Need Help With Live Streaming Audio Settings For Editing

[Dentist green]

In my obs advanced audio settings I have check marked track 1,2,3. Track 1 is for Live stream, track 2 is only for desktop audio and track 3 is only for mic. However, when I edit my live stream videos in filmora and I go to split audio channels, it still shows me 1 channel that is track 1 with mic audio and desktop audio mixed in 1. However, I have track 2 and track 3 also check marked, but somehow it doesn't catch those tracks while streaming and then editing. So I want to know if I am doing anything wrong or has anyone else this issue that got the solution for it.

This problem is only when I do live stream, during recording the videos this issue doesn't happen. For recorded videos, I get the option to split audio into 2 channels as I check mark track 1 and track 2.

How exactly do you "streaming and then editing"? If you download the stream from the streaming website afterwards, this file will usually not contain more than track 1, since the streaming protocol just supports 1 track. Some selected streaming providers support more than 1 track, but that's not common. Twitch supports 2 tracks. Track 1 is what you hear in the stream, and you can configure it so that track 2 is what is written to the vod by Twitch, so in the end you will get track 2 if you download a Twitch vod afterwards.

It might be possible streaming providers support multi track streams, but I don't know which of them, and if that's really the case. You need to check with your streaming provider. One way or the other, such multi track audio support isn't meant to separate audio sources such as mic and environment audio but to provide different voice languages at the time of stream.

However, if you stream and record with OBS at the same time (clicking both "start streaming" and "start recording" buttons or activate Settings > General > Output > Automatically record when streaming), the created local video file will contain exactly the same as the video data from the stream and additionally the multi audio tracks you configured in Settings > Output > Recording > Audio Track.

I tried streaming and recording at the same time as it is an easy solution to my problem but it lags a lot due to double bit rate usage.

What I am trying to achieve is when I stream on youtube live... later I want to edit my streamed vod and make it into a video for which I need my mic and in game audio to be separated files.. but I cant get that... I get mixed audio files of both my mic and game since the streaming audio output is set to track 1

If you use the encoder "(use stream encoder)" for recording, the video will be encoded just once with no additional encoding load. What do you mean with "double bit rate usage"? Recording will not consume any network usage, it's taking place locally.

New issue I'm having with OBS....I use Sam's Broadcaster to play my commercials and any music I might use while using the OBS platform to videolivestream. Up until like last week I could turn my encoder on through Sams and provide an live audio stream to my internet radio station which is located on my website and through the Zeno Radio app. Last week however everything is working perfect except now when I turn my encoder on, my mic no longer works unless I close out OBS. When I turn off the encoder on Sams the mic works perfectly again on OBS. I use a simple microphone headset with boom mic through the headphone microphone port on my computer. It has worked great for years now all of a sudden it doesn't. Any ideas on how to fix this?
