Question / Help Audio Tracks Issues

[BurritoBaby]

So I've managed to work out how to separate the audio tracks, and organised them correctly, after a video is recorded and with me trying to view each individual audio track, I can't find my audio track (Viewed in Audacity, VLC), i've got "Desktop audio" "Desktop 2" "Microphone"

But when trying to view the individual audios i can listen to all 3, Desktop 2 Audio or the Game itself audio; But I can't find my audio track, i'm not sure if i'm doing something wrong, ples help

You say you see "Desktop audio", "Desktop2" and "Microphone fine. But it's not clear what you mean with "my audio track", which is what you are missing. Is this a 4th audio track supposed to be in the video as well?

So in Audacity I can view the mix of all 3 audio tracks, I can also view individually the game audio (Desktop Audio), Discord audio (Desktop 2); however I cannot individually view my microphone audio track.

To Clarify OBS records everything fine, its after recording when trying to listen to each individual track 'm struggling with

Please change to the scene from where you do the recording, then post a screenshot of Edit->Advanced Audio Properties, as well as a screenshot of Settings->Output->Recording tab, so we can see which sources you assigned to which track and which tracks OBS is actually writing to the video file.
If you cannot individually hear your microphone audio track, it's possible you assigned more than your mic to the track you want your mic only.

I do sorta have a fix but I'm wondering if there is an easier way, which is having another microphone tab as seen in "Audio Properties 1" and having that on track 4 as well as my original microphone track on track 1 and 4

Thank you for your time

So you use Voicemeeter and its accompanying virtual audio cables. This is something complex you can only work out yourself.

In its current state, you're writing 4 audio tracks to your video files.

• Track 1 contains 3 sources mixed together: Desktop audio, Desktop audio 2 and Mic/Aux, which refer to the audio devices Voicemeeter Input, Voicemeeter Aux Input and Microphone (an USB device).
• Track 2 contains Desktop Audio only, which is Voicemeeter Input.
• Track 3 contains Desktop Audio 2 only, which is Voicemeeter Aux Input.
• Track 4 contains Mic/Aux2, which is also configured as Microphone (the USB device).

This all looks fine to me except for track 4 and Mic/Aux2. To don't use a doubled audio device, do this: in Settings->Audio set the doubled Mic/Auxiliary audio to disabled an in Advanced Audio Settings, move the check for track 4 like this:

If you don't see 4 audio tracks in your postprocessing software, your postprocessing software isn't able to handle this many tracks.
If you want to see what tracks are actually in your video files, look with MediaInfo: https://mediaarea.net/de/MediaInfo

Sorry for the late reply, internet issues,

I do see 4 Audio tracks in my post Processing Software but having another track like how I have it set up allows me to hear my microphone, if I have it how you've shown above which is how I had it once I couldn't hear my microphone
