Separate Audio Tracks in OBS (Split Discord, Music, Game Sound)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 окт 2024
- 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.

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
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?
@@StarWarssMania I want it to be compact and engaging within a short time
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
can anyone tell me if there's a way to save it? recorded a 2 hour video with my friends only to find you cant hear them at all.
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
I have seen like 10 videos about this and finally I understand how to separate audio tracks. Thanks, comment, like, subscribed.
You know its a good tutorial when you come for one issue, and it solves your other issues too👍🏼 good job
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 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.
Thank you, glad there still people who don't talk for 20 mins and tell their life stories before getting to the Materia
Honestly I cannot simply comprehend how this works and it really gets to my nerves
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!
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?
This was perfect and was just what I needed. Also love that it was short and right to the point. Thank you.
As all of the other comments say, awesome job for condensing the tutorial down. i appreciate nothing more then a tutorial for the exact thing im looking for thats less than 3 minutes.
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.
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?
THANK YOU SO MUCH this is gonna make recording so much more fun now that I can listen to music while recording
Short, straight to the Point, and easy to Understand. Thank you.
this was really helpful with separating music tracks, thank you. For the game audio, is there a way to set it up so it will pick up ANY game that is played? I'm not sure how exactly you set that one up. I cannot choose any game from the dropdown menu. Is that something you manually change every game once you have them running?
got the same problem
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.
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!
Nice video, I been looking for this for a while. It's precise, to the point, and expeditious.
Well done!
Amazing tutorial! All the others were super complex and long where as yours was simple and straight to the point! Thankyou!
Easiest sub I have ever given. Easy to follow, precise, informative, great video!
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!
DUDE THANK YOU! Both your videos have FINALLY got me completely set up. Subscribed
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'm gonna rewatch this everytime I setup my OBS now.
I was using Desktop for 6 years lol
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!
Perfect! This is absolutely the best tutorial ever! I will be using this method of splitting audio tonight!
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?
literally the best tutorial. i wish i saw this MONTHS sooner!!!
Killer tutorial! I had to redub some gameplay for a video, now I can record like this to make that easier in the future!
The only tutorial that under 30 mins, in fact its only 3 lol
Love u bro❤
this was straight to the point and easy to follow with the key words being highlighted too. thanks so much ^^
I used this. Cool and quick guide and clear. Thanks for posting this.
Fantastic tutorial. Everyone should take notes on this guy!
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?
i fr started using obs studio a few minutes ago and this really helped me
good stuff man
Thank you! this was really helpful in recording zooms and online meetings without ruining the audio!
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...
This one actually worked
Thanks!
Thank you so much for this! So quick and exactly what's needed.
If I can ask one thing, you said make sure to not put two conflicting audio inputs on the same track. How do I know what conflicts?
Just mean don’t put two inputs on the same track if you don’t want to control them both at the same time. So like if you might want to mute music don’t put it on the same track as Discord or you’ll have to mute both.
@@slurptech got it, thank you so much!
thank you so much i have been searching for an hour straigh and this heklped so much
I loved this tutorial! My only question is: how do you get OBS to recognize the game sound as a game sound, regardless of what game is being played? As it is for me right now, I have an application open, let's say Helldivers 2, and set the "Game" audio tab to that. Then I switch games to Overwatch and start a new recording, but the audio properties are still set to "Helldivers 2", and don't switch automatically to record Overwatch's audio. I have to go into the properties each time I switch games to record and set it to the current game. If I forget to do so, there is no game audio for however long until I notice in my recording. Do you have a solution or video on setting up gaming audio tracks? Just so I don't have 50 audio tracks listed for every game I record. Thanks in advance!
was having a lot of trouble, this fixed my issues in actual seconds. cheers dude, thank you :)
What settings did you use for the game channel?
Do you need to open the game and set it manually on OBS or anything specific?
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
Amazing Video! So clear and easy to understand. Thank you so much :D
After 2 hours of trying with other tutorials finally found yours, thanks a lot!!!!
Holy macaroni, short and direct, great vid man. 2morrow will chevk it out because i allways run in to problems eith my audio ❤
For the "Game" source, how did you set the Window Match Priority? Would I have to change it each time I record a different game? Thank you so much for this tutorial!
Hi, I have OBS Studio version 29.1.3, I do not have this application audio capture option. What do I do?
This is great but where do the audio tracks go? Do I conver to mp4 from MKV, put it in adobe premier and the tracks are there?
Finally one that actually works not like all the other ones
Hi thankyou,,,,
But can we separate voice chat from game sound...
This is an amazing and simple tutorial. Thank you so much for this!!!
Finally a tutorial that I understand and can actually work with
Thank you for the volume mixer tip. I would still be going crazy tbh.
THANK YOU! been trying to figure this out on my own has been a nightmare 😅
Amazing solid video! No shortcuts with plugins...just learn the tool. thnx man!!
I'm really confused, so track 1 for streaming, track 2 for twitch vods, track 3 for recording. so I can check for example Game, Mic, Music all on 3 only and ignore tracks after 3... why I check stuff separately from 4,5,6? didn't you say 3 is for recording?
also I don't understand when you say "Be sure not to put two conflicting audio output on the same track" can you explain me with example? sorry my English not good. and I do appreciate your tutorial man!
It is amazing, thank you! Just how do i make sure my sound alerts and external sound alerts for channel points can be heard? Maybe I missed something but I cannot figure it out...
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.
Worked the very first time. Excellent tutorial, thank you!
Mind doing your AT2020USB+ Mic filters video? It sounds quite crisp
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.
Very good tutorial. Direct to the point
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)
thanks man was looking for this for weeks.
do you got a how to make a shure sm7b sound more studioy?
Help me with a problem here, please: I did audio Split in obs but suddently it stoped recording all tracks except one. Means it only record a track. VOD is working, although
same with me any solutions ??
THANK YOU SO MUCH 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Version 29.0.2 doesn't have the "Application Audio Capture" you have.
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.
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?
So much easier than anything else I've tried googling, absolute kingly video!
This was a super fast tutorial
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??
Thank you very much this was very clear and understandable, and no people this is not a bot this is a real person.
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?
which track would it be to disable music for downloaded vods but i want to keep music on my twitch vod? ty very helpful video
thx you so much i just begin and i wasn't understanding every thing from obs
The perfect tutorial
Short and works
Thanks homie, this was helpful. Have algorithm juice.
This is perfect for people trying to record lol
Appreciate this so much.
Earned a sub for this.
I love this man now ❤
Nice tutorial, very simple thanks.
I assumed "find window of same type" would make it automatically record any game running in full screen - doesn't seem to be the case. Do you have to manually change the target application every time you switch to a different game?
I'm thinking the same
Did you find a way ? i was thinking the same thing
@@vaarax8993 nope, I've just been switching the audio source every time I'm playing a different game.
Sucks when I forget to switch and end up with a clip with no audio.
@@JaymayTV I kinda found a solution and its to your in different scene, you just put an audio splitter in each of them, when you want to change game you juste change scene. idk if this can help you
I don't know if this helps but when I set it up I went through all the games I knew I would possibly play at the time being and set them all up so I didn't have to swap settings after each game
Thanks for the short tutorial!
this is perfect but will this work if i have a headset?
Absolutely perfect solution to my problem and easy to follow! Thanks so much!
This is going to detect the game i'm playing or i need to set up on the obs?
Dont you have to create a different source for each game you want to capture?
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?
With this can a safely stream with music and not have to worry about copyright?
