Hi there,

I've recently discovered OBS and I'm impressed with the quality of its recordings. So far my use is for high quality local recordings which I would like to edit with Sony Movie Studio Platinum 12. According to a thread in this forum you need to record audio in OBS using AAC to ensure compatibility with Sony's NLE. Unfortunately, when I use AAC my audio is distorted, or rather it plays back at perhaps 1/4 speed which makes the audio loose sync with the video and makes my voice sound extremely deep. When I record using Mp3 there is no issue with audio, but I can't import the video into Sony's NLE.

Is anyone able to help?

Thanks!

PS: It's late here, so I'm off to bed, but I will check back tomorrow morning.

Wow, that was fast!

Actually, I tried one last thing before wanting to go to bed, and it worked!! :-) Under "Encoding" I set "Channel" to "Stereo" instead of "Mono" and it worked! I had set it to "Mono" when I got distorted audio. I have no idea why it seemingly solved the problem. I've done a couple of tests now, and when I switch to "Mono" I get distorted audio and when I switch to "Stereo" I don't. So I'm happy now that I've found a workaround! :-)

Anyway, here is a link to a log file for a recording with distorted audio: http://pastebin.com/pKkjULL5

Thanks! And now I really am off to bed. See you!

Yes, that is a known bug with Mono audio. I didn't know it only affected AAC audio, though. Good to know.
 
Ah, okay, so it's a known bug. Yes, I only experienced distorted audio when using AAC. I'm happy with the workaround and so pleased with the software that I made a donation today. A big thank you to the developers and to you, dodgepong, and the other friendly people here in this forum who are eager to help! Greetings! :)
