Can someone help me with this problem pls?
Recently, I reinstalled the window of my computer and redownloaded OST studios. At first, my test recording is fine, not until when I try to use another sound recording software (e.g: Free sound recorder, audacity) to separately recording my voice and the sound in the computer. The OST pop up a small black (Not sure what it is because it disappeared very fast) and after that the error: "An unspecified..." (As wrote in the title) appeared. I tried to record again with and without the alternate sound recording software but the OST can only record about 5 secs then the crash reappear again. To record again, I have to reinstall OST.
Down here is the logs file. (The log file are identically in both situation - with or without the other sound recording software). Before I reinstalled the window, this problem never had happened, that mean I could still use both OST and the other sound recording software at the same time. Really not sure what's happening here, Pls help me ASAP.

I think this logfile is not from the session you describe. There is an error here that streaming was started before a streaming destination was configured:

15:32:06.680: [rtmp stream: 'simple_stream'] URL is empty
15:32:06.680: [rtmp stream: 'simple_stream'] Connection to (null) failed: -1


and then a short but successful recording attempt:

15:32:10.424: ==== Recording Start ===============================================
15:32:10.424: [ffmpeg muxer: 'simple_file_output'] Writing file 'G:/vid souce/2019-09-15 15-32-10.mp4'...

The "unspecified error" is not in this logfile.

The "Unspecified error" was not in the log file, it appeared in a small error windows said that " "An unspecified error occured while recording". the log file came with it

If OBS presents you that error window, it also writes it to the log-- so either the log is from a different session, or the log was captured before that entry was written. In either case it's possible that there is more information available in the log that could help investigate the issue.

The above recording session is complete and has no errors-- so it's either not the session that produced the error popup, or the log isn't complete.

If you can reproduce the error it might be helpful to capture a logfile from a session where you start a session, observe an issue, stop the session, and then either upload the current log (without quitting the app) or the last log (if you upload after closing and reopening the app).
