Laggy recordings

1. Enable Game Mode via the Windows 10 "Settings" app, under Gaming > Game Mode.
2. Your audio devices have sample rates that doesn't match the OBS sample rate. This can result in audio drift over time or sound distortion. Check your audio devices in Windows settings (both Playback and Recording) and ensure the Default Format (under Advanced) is consistent. 48000 Hz is recommended.
OBS Sample Rate: 48000 Hz
VoiceMeeter Aux Output (VB-Audio VoiceMeeter AUX VAIO): 44100 Hz
Microphone (HD Pro Webcam C920): 16000 Hz
3. Run OBS as Admin. Right click on the OBS shortcut, properties, advanced, check box, ok, apply, ok.
4. Record to MKV. If you record to MP4 or MOV and the recording is interrupted, the file will be corrupted and unrecoverable.
If you require MP4 files for some other purpose like editing, remux them afterwards by selecting File > Remux Recordings in the main OBS Studio window or enable Auto Remux in the Advanced Settings.
5. Use the Quality Preset and uncheck the boxes for look-ahead and psycho visual tuning. These along with max quality use additional GPU.
