Question / Help How to set my game audio on the left ear and voice on the right?

[Reco Mouse]

Hey guys, personally I always seem to mess something up with my audio, my being to loud or my game audio being to soft. So I want to split these into 2 while still being able to record in mp4 format. A way I found to do this is with using just the left track for my voice, and the right one for my audio. I know how to do this with profesional camera's, setting the main mic to left and the backup to right, but I was wondering if I could also do this but than on my PC having the game right, and me left. And if so, how do I do this?

Thank you so much!

You can pan the tracks in the Advanced Audio Properties...but don't...this will sound disorientating to anyone listen to it.

If we are talking splitting them up for a recording, use MKV and set your tracks as below:

Desktop + Mic on Track 1(Always leave Desktop and Mic together on Track 1),
Desktop Only Track 2
Mic Only Track 3.

In your Recording settings set it to record Track 1 + 2 + 3, Audio bitrate 160Kbps Track 1, 320Kbps on Track 2 and 3

As for MP4, don't record in MP4 unless you want to learn a hard lesson in data lose, MP4s are unrecoverable if anything happens that prevents the recording from finishing clean. You can record in MKV then Re-mux it to MP4 after recording (File/Re-Mux recordings).

Does this all work the same (with the same settings) if you have voice's of friends in your Desktop audio? Also if you know, does Adobe Premiere support MKV?

Thanks for the help!

Even if premiere doesn't support MKV you can very quickly convert your videos from MKV to MP4 using the Re-muxer in OBS (File/Re-mux Recordings)

Re-muxing is the act of changing the container of something without re-encoding or changing anything contained within it. MKV and MP4 are containers of Video and Audio streams, so it converts files from MKV to MP4 in a few seconds.
