Quick TIP on the MP4 vs MKV: If you're using MP4 to record and something happens where OBS crashes or your PC crashes before you can finish recording, the recording will be UNRECOVERABLE! MKV is the safe bet for recording and then let OBS remux to MP4 after you are finished. MKV writes to the file as you are recording, so if you have a crash, everything recorded up to that point is safe and recoverable. I highly recommend using MKV for recording!
After some playing around in OBS your tutorial works just great! Guess something was messed up on my end, idk what. Great tutorial though! Works wonders.
Definitely not a dumbass. Streaming audio is the hardest part about all of this. It’s complicated and convoluted. Hope you got what you needed from it. Hit me up if you still need help.
@@ChowlbPlays OMG 😮😮 I didn't do anything just put it in adobe premiere and exporting the video and uploaded again the whole track playing .. i never expectd that .. thank you i love you for your quick responding 🤩💙❤
Pls help! Everytime I’m using headphones and I’m recording gameplay and voice audio it records both separately with no problem. But anytime I try to record both separately without wearing headphones I have this horrible echo when it plays my voice.
Headphones on the pc? Check your default mic in windows to make sure it’s not resetting to another mic like your webcam that could be picking up your voice as well. Then check to make sure obs isn’t resetting the mic device when your headphones are unplugged.
@@ChowlbPlays No bro I’m trying to record without headphones. I have a blue yeti mic and a Logitech brio webcam. Pls help me. What settings do I use to avoid the echo? I did exactly what you did. For my desktop audio since I’m not using headphones it’s just set to my pc speakers and for mic/auxiliary it’s set to my mic. But there’s major echo in my voice. What do I set for my desktop audio to avoid the echo? It never used to do this. I was able to record just fine last week. So no idea what happened. Now I have horrible echo in my voice recordings. When I adjust the settings it goes away but then I have no desktop audio. Then when I change it back I get desktop Audio again but then my voice echos. Pls help me
@@darkhaven9119 when you plug in your yeti check your windows settings. It sounds like your webcam mic is picking up your voice too. Also in obs it should have a audio meter for the webcam. Make sure that’s muted or turned all the way down. Any scene with the webcam source should have the webcam mic audio meter as well.
@@ChowlbPlays ok yeah I see an audio bar for the webcam. You’re right the webcam is probably overlapping with my mic causing the echo. How do I mute the webcam? In the Audio settings I don’t have the webcam set to record audio at all. It’s only for recording my face.
2:36 this advanced audio prop is now different, and my audio desktop is recording my mic all the time, that never hapened to me in the past but now i can't fix this shit >_> ... anybody know a fix ?
The advanced audio properties hasn’t changed too much. Pretty much made the checkboxes different. There have a been a few updates, However can you explain what you mean it’s recording you mic all the time?
@ChowlbPlays man........... omg i wanna slap my stupid dumb face so bad, the pop up of the Advanced thing was cut out, and was not showing the boxes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ... so i just had to scroll to the right and i was able to see those boxes again ... man u know what? ... like i said nothing LMAO X'D .. i fixed it after like... 1 week ... so yeah thx a lot for the answer anyway ... (sry english is not my first language) but i swear to god obs never showed me that window like that for years !!!
Hi hi, thanks for your videos. It has happened to me that recording in MKV format in OBS Studio 27.0.1 (64bit) having 4 scenes and switching between them has not recorded the audio in scene 2; And that gave me the result that every time I switched to scene 2, it was recorded without audio while when I switched to the other 3 there was spectacular audio. While recording I made sure that the audio device always existed in the "Sources" window and it was also in the "Audio Mixer" window. It is important to mention that in the advanced audio properties the "Monitoring and output" was always activated and in my headphones I always listened to the audio of all the scenes while recording. I have converted the file from MKV to mp4 and in fact the audio in scene 2 does not appear in adobe premiere and now the question comes ... The MKV format will have some secret and will I have hidden that missing audio in some other track that for some reason it does not appear in adobe premiere? Greetings and thank you very much for your time in reading my concern and, if possible, answer. It is important to mention that I recorded 25 videos and only one came out with that problem.
So one out of 25 had an issue? That seems pretty good odds. Just double check each scene and the advanced audio for each scene to make sure the tracks are set accordingly. Also I don’t import the Mkv into premiere. I always mux to mp4 before importing
couple questions, under your settings/output/Recording do you have all the audio tracks selected? Also are you recording to MKV? That's the best for multi track recording and saving crashed recordings. Also on your advanced audio, do you have all the tracks selected for each source? You'll need to put each source on it's own track, if ALL the boxes are checked in the "matrix" then all the sources are going to ALL the tracks, if that makes sense.
No matter what I do, it only records one track or the other. The game is set to 1 and the mic is set to 2 yet track 1 is the only track that was recorded
Just to clarify your recording settings are set to record all tracks correct? And when you're rewatching the recording and saying it's either track 1 or track 2, what are you watching it on? some applications like windows movie player don't support multiple tracks so you won't hear it on playback. You'll need to use something like VLC media player to hear it all. If it's in your editing software do you see all the tracks? What editing software are you using?
@@ChowlbPlaysI have 2 tracks set under recording, and I use mkv to mp4 flux. I use Filmora x as my video editor but when I drag in the clips, it’s one clip. From here only one audio source shows (and it’s either mic or gameplay)
Not very familiar with Filmora, but found this little snippet. See if it works: Filmora 9 doesn't natively support multiple audio tracks within a video track. To put your audio together, import the file, then right click in the file you imported. Hover over the "Audio Track" option, and select the different tracks individually.
@@hiptobejarrod And you have the audio split out by tracks on the actual audio source? Clicking on the advanced audio on the audio source itself in the mixer? make sure it's only one source per channel?
damm this is like the 5th vid ive seen. i do everything and my editor wont give me multi tracks lol i think im doing something wrong but fuck if i know lol

Nice video its very helpful, keep it up, love ur vids.. 😊
Thanks!! and I love the comments!
ChowlbPlays No problemo
But when i uploaded video only one track playing what the problem ??
Are you editing it at all? You’ll need to run it through some editor and render it to a new mp4 that will include the other tracks.
