Hey guys so recently i got into a scenerio and well.. now i have two pcs at one house. It actually works out well because my main gaming rig is better, but the other has a faster cpu which is perfect for a streaming pc. So now im saving for a capture card and i have some questions. How should i set up my mic? i want to be on skype on my gaming rig but also have the mic as my mic source in obs on my other rig. Also I want to do the same exact thing with my webcam... And finally i use song parser as a spotify song fetching software then i use a text overlay reading from the text file generated by song parser. If i listen to music on my gaming rig, how do i set this up on my other? Thanks!

I'd recommend just running all of that on the encoding PC to simplify things, if you won't be using the in-game VoIP. I'd also STRONGLY advise against using Skype. But that's more of an 'ever' thing.

Will, that would be what I'd advise. But be aware, it will prevent you from using any IN-GAME voice communication functionality (as the mic won't be plugged into the gaming PC).
I'd just use TeamSpeak/Ventrilo/Mumble/skype on the streaming/encoding PC, along with your webcam plugged into the streaming/encoding PC. Essentially using your gaming PC as a 'console' almost, just for playing the game itself and nothing else.
