Game Volume Interferring With Microphone Volume

Or use DXTory and have it record game/microphone to different tracks. Pretty useful, only if the interface was as simple as OBS..

Does that have a simple system for recording both at the same time? So I'm not having to try to piece it all together correctly everytime I make a vid.
 
It creates multiple tracks of audio embedded into the file. You can extract the audio tracks easily on windows explorer with a right click, on your video editing software put them on separate tracks, and adjust volume as necessary for each track individually.
 
Nice! Is it decent for performance or is it one of those recording softwares that I need an awesome computer to avoid lag?
 
If you record with lagarith lossless codec which seems to be codec of choice for many, it seems to have less performance impact than recording with OBS with h264, assuming you're recording to a separate hard drive. For games, since it captures the game directly instead of the window or monitor, it won't cause performance issues as much as some other software. Your mileage may vary, I have a pretty decent computer with tons of memory/hard drive space, but I'll have to say I'm pretty sure it will perform just as good, if not better, than many options available.

I'm hoping someone else that uses compressed high definition codecs with it can also drop their feedback here, since lagarith creates huge files, you may prefer to avoid that option.
 
Well fraps creates huge files as well, I use handbrake to compress them and then I use PowerDirector to put together the vid and then upload from there.
 
I feel I should drop in my setup as disclaimer. I have the licensed copy of DXTory, but I prefer OBS due to its simplicity and generating high quality videos with relatively small file sizes (10-15 gigs for ~3 hours of gameplay). I use virtual audio cable to copy my microphone and headset streams, and record VAC channels with Adobe Audition, and use OBS to record game sounds with the video. Finally I combine 3 channels of audio with Premiere Pro.

If I could get DXTory to generate just as small files, I'd ditch VAC and probably OBS without a blink. VAC works nicely apparently for those that are lucky. Or just is plain headache and causes trouble 50% of the time if you're not. Gamers that use a headset for communication and external speakers for game audio that want to record them separately don't have too many options I'm afraid. If anyone knows another way, please share your tricks :)
 
Wow you know so much more about recording than I do lol. I just record the game and my voice and hope for the best when I take it into PowerDirector and make the video lol. Maybe I should look up a tutorial for all this.
 
You learn as you go along :) I used to search google to see what people use to record, edit, ups & downs of each software. Also ask others, get opinions and read what other people in similar situations have done. Video recording takes a long time, and it's a lot of effort to throw away if something goes wrong, you want to aim for the best you can do and not hope for the best. Good luck with your work! :thumbsup2:
 
If you have a Windows computer you can actually amplify the microphone, you gotta be careful though since the amplification can mess with the speaker in your pc and start making horrible noises like the ones you hear when putting a microphone right next to a speaker. Just google "Amplify microphone" or something, it should be in your recording devices options or whatever is called.
