Question / Help I wish to have 3 desktop audios

[HottestElbows]

Currently, I wish to record clips from when I play with my friends- we often make funny moments and I wish to record them.
I need three things to have audio; the game we play, my voice, and discord.
I currently can only have two of those things. Is there a solution?
I have a headset (no mic) and a yeti nano microphone plugged in through USB into my computer.

There are also more useful guides in the resources section of the forum that deal with "split audio" or "multi audio tracks" - depends on what you mean with "need three things to have audio". We cannot guess, so look through these guides yourself.

I'm guessing the OP meant virtual devices-- that they need Windows to be able to route audio from different applications separately prior to being captured by OBS.

I don't expect you to give me a specific guide, but I mean that I need OBS to record the audio from three different, for a lack of a better term, things.

OBS is able to record from as many sources as you like, and that's built in. The challenge is to record exactly the desired sound sources and nothing else. Usually, everything is mixed by Windows and output to the default audio device (or desktop audio device). You can just record this mixed desktop audio and have everything, including your local media player and all Windows sounds. To extract the one desired source from of that, you need to "split" audio - that's the term used in the linked guides.

In general, it works like this: you install a virtual audio device and configure the app you want to record to output its sound not to the default device but to that virtual audio device. In OBS, you record that virtual audio device. The details on how exactly to do this, is in the guide Narcogen linked and in a few more guides in the resources section. Every guide discusses different aspects and some have different approaches.
