Thank you so much for 9 YOUTUBE MEMBERS! You guys are amazing ❤

If you make YouTube videos, Tiktoks and more this will be really handy for you.

Tonight we're learning how to Record sources in OBS separately, that way you can make it so your Webcam and your Gameplay are recorded into separate video files, making it more convenient for you to edit in your Editing Software!

This was a request from my friend Sparklix so I hope I was able to help!

Hope you enjoy the video!

FOLLOW THESE STEPS TO SEPERATE AUDIO

1) If you followed this guy's tutorial, on the main OBS page, Right click "Webcam" go to "Filters" go to "Webcam Record" scroll down to "Different Audio" and change "Audio Track" to '1' & change "Source" to whatever mic you want. I did "Mic/Aux"

2) Next, do the same actions from step 1 but with "Gameplay" / Main OBS Page ---> Right click "Gameplay" ---> Right click "Filters" ---> Tap "Gameplay Record" ---> Scroll down to "Different Audio" change "Audio Track" to '2' & change source to whatever you want. I did "Desktop Audio"

3) Now this is the most IMPORTANT step. Go back to the main OBS Page. Under 'Audio Mixer' which is the tab with the green audio bouncing up and down from your mic, and which is also in between 'Sources' and 'Scene Transitions' / You want to left click the 3 dots which are hovering above the audio button with the slider ----> once you left click the 3 dots (there's more than one, they're all above "Mic/Aux" "Desktop Audio" etc...) then you want to click "Advanced Audio Properties"

4) Once you are in "Advanced Audio Properties" you will probably already know what to do but i'll explain anyway. Once open, you will see on the far right side the "Tracks" section. On your screen all of the tracks are probably selected. If you followed my previous steps, for "Desktop Audio" unselect every track except for '2' & for "Mic/Aux" unselect every track except for '1' Now if you have any other sources available and all of their tracks are enabled, uncheck all boxes of the sources you don't want to use.

5) Now go back to the main OBS page, press the hotkeys '1' & '2' to record and stop, and then check your files and you should have the audio seperated from the different videos. (IMPORTANT) ----> I probably have different sources from you (like "Desktop Audio" & "Mic/Aux") If these steps did not work for you, try messing around with YOUR sources & tracks, because atleast now you know where to find the menus.

(OP you should really pin this cause everybody in the comments is having trouble)

If you want to separate the audio…

select the track that the source is assigned to.

Track 1 usually is the stream track so it contains all audio. If i have my mic assigned to Track 3 on advance audio settings then on the Source Recording plugin effect settings i select “separate audio” and select track 3 and the source mic/aux,
then if my capture card is assigned to track 4 so on Source Recording plugin effect settings i select “separate audio” select track 4 and on source i select my capture card and boom 🤯
ALL AUDIO will be separate.

Kinda obvious but it took me 2 hours to figure it out. Hope somebody that needed this can find this comment.

Since I play music on my streams when selecting Track 1 on the source recording plugin it recorded my voice, the gameplay audio and my music all together because track 1 is all the sound at once. But you have to take the time to assign different tracks for all the sources you want to record separately. For example I have all my audio sources on track 1 for streaming, then i have my mic on track 2 and turned off on all other tracks. Then i have my gameplay on track 1 for streaming and then on track 3 and off on all other tracks and so on and so forth. Blessings to all 🙏🏽

OMFG IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A TUTORIAL FOREVER. YOURE THE ONLY PERSON TO DO IT Exactly how I needed it! Thank you so much ❤

[Mr.Dr.Butthurt]

Awesome video, thanks for the help! I ended up getting the audio separate by making sure the 2 audio sources were on separate tracks using the audio mixer (Gameplay on track 1 only, and mic on track 2 only). Then when you setup the plugin, select the correct track and device and they should separate accordingly into each file.

bro i have been looking for such a guy like you to clearly teach us how to do things in simple manners, thank you so much here is my subscribe for you

[thecodeartificer]

Watching this makes me so proud of you. Way to go my dude.

[bradinancouver]

Thank you sir, this fast tracked getting started for my wife's author interviews. She wanted a solution where guests didn't have to install any apps or programs. Worked like a charm after playing around. I figured out how to get separate audio: I set up a scene with two sources, guest and host. In the source record filter, settings for guest Different Audio; Audio Track - Track 1; Source - guest. settings for host same but change audio track to 2 and source to host. Then in main obs screen, right click on either source and choose advanced audio settings and uncheck all but track 1 for guest and track 2 for host.

9 subscribers a year ago, now look at you! Thanks again Synkro!

[conquest]

Awesome video! I’m sure many people will find this super helpful <3

[Warrior]

I installed the plug in and I put the files where you told me in OBS studio and I don’t see “Source Record”.

[xcronsx]

God tier video, what I was looking for man! Thanks!

[ssingh]

Thank you so much for this cristp and to the point instructional video. It really helped me to record two sources at one time and using hotkeys even made it much easier. I tried many videos before but none gave such clear instructions

[OdinTheTall]

Thank you very much for this video. This has helped so much, been looking a long time for this answer!

[fredodeucyextraextra]

All I did was not select a track for the mic audio and then got the separate just mic audio on my cam footage however truly separating doesn’t seem possible because at least 1 track needs to be serviceable

[SabrinaSays]

To record them seperately, you have to go to audio mixer and set which sources go to which audio tracks. Also while im here, obs is recording 3 videos, my 2 sources and the third one isnt labeled and its both of them. Thoughts on how to fix?

[Kira_Kitsune]

Great video dude! Keep up the good work

[quackkillerreal]

Thanks much! Been having major issues with compression so hoping this helps alleviate that

[its_zamlol]

THANK YOU SO MUCH THAT SAVED ME YOURE THE BEST

[Hydrawastakentwice]

I followed your steps for installing it, but it still doesn't show up as a filter. Could I have some help?

[TheFuddFactory]

7:09 If you’re just recording then what I do is tern off the mic on OBS and record it with audacity instead. At the start of the recording just count something on screen to help you sink it.
