of this now because of OBS 28's new "Application Audio Capture" feature. That's why I came here. It's more or less the same setup except we also have the "Twitch VOD Track" option too. I now have my settings as follows: Everything on track 1 for streaming, everything except Spotify on track 2 (Twitch VOD Track), game audio on track 3, mic on track 4, discord on track 5, Spotify on track 6.
Omg this video is legit a life saver I was recording multiple audio tracks but when I played the video back there was only one and I couldn’t figure out why and u explained it. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks man! I watch a ton of tutorials in the background and the rabbit hole of the night led me to this video just as I was actually going to sit down and change my routings between spaces. You made this topic all come together.
i followed this guide exactly multiple times but my second audio track has zero sound in the recording even though the audio mixer detects sound. what am i missing?
I've watched so many videos on how to split audio tracks for recording stuff but every time follow those instructions (including yours!) then put the video file into the timeline of Premiere Pro CS6, I get (1) video track and (1) audio track. I don't know what I'm doing wrong
Nice tutorial! I was getting insane because I split the audio but it wouldn't record/stream all my audio. Now I now that I simply have to check all the boxes for streaming in channel 1!!
Thank you Sir, It's been doing my head in why everything was being recorded on all 4 chanels! Because I had channel 1 activated! 🤦♂ Thank you for explaining it in such layman's terms for us 60's kids 👍
I spent so much time yesterday trying to figure out why I only had 1 audio track in my recording. Thank you so much for this video even though its 2 years old.
For the life of me I couldn't figure out why I could only hear 1 track at a time seemingily at random, when I plugged my videos into VLC player Then I could select which track to hear. honestly Amazing tutorial with amazing voice!
finally someone explained me why it worked while recording but did not in stream... stream use only the first one... Thank u very much sir take this like
The new OBS update this week REALLY messed up my OBS experience. Now I'm getting one of the tracks not picking up any sound whatsoever, and when i bring it into Vegas, theres two tracks, but its the same audio...
@@LeGym_ i ended up uninstalling and reinstalling. I also put the desktop audio and my microphone audio on different tracks and that has seemed to help the sync issue.
i watched a video on how to seperate the audio tracks and that all worked, but they never told me to change my output settings to advanced and thus i recorded like 40+ hours of games footage not even realizing it wasnt recording the 2 other input tracks. the default video viewer on windows doesnt let you change tracks therefore i had no way of testing prior to actually going to edit. sucks but im glad this video quickly cleared up the mistake
Thanks a lot! I couldn't wrap my head around why the file didn't have multiple audio tracks, but it seems like OBS had defaulted to outputting a single track.
What if I want to monitor my mic so I can hear how I sound while recording? When I choose monitor only (mute output) or monitor and output, both gives me the same results, it get mixed with Desktop Audio and I can't edit them separately , so I get 2 audio tracks, Desktop Audio+Mic and Microphone itself. Is there any possibility to separate desktop audio and microphone, while monitoring microphone and to not get mixed with desktop audio?
I would like to know too. It seems I have figured out how to record both my mic and gameplay sound, but when I drop the recorded file in my Pinnacle editing software, still only one audio track is showing up. Even that first happens when I separate audio from the video track. I'm going nuts over this... 😵💫
Make sure that when in the recording tab, all of the audio tracks you want are selected. you can locate this under recording format, and you simply check the boxes you want it to record.
And if this doesn't work, then both audio tracks should show up once you put them into your editing software. if you don't want to edit your clips, just put them in a free editing software like filmora x, and then when you export both audio tracks should be audible. hope this helps :)
Yep. I forgot to switch to advanced and check the boxes to record multiple tracks for audio. SO now I have recordings with 3 tracks of audio into one. Weeew
If you also have the source record plugin it wont allow you to change output mode from simple to advanced to activate the other audio channels cause it counts as something recording so it locks you out of most settings. Just fyi if anyone is stuck.
I don't even have the problem for the video. I just want to know what mic you're using and the processing you're doing on it. It sounds so damn bloody good.
...gotta love it when literally everyone in the comments is saying how it works and then you're just left with your OBS only recording your microphone and not the computer. i'm so sick of this!
I have been recording with this and it has not worked, the only track that is heard is my microphone, and i can't understand why. also, i use filmora as my editing program and it won't let me access the other audio tracks...
@@makaiosr Not really tho. I can't seem to record *just* the game audio on one track and then record *just* Discord audio on an other track.. seperate. They're always picked up as the same output and recorded onto one track. I have yet to figure out how to fix this and any help would be incredibly appreciated.
So basically. -Check your settings if there on multi track recording -use VLC to split the video and audio tracks Thanks, and also thank you for demonstrating this using HitFilm software. I use HitFilm Express, so it's a relief seeing else using a related software ensuring me that this will work. Thanks again, this video was helpful :)
I missed the part where you tell OBS to send the recording to separate files instead of running whatever script you mentioned? I couldn't figure out what you did to get that within the program.
Problem, I have output set to audio 1 + audio 2 audio 1 being Desk sound audio 2 = zoom mic but when splitting tracks in premiere, the desktop audio somehow capturing my mic audio on same desktop track?? How to fix??
You make have figured this out already but for anyone else wondering, my personal solution is that you need to plug the remux video into a program such as Adobe Premiere. There you will be see the separate, different audio tracks. Unfortunately I don't think it works with something like iMovie because all the audio tracks merge together into a single track.
I had no idea that this was possible! I was getting frustrated that while streaming the audio levels looked balanced but upon watching a vod, the game audio would overtake my voice. Which made it hard to make clips for CZcams!
I hope switching from 1 & 2 to 2 & 3 works as I just recorded 3 & a half hrs of vr gameplay with a webcam and my voice never recorded the entire time even though OBS picked up my mic FOOLING me into thinking it WAS recording. No idea why the bleep it didn’t matter before OBS update but apparently it does I’m so ducking mad right now 😡
Obs still refuses to record more than 1 audio track at a time, i will speak and no output audio, ill wait until until desktop audio and then you can hear speaking. i can’t fix it, i’ve watched 3 different videos, im beyond lost,
My editing software does not automatically separate the tracks, so what do i do then? i have selected desktop audio, and microphone as separate tracks, but its still all in 1 audio track
so for some reason why i try to seperate the audio the only audio that will pick up is the when where it has 2 checked off cant find a way to get this to work please help
I'm missing something I think, I have the audio separate in vlc but not in a folder or when its dragged in to my editing soft where . realise its an old video but can anyone help ?
That bass in his voice though. lol
i swear😍😍
Waaaay to high

Makes me super uncomfortable and greasy
It turned out I was doing all of the right things from another tutorial, I just didn’t know how to access the second audio track. You’re a hero!
