Question / Help Previous versions of OBS Studio

[CajuiN]

I have been trying to find OBS studio ver. 0.13.4 because it seems better than the newest one. I had all of my original settings on that version too and I can't seem to copy them into the new. Please help!

Any ways to get 0.13.4?

In what ways does 0.13.4 seem better?

When you use x264 encoder you can change the bitrate and it just seems easier to do. When I try to transfer my settings to the newest version it doesn't have the same quality.

I have to assume you're doing something terribly wrong, this explanation makes no sense.

Tell me what settings in the newest version I should use then. tbh its difficult for me to find the perfect settings in the newest one. But I want to capture multiple audio tracks because when I edit my videos my microphone is a little too quiet.

What exactly can't you find in 0.14.2 that you were using in 0.13.4? Are you trying to stream or record?

I am recording. In 0.13.x there is a bitrate, while in 0.14.2 there is a CBR, CRF, VBR, etc. I want the best quality that is possible without lag. When I use 0.14.2 there is a stutter when I use any of the CRF values. I'm very confused as to how it works.

The way I test the settings is by recording my desktop and trying to see if my mouse cursor lags/stutters

If you want the best quality possible with the lowest amount of lag, use the CURRENT version of studio, simple output mode, indistinguishable recording quality, software low cpu use encoder.

Then how exactly do I get 2 or more audio tracks?

They have to be advanced settings?

 

[Harold]

In order to use multitrack audio, yes they do

So how do the cpu usage settings work? Do they have to either be superfast or Ultrafast?

 

[Harold]

If you're recording, you should be using the crf-based bitrate selection (custom buffer of 0, crf of 15) and if your system is having performance issues recording you will likely need to use ultrafast.

Found the solution! The reason the new version lags a little is because I f OBS and the game are on seperate monitors with different refresh rates, they give 2 signals that do not go well with each other and they cause lag spikes. So when you record either have OBS on the same monitor you are recording on, or one with the same refresh rate!
