I mostly do DJ streams and I recently found out something weird in multiple OBS recordings:
The track at the top is the audio recording from Audacity and the track at the bottom is the audio of the recorded video.
In the Audacity recording everyhting is fine, no drop-outs but in the OBS recording there are these strange drop-outs.
In the picture the tracks are "in sync" but when I took a screenshot a few kicks before that drop-out:
Both tracks are not in sync. It is like "when you delete the drop-out and move the OBS recording (bottom track) to the right, it will be in sync without a drop-out".
What could cause this strange time-shift and drop-out in the recording from OBS but not in the dedicated mix-recording?
It is one computer that is doing both recordings using the same soundcard.
My signal chain:
DJ Mixer puts out 48kHz S/PDIF into a Focusrite Clarett 4Pre USB.
Soundcard gets clock from external S/PDIF and is locked to it.
In Audacity I selected S/PDIF In and in OBS, too.
Every device is locked to 48kHz and in software everything is set to 48kHz.
I cannot say if it is on stream, too or only in the recording because no viewer is listening so carefully.
Recordings are mkv using the stream-encoder and get re-muxed to mp4 after the stream using the OBS feature.
These audio issues are in the mkv and mp4 recording!
