Question / Help Capture friends' vocals ONLY from Discord

[EdFire]

Hi everyone,

Firstly, AMAZING piece of software. I only migrated to it a few days ago because NVIDIA manged to break their software with a new update. Pain in the arse, and a waste of my time! The funny thing is that OBS has drastically reduced my workflow by allowing me to capture at a fixed 60 FPS. One of MANY reasons why I love your software.

Anyway, I have a question for you lovely people.

I've successfully managed to capture Discord audio through OBS (easy enough), but if I only wanted to capture audio from OTHERS and not my own, how would I go about doing it? The reason is, I capture my own audio separately via a separate process, and it's far better than that captured using my laptop MIC, as happens with Discord.

No worries if it's not possible, but I thought it couldn't hurt to ask.

Ps. A follow up question for you: which setting to I need to adjust to capture the audio on separate tracks? For some reason, Discord has recorded ON TOP of the gameplay audio. I'm sure this one is simple, so sorry for being a noob.

Thanks, everyone!

Ed

Discord doesn't output your own audio so I'm not quite sure what you're asking for here. You don't want to record your laptop mic? Don't select it under Settings > Audio.

Audio is recorded per-device, not per-application, so splitting Discord to its own audio track will require a second sound card or some supporting software.

Thanks very much for your reply. Strangely, I wasn't hearing myself in my headsphones, but have come out on the recording. I'll have a play, and will report back!

Hey EdFire,

The same thing happens for me, are you using VLC to watch your vids after they've been recorded?
I think that the single audio track which plays in VLC is dependant on the order of the audio tracks in OBS, though I'm not sure.

Try right clicking on the file and separate the audio tracks from the video track.
Or, what I normally do is pull the file into a video editing program (Vegas Pro 13) which separates the tracks out automatically.

Hi Tawm. Thanks so much for following up on this. I managed to remove my own vocals from the records by taking my PC's microphone off - I was sure I'd done that, but it must have been turned back on again.

I'm not using VLC, but will try opening the video in Resolve to see if the tracks are separate.

Have a good day!
