How to Record 2 USB Mics at the Same Time on PC / WINDOWS

A quick solution to an annoying problem, I'll show you how to record 2 USB mics at the same time in Windows on your PC.

The microphones I use are 2 ATR-2100 USB mics, which unfortunately are discontinued, lol. Now, we have a couple of similar USB options that I love:

I just got my first USB mic, I was super excited and already considering getting a second one to invite other people to my new podcast, then I saw somewhere that it wasn't possible to have two people in the room with USB mics (I'm on a tight budget so I can't really afford one of those professional mics, for now, actually my first episodes where made on my awful cellphone mic) so I was about to tap out with this... Then I saw you!!
You have no idea how much you made my day, THANK YOU SO MUCH. I have already subscribed for more tips :D

This is the shortest video I've seen on this topic that gets to the point and solves the problem. No superfluous chit chat. Keep it up, Pat.

[ThienTickles]

Yo! I just want to say I really appreciate the short, concise video that gets straight to the point! The instructions were clear and understandable. Great vid!

[ReinisRap]

Thanks, Pat! I was looking for the Windows setup for a while and this turned out to be super helpful for me. At first, I thought there is no proper way to host a podcast with 2 mics if you're not using XLR connections and an audio mixer, however now I'm definitely going for USB mics. Thank you so much! Greetings from Latvia :)

very easy and direct.. thank you.. the video i saw for this was like 17 minutes long and went into a lot of useless technical babble.. this was perfect and direct to the point. Thank you

YOUR PODCAST CHEATSHEET has HELPED me a lot! THANKS A LOT, PAT!

[wildwickedandweirdpodcast]

Great Video! We're going to give this a shot before buying two separate XLR mics which would need a mixer, etc. We use just one microphone for the two of us and it sounds OK, but this would make it much better and the editing process would barely change. Thank you very much Pat.

Thank you. I needed this, I’m starting a podcast and the information you share is a big help. I hope one day I could have you as a guest once I’m up and running.

[musasimelane]

Thanks for the video. If you pan one mic left and one mic right you can have 2 tracks that you then make mono in the edit and you can apply diffrent edits if needed to ech then make mono

Hi there... are you aware of any alternatives to Voicemeeter for Windows? I used your video last year to get this all set up but since the Windows 11 update, this doesn't work well anymore.

[hagemeansbald]

Incredibly useful and to the point. Thanks very much.

[TomPetoTraining]

Can you do this with different mics, e.g one USB mic and one rode wireless go plugged into the other USB slot?

[pixelarranger]

Thanks man. VoiceMeeter is such a great solution for any Windows audio problem.

[nardinyouryard]

Does this work for OBS? Like gaming videos and whatnot?

[IIRPOD]

Very helpful! I've learned a lot from your vids in starting & improving my podcast

[overfortieshealth]

Now, thank you Pat Flynn, again for this video, it was quite informative, as always and it’s nice to know about different softwares that works with different microphones 🎤 🎤....

[marziadelevo]

THANK YOU SO MUCH, PAT! You have no idea how much this helped. Sharing this video everywhere <3

[yechielweller]

Just good quick and super useful video
Thanks man

How do I get my HP Probook to identify 2 identical microphones as separate for recording purposes?

[brownpapi]
