Question / Help Audio records only to one Track or to none

[RetroGamer83]

Hey Guys,

OBS Studio and all of the related settings and setbacks :D have become a major task for me these days. Today, I thought everything was fixed and I´ve started recording - until I´ve noticed that my OBS videos where all messed up concerning audio, even after I´ve remuxed them.

What I want to achieve: Record each input in a different track, so that I can do the remixing in my editing software
(Example - microphone in one track, SNES in a second one...)

What I´m getting: Lets say after I´ve fiddled arround with different options - either record all sources together in one track,
or have one source in a perfect track and the second is just left out

Obviously, this is the last thing that needs to be done before I can finally proceed and make my videos - that given, can you guys help me like you´ve done so beautifully in the past? Sure thing I´ve attached the log.

Thank you so much !

According to the log, you found the option to record multiple audio tracks. Your recordings contain 2, 3 or 4 audio tracks. You set this up in Settings->Output->Recording. You can set up to 6 tracks to write to the video file.
What is missing in the log is which audio source is written to which track. Click Tools->Advanced Audio Properties. Here you assign which source should be written to which track. I recommend you mix each source into track 1 for quick test possibility and additionally write each source separately to an additional track.

See this example:

In this example, I mix every source into track 1, and additionally Desktop Audio is written to track 2 separately, Guild Wars Audio to Track 3 separately, Headset to Track 4 separately and Mikrophone to track 5 separately.

Track 1 contains a mix of all sources and is somewhat redundant, but if I start the video in my media player, I am able to listen to everything conveniently mixed. This way I can quickly check if all sources are present without the need to manually switch through all audio tracks in the media player.

Tracks 2-5 contain only one source each, so it's possible to mix every one of them separately in postprocessing.

Thank you very much Koala. Its exactly that setting I have used, but this didnt change anything, unfortunately. Do you have any other ideas?

You need to switch tracks manually in your video player.

Thanks for your reply - but I´m not even looking at tracks in a video player, I´m using a video editing software, thats why I know that the tracks are not being recorded separately.
