#Obs studio separate audio tracks mp4

Recording directly to MP4 has MAJOR PROBLEMS, and zero benefits.Ģ. Record to MKV and remux it from OBS' File menu, Remux Recordings. Never, EVER record directly to MP4 with OBS for any reason. This doesn't actually SAY (at least not very well) that it creates a CxB soundtrack in a single video, where C is the number of channels that OBS is set to (mono=1, stereo=2, 5.1=6, etc.1. But the final finished product already exists as soon as you stop recording.

Do it well, along with all of the other post-production decisions that you've made into live controls, and it's as if you edited it later. Then use those hotkeys while you're recording. Set up a hotkey, for example, to mute the mic, and another to unmute it. That's really the same concept as #2, with the same sync problems, but you're only running one instance of OBS if you really care about that.Ĭlick to expand.Can you do that live? (option #3 in my previous reply) Do you know at the time of recording, what the post-production will be? If so, why not move all of that work into the live recording? Then the entire project is done when the recording is done, and it side-steps the entire question of multitrack recording. No more production to do, and nothing different is really possible either, except to take clips from it to use as B-roll or flashbacks in something else.Ī fourth option might be to use a single instance of OBS, with a plugin to record a source or scene independently of OBS's main output. But when the event itself is done, so is everything else.It requires a bit more setup, to have all the tools that you're going to need ready to go beforehand, and a bit more work in the moment, to make all the decisions live and to know what's coming.This bypasses the step that I think you're asking for, and goes directly from raw sources to a finished product, all in one go with nothing intermediate.Use a single instance of OBS, set up as if you were streaming live, but only record it.You'd think that being on the same computer would force them to use the same clock, but if one drops more frames than the other. Don't be surprised if they turn out to be *slightly* different speeds overall.Figure out some way to start them in sync, or at least sync them up later in the video editor.Use two instances of OBS, one set up for each different file that you want to record.

Use a video editor and some of its processing, to treat different parts of that one file as different sources, or use FFMPEG on the command line if that works for you, to convert it into different files that each have what you want.Then some trickery is needed to get each audio source into its own channel, since OBS itself insists that you're dumb enough that it has to 'help' you unhelpfully, with no way to tell it something different.

Audio is 5.1, to allow space for more than 2 channels.Video is extra-tall, canvas and output both, so that you can put both sources on it without overlapping.Set up OBS to record everything in a single file, in a way that doesn't actually mix, and separate it later.It seems to be converging on three options:
