Separate Audio Tracks in OBS (Split Discord, Music, Game Sound)

- This tutorial will show you how to separate audio tracks in OBS Studio. This method will allow you to split audio in OBS, with music, Discord and game sound all being on individual tracks. Separating audio tracks will allow you to record each application on their own track. This makes editing videos easier as you can edit each track separately. Additionally, splitting audio tracks in OBS is also useful for streaming. With each application split inside of OBS you can individually control their volume. Allowing you to customize the sound of your stream and fine-tune it as needed.
With split audio tracks in OBS you can also control what is being herd on your VOD track much easier. This will allow you to choose what applications are saved to your past broadcast on Twitch.
The best use for split OBS tracks is video recording. When editing a video with split audio tracks you can cut and mute individual sounds to ensure only the important sounds are being heard. This is particularly useful for gameplay videos, as someone in Discord may be talking during an intense moment. During the editing process you will then be able to mute the Discord call so the gameplay and microphone are the only audio being heard. Additionally, this allows you to mute any music that may be playing while you game as it will be on its own track.
To seperate Discord, music, game, and microphone sound you will need to use application audio capture source. This source will allow you to capture the audio from a specified application. You will need to go through and add each application that you want to capture as their own source. By splitting the audio like this you can also apply filters to each source individually.
Once all of your audio sources have been set up you will then need to setup your audio tracks in the advanced audio properties. This is where you select what audio capture devices are being heard on each track. Additionally, you will need to select your streaming, VOD and recording tracks in the OBS output settings.

Dude, this is how tutorial videos should be. Short, precise, no fluff. Bravo.
A
for real,it was easy to understand
not just tutorials, all types of media engaging and fun.
@@joemalone6994 no just tutorials, u want series, movies, shows to be 2 mins?
@@BitedownPete I want it to be compact and engaging within a short time
TO ANYONE WHO STREAMS/RECORD DIFFERENT GAMES: What I did was make a new "Application Audio Capture" for each game and set them all to track 5! They won't clash together as long as you don't have multiple open at the same time ^_^
Amazing tut! Straight to the point and very hepful! Thanks!!
Exacly the thing I was confused abt - thank u a lot!
@@Benitaakov np! i’m glad i could help!
THANK YOU!!
Is there an easier way for that? What if I boot a new game up for the first time on stream, or if I don't want 27 game sources cluttering the sources menu.
@@appleando752 it might work with just one! i was playing party animals with my friend the other day, and OBS still picked it up without me making an application for it
Recently I recorded an entire 2 hour playthrough of one of my favorite games of all time with my friends only to figure out that the game was much too loud and our voices were much too quiet. After a lot of sound editing, I only managed to slightly fix the problem. This tutorial completely saves me from ever having to do that again. THANK YOU!
I did a 4 hour livestream with very funny moments only to realize after all that that I only recorded my voice................. obs settings are sooooooooooo annoying sometimes, I had it all set right but apparently something is wrong :/
@@victor6010 Might be that you need to put it into your editing software to hear and see all separated audio tracks!
Same. Only my voice could be heard and the game audio was way too loud. I dropped 45 points and 20 assists but my audio configuration wasn’t correct
Incredibly helpful, concise, and gives advice to allow the user to adjust to their own liking. Amazing video thank you
EDIT: Please read this! Not all video software will play all of the audio tracks at once! I was listening back to my recordings and I could only hear my microphone, but when I put the same clip into a video editing software, all of the audio tracks appeared correctly.
Thanks for the heads up i was running through the same problem haha.
Window 11’s own video software amazingly can only play the first track..
THANK YOU!! I was wondering why I heard everything all at once and then when I read your comment, put the video in DaVinci Resolve and there I could see the separate tracks.
@@JoeCastellon Davinci Resolve is what I used to figure this out too, glad my comment could help you out.
Exactly! I looked into the video I just made and it was black but my mic audio track, and when I edited it in Premiere, all of them were there.
This was EXTREMELY HELPFUL!! I just needed an extra audio track (that will be muted in the final product) to help me sync my show recordings to my reaction and this worked PERFECTLY. Someone mentioned (and this did apply to me) you won’t be able to hear the tracks separately until you put it into your editing software, so don’t panic lol
VLC also lets you playback the video on specific audio tracks
You know its a good tutorial when you come for one issue, and it solves your other issues too👍🏼 good job
I have seen like 10 videos about this and finally I understand how to separate audio tracks. Thanks, comment, like, subscribed.
Honestly I cannot simply comprehend how this works and it really gets to my nerves
THANK YOU SO MUCH this is gonna make recording so much more fun now that I can listen to music while recording
Wow, this is GOLD! I only wanted to record gameplay while listening to music, but OBS would capture the music too. Before this one, I watched another video regarding splitting audio, but it required to install a whole separate program, and farily enough, it didn't seem so complicated, but I wondered if I could pull it off with what I currently have, and this is it. Thank you!
Thank you, glad there still people who don't talk for 20 mins and tell their life stories before getting to the Materia
This could not have been explained any easier, and I still needed to watch this about a dozen times before I actually understood why I was supposed to perform certain actions.
I got there in the end though, many thanks.
I'm so glad i didn't follow the video i saw before this that said to download "VoiceMeter Banana" and do a bunch of unnecessary software download and settings, this tutorial is exactly what i needed, to record only the game audio, without discord. Cheers mate, thanks. 👍
No problem, the other video was probably made before this feature was released.
I may know my way finding the first and true tutorial vids of anything that are just simple and to the point. THANK YOU!!!
One of the best tutorials for audio tracks as they have been the most confusing thing to figure as to why track 2 for muted music but not others, what all 6 mean etc.
This was perfect and was just what I needed. Also love that it was short and right to the point. Thank you.
For some reason it only recorded one audio track but i realized to hear all 3 of them, i just have to load them in my editor. Thank you so much, lad.
Yeah most video players only play track 1, which is kind of annoying.
I used to have both of them playing but after adding the application audio I inly get the mic track but they do work in the editor
Omg lol I just put my recorded file into editing software to check after reading this and I saw all three tracks!!! This makes so much sense genuinely thank you so much for this comment it fixed my problem :)
@@mmmmythical Yeah i was about to kick the chair from underneath me until i saw that OBS plays peekaboo with the audio tracks. Random question but do ye wanna play gmod sometime?
Small and straight forward tutorial. Thank you!
Ok how the bloody hell did you get it to work?
@@soundrogue4472 Hello,
I just followed the tutorial. Once you have seperated the audio inputs you must select them per Window. You can also mute certain tracks through the mixer.
@@PAZAK13 I found out my problem; I just needed to update my obs.
I watched another tutorial before this one but they forgot to mention the audio properties so I stilled had mixed audio no matter what.
Thank you! quick and easy
i've watched so so so many tutorials trying to explain how to do this, none have worked, but this video was absolutely fantastic- so easy to understand and worked like a charm. i've never commented on any of the other tutorials, but this one absolutely deserves it- THANKYOU SO MUCH!
thx you so much i just begin and i wasn't understanding every thing from obs
Hey! I ran into a problem, when I get notification I can't make it so make a sound for the Application Audio capture to react to. How did you manage with notifications and such?
hello there. I just wanna come on here and say that you really saved my life. My world was upside down and i couldnt figure out for the life of me how to record with obs while listening to spotify but it not being audible through the video. with your help, my family was saved and now im able to enjoy life again.
What a fantastic guide. Short, sweet, simple. Thank you very much!
Can't thank you enough for this vid, so tired of 20 minute videos that end up giving me something I didn't ask for
I don't know what I did wrong. All the channels show sound, but I only get mic audio. No game, no Spotify.
It doesn't work with Chrome if that's what you're doing
@@yenice3652 I figured it out. I was testing with recordings but didn't have game and spotify on the right channels. Chrome just goes to desktop, so I'm not too worried about that. Thanks for the reply!
@@deportsuperman oh neat. Do you have a separate capture for each application?
Nice video, I been looking for this for a while. It's precise, to the point, and expeditious.
Well done!
I'm gonna rewatch this everytime I setup my OBS now.
I was using Desktop for 6 years lol
Short, straight to the Point, and easy to Understand. Thank you.
Perfect! This is absolutely the best tutorial ever! I will be using this method of splitting audio tonight!
Tysm this helped me alot!! All the other tutorials was so lengthy and made no sense but this is short and gets straight to the point! New subscriber earned!
Hi, I have OBS Studio version 29.1.3, I do not have this application audio capture option. What do I do?
my obs doesn't have application audio capture. how do I remedy that? I'm pretty sure I have the latest obs. is there any way I can download a plugin for it or something?
I followed exactly what you did💀, but when I try to put mic on track 3 and game audio on track 4. I still hear no game audio. Everything should be working though🙏🏽 help
Amazing tutorial! All the others were super complex and long where as yours was simple and straight to the point! Thankyou!
I used this. Cool and quick guide and clear. Thanks for posting this.
Version 29.0.2 doesn't have the "Application Audio Capture" you have.
How would Xbox voice chat work under? I stream with friends who are on their Xbox and I use the “game bar” on my pc.
This is wonderful but sadly my sounds for alertbox, fyrewire, merch and soundalerts aren't being played on stream, and i have no idea how to add them since they are browsers and i belive the sound comes from obs, but i cant add that. I hope someone can help me here
same
same heeere! It's so annoying cause that's the only reason why I wont be using this feature :(
@@Th3C4ke @Beanluck_ if you double click on the notification source, there should be an option that says "control audio via OBS"
If you check that, it should up in the OBS audio mixer just like the separate tracks in this video do.
Killer tutorial! I had to redub some gameplay for a video, now I can record like this to make that easier in the future!
I’m trying to capture my game audio with the method suggested here, but it doesn’t capture all of the audio that’s in the game, just some of it
DUDE THANK YOU! Both your videos have FINALLY got me completely set up. Subscribed
When i change game in obs.. obs will not record my new game audio? why?
Thank you! this was really helpful in recording zooms and online meetings without ruining the audio!
warning (idk if it happened to anyone but it did to me)turning on twitch vod or selecting the same audio track option as the video will glitch your replay trimming clips and remove the audio.
Thank you so so much! This is the easiest tutorial to follow that I have seen for this kind of thing. I really appreciate your help!
Fantastic tutorial. Everyone should take notes on this guy!
Easiest sub I have ever given. Easy to follow, precise, informative, great video!
The perfect tutorial
Short and works
The only tutorial that under 30 mins, in fact its only 3 lol
Love u bro❤
what about obs alerts if the desktop audio is no longer in use how do you get those sounds through on the twitch vod?
Thank you for the volume mixer tip. I would still be going crazy tbh.
Hello! I hope I can get some help.
I followed each step, but whenever I try to add anything - let's say Spotify - it creates it but doesn't add to the track. I'm still left with just my Desktop Audio and Mic/Aux. I'm currently on version 28.1.2 and nothing seems to work.
Same for me, I explicitly even downloaded 28.0.1 and I dont have the capture application audio option ;d
this was straight to the point and easy to follow with the key words being highlighted too. thanks so much ^^
This one actually worked
Thanks!
Thank you very much this was very clear and understandable, and no people this is not a bot this is a real person.
literally the best tutorial. i wish i saw this MONTHS sooner!!!
I have one problem with this. When I try to record game audio, it doesn't record anything, the bar doesn't go up and no game audio is shown in the recording. I've switched window match priority to all 3 different settings and all of them still don't record game audio. It could be something to do with the game I'm trying to record audio for (Call Of Duty: MWII) but I highly doubt it
i have the same issue. my game audio is registering in OBS but it doesn't appear in the recording and the only thing that it exports is the video file. It's def not the game though, I've gotten it to record game audio before but not separated from my mic audio
Any solution?
THANK YOU SO MUCH 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
THANK YOU! been trying to figure this out on my own has been a nightmare 😅
Amazing Video! So clear and easy to understand. Thank you so much :D
This is an amazing and simple tutorial. Thank you so much for this!!!
mistakenly clicked the video in the annotation. Had to come back and drop a fat ass like!
Bro is a professionals professional
What about if I’m just trying to record the gameplay audio & my mic separately from one another so I can easily edit the recordings in Vegas Pro?
was having a lot of trouble, this fixed my issues in actual seconds. cheers dude, thank you :)
i fr started using obs studio a few minutes ago and this really helped me
good stuff man
Thanks to your guide I was able to mute OBS but the music does not play in the stream
I dont see the application audio capture (beta) option and im up to date with 29.1
After 2 hours of trying with other tutorials finally found yours, thanks a lot!!!!
This was a super fast tutorial
Holy macaroni, short and direct, great vid man. 2morrow will chevk it out because i allways run in to problems eith my audio ❤
Finally one that actually works not like all the other ones
Hi I have desktop audio but no audio in recorded videos (Ive done test ones) or in streams
I have watched more than 15 obs, mic, settings videos in the last 2 days and nothing seems to work
any help would be appreciated
Finally a tutorial that I understand and can actually work with
So much easier than anything else I've tried googling, absolute kingly video!
Thank you, is there any way you can make all games under the same source?
exactly what I'm looking for!
Yeah, I just watched in another video that it used to be an option when configuring the new source. I wonder why it seems like they removed it...
and how to i do for the alerts ? i don't hear them in my stream
With this can a safely stream with music and not have to worry about copyright?
Worked the very first time. Excellent tutorial, thank you!
how do you play alerts sound from widget ?
For OSX 13 it is built in to the macOS Screen Capture, was going nuts looking for Application Audio Capture (this in only on PC)
i tried downloading a bunch of old plus new obs versions, none of them have application audio capture beta, pls help
Dont you have to create a different source for each game you want to capture?
Very good tutorial. Direct to the point
Thanks for the short tutorial!
Absolutely perfect solution to my problem and easy to follow! Thanks so much!
Amazing solid video! No shortcuts with plugins...just learn the tool. thnx man!!
Thanks great video, I had to restart OBS after I had added the new audio sources before they showed as active in the Audio Mixer, this may be useful to someone else.
thank you slurptech this is the slurpiest moment of all time in 2023 caught on footage (real) not fake thank you slurptech now I will slurp the HELL out of this video thank you so much and uh yea
This is perfect for people trying to record lol
Appreciate this so much.
Earned a sub for this.
hey mate i tried doing this and i have lost the twitch notification sounds and the redeemable channel points. are these just on desktop audio or do you know if they can be added as a application audio??
I don’t see that option for Application Audio Capture (BETA)
I’ve tried to find it online to download it get it but I can’t seem to figure it out
Are their any suggestions or solutions to this problem? I have a new Mac laptop for system information
Oh nice, glad we can do this now!!! Needed to do this "yesterday" but oh well
Thanks a lot! I have weird habit, Like to listened music when doing everything. Grinding in games, Do homework, Wash some dish and etc. Include when I stream, Too but I don't want my gameplay audio to mixed with abomination mixed audio in the background so this help me like a lot!
So this didn't work, but I disabled recording of track 6 where music was, and...did a few other things that I've forgotten...
But it seems to work now. Thanks.
great tutorial... How does the gaming audio work as it will always be a different executable file if you are playing different games etc? Do you need to change it before starting stream?
Is there a reason when I do this I only get my mic on the recording? Tracks are showing audio but not getting recorded
0:33 these settings are greyed out for some reason
