ONLY HEARING ONE TRACK? You have to take it into an advanced editing application to see all the tracks. If you are just playing the recording with a media player you can only listen to one track at a time, it's like how movies have different audio tracks for different languages. Edit it in your editing app the way you desire and then when you render the video all the sound will be on track 1 again for you to hear and upload or use the way you want.
Hi! Thank you for the video! I did every step that you showed, but my video editor (Microsoft ClipChamp) just sees 1 track no matter what (in my case it is desktop audio). Although my mic is working, I can see it in OBS that it is being registered when i speak. Could you advise me, how I can fix that, if you don't mind? Thank you!
Oh, nevermind, I've just found a community post that clarifies that "multi-track video or audio has not yet been launched on ClipChamp" :( I might need another software, so I'm gonna look into other free options. Thank you anyway!
This video better explained it than some 200,000 views videos were explaining it. One of the keys of it being being better for me is how you actually showed it working by putting it into an editor
This was the clearest video ever. Thanks for explaining! Lots of other OBS setup videos just skim over how the tracks work. I like that your showed the video file and how the tracks are separated when the settings are right. Thanks so much!
Thanks for this. I want to edit out any coughing or other accidental noises that happen while I'm recording and having the tracks seperate will make that easy without interrupting the gameplay.
Man you are a legend. Couple of days ago recorded a horror game halfway through, only to find out the audio was not great and game volume is too loud. This will be hugely helpful when recording next time. Thanks.
Guys please keep in mind that windows media player doesn't play 2 different audio lines at the same time. However if you load it into your editing software you have the seperate lines, but mediaplayer does only play one audio line mic or desktop. So therefore a solution will be to add 3 lines, one combined one that can be deleted afterwards and is just to replay with mediaplayer. and two seperate ones!
Thank you so much for making this video, you have no idea how many videos I've thrown away or taken down because of this issue. So surprised that more people haven't seen this.
bro ur an absolute legend I have been looking around for so long and looking at tutorials but none of them solved the problem thanks man finally now my recordings won't be a complete mess
omg how did i not think of this for the longest time, so many videos could have been saved if i had just looked this up sooner, thanks for making this video! my future videos will have perfect audio!!
This is perfect because aside from you have absolute control of the volumes in the video editing.. we can also process our voices in audacity to make it sound better
Thanks you! There are tons of other videos that over-complicate it and you were the only one that actually explained what I wanted! Lifesaver! Also, for anyone wondering, it works in Davinci Resolve.
OH MY GOD! I have spent many hours watching videos on how to make this work. This is the best video explaining this and its 3 years old, crazy new videos just don't explain it as well. THANK YOU!
thank you ive been trying to figure this out for forever. recording on 1 track has been killing me so i either stayed muted, i cant be heard, or the game cant be heard. now this will save my life
thank you so much for finally being the one to be able to explain this from the hundreds of videos i got on them telling me the same thing over again about how to make different audio tracks only for obs
Say you're in a gaming session with friends, and you're using discord to voice call, how would you record your audio and your friends' audio in separate tracks? Would your friends' voices just be part of the desktop track, or can you separate the friend commentary from the desktop audio?
Okay so the problem I’m having When I record just the desktop audio/ vice versa it only picks up either or. When I try to record both at the same time only 1 pics up the sound. If that makes sense I’m not sure how to fix it. My mic is 1 and desktop 2
Did you do this 0:50 Also does your video editing programs show all the audio channels like premiere pro does? If not then it might only use the first audio channel only
Also if you try play the recording on the computer it will only make sound for the first audio and not all of them. You have to edit and save the video first to merge the audio tracks.
I've been trying this for hours watching every tutorial on this but OBS just WON'T record my computer audio when I do this! I try moving the recording to an editing software and it only has my recorded audio of my voice, none of the computer audio!! I go into the actual recording and listen to it and it's the EXACT same thing, it only records my voice!!! I don't *GET* what's going wrong! Please if ANYONE has ANYTHING for me to try then tell me. I'd greatly appreciate it.
@@Gratey I was actually able to find a solution on my end, not sure how helpful it'll be for you (note: I use Final Cut but it might still be applicable). Basically, I needed to open the inspector screen so and had to manually select the other audio tracks. They were there but wouldn't appear automatically when I dragged them into the editor. Once I selected both audio tracks from the inspector, I could now drag them all and I had access to every single audio track that OBS recorded. Hope I could help :)
I am getting ready to record an online video interview in 5 days from this post and this was just what I needed to separate the dialogue for post production. Cheers for the shortcut mate.
This is a great video. I am a long time video creator but newly returned to OBS Studio after many years absence, and this is exactly what I needed. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much! Finally a video that makes more sense. If u're using powerdirector right click the video on the timeline and select audio languages to see the other tracks :)
Thank You, I am just starting to make Anime Content so when I couldn't separate the audio of the screen recording and me. I was super annoyed and it took me like an hour to find your video and actually fix the problem!!!
YO thank you man, i getting back into streaming and recording and I remember that I was able to separate the audio but now I had forgot. this was a quick tutorial and able to separate the audio tracks.
Ok cool. That's nice. How the **** do I find the audio tracks? After I'm done recording. I see video but no sound of any kind. Where are the audio tracks stored?
Thank you so much, I've been over thinking and panicking trying to figure out if I needed to use audacity as well to say: mute myself in certain sections of the video while keeping gameplay audio. I'm glad I can just do it through OBS.
@@ConCon Can I ask for advice, ive been at trying to learn to record gameplay/audio and learning how to edit it all. Are there any videos that you've made that would help me. Sorry if im bothering you, I just want to be good enough for myself and anyone watching my videos.
@@HazFrostYT That would be an issue with your recording software having a small audio delay after it already starts recording footage. It's not uncommon and should still by synced to the correct parts of the visuals. About 1 in 10 of my recordings do the same but I never start talking in the first 3 seconds on pressing record.
@@ConCon I was so worried I messed something up because the default windows media player I use only plays the first track so I was a bit confused at to why only 1 sound was working xd
im using after effects is there a way i can get a gameplay clip and a audio clip seperate with that or will i have to switch to a different editing software
Good to know about this audio track thing. I did a recording of a game that I'm now editing to put here on RUclips and I'm having trouble hearing some of the things I said (this was before knowing about the separate audio track). And now that I know about the audio track thing, I'll be able to edit better! But for now, I'll have to suffer my first video editing.... Anyway, Thanks ConCon for the info!!!
You're a life saver bruv! I'm always having issues with the desktop audio being too loud to wear you can't hear my mic. Now at least I can fix it later in editing
I only use the Noise Gate filter, I have mine set to Close threshold -47.00 and Open threshold -45.00. Then 25ms, 200ms, 150ms below. Depending on how loud your background is, you lower or raise the threshold. You can see your mic levels in the audio preview as you talk it goes green, use numbers there to guide you on softly you can speak but still be recorded (for me was -45.00. You should also see a constant noise indicated, I used the -47 to cut that off. So anything softer than those values does not get recorded when I speak. I do way more of way voice editing in premiere pro because it has the right tools and controls, OBS is very basic with what it can do for audio
@@ConCon Thank you! I would use premiere pro but I get an error because my my computer driver is new so I am just using capcut till premiere pro starts working.
I'm having an issue where the desktop and mic audio are on the same track, like they're on track two, so when I check the box for track one, and not for 2, the desktop audio isn't recorded.
Thank you so much for this explanation, I've been trying to figure out how to do this for a while and finally came across this. You helped, A LOT!! Thank you, so damn much again man. I needed this!
@@ConCon you and 2 other tutorials (for audacity and a seperate download to make audacity work) really have saved my butt. if only my better mic could stop picking up my keyboard tho lol
@@ConCon beother your trick was working, but now if i select my desktop audio in trank one and mic audio in track 2. The only track one is working, the other tracks are not working, and i allowed multiple tracks from putputt setting but stils, i got this issue plz help, plz
You're awesome! I've got a podcast to record, and I want to make sure that my audio and the other person's are separate so I can do independent volume control. Thanks so much!
