Question / Help Recording with OBS BUT not all sounds...

[Rleeson85]

OK so the title may not make sense, but I am trying to figure out a way to make this possible and I am sure there is a way some how. I am wanting to be able to record my streams which I can do just fine now BUT it obviously will record everything that is sent to OBS. I am trying to figure out if its either possible to NOT record some things but still stream everything.

The problem here is that I want to use highlights from my streams on youtube BUT I have music playing in my streams and instead of turning it off I am wondering if it is possible to have OBS open twice. One can be used to stream like normal and the other I would like to use to record a copy of the stream BUT leaving out the music.
If this is possible using OBS twice OR if you have any other option to do this please let me know that would be awesome.
Thanks

Using OBS twice is possible, combining OBS with dxtory is possible. All kinds of setups are possible:

In the future the rewrite might simplify the process.

Thanks for this, it really helped me better understand it. I am really looking to do this for browser sounds though such as youtube and pandora.

I am basically currently running OBS twice and trying to figure out how I can do this with what the videos showed me but I cant seem to get it to work. I have also gotten Dxtory and that dont seem to do it either.

I was thinking to have just the 2nd session of OBS set to only record game sound and my voice which I would be happy with and I could use the video portion only from the first OBS session and use vegas to sync it all.
I do this because I like to upload parts of my streams on youtube and I need to avoid copyright but having the stream without music isnt as fun for the viewers.

SO here I am still stuck on what to do, I realize I can use windows media player and cut that out but I really wana stream the music and with youtube I can take song requests using nightbot on twitch.

anyway I am lost, unless there is a way to only record game sound and my voice while still running browser sounds for the live version then my idea is no good, and I will really need a new one. thanks so much in advance I really want to get this going.

A browser will always output to the default playback device. There is currently no way around that.
So to mix in browser sound only into one instance, either the game has to run on another sound output device, so its split from the browser sound, or you could use a second pc/laptop/whatever and connect it over the line-in and record that in one OBS instance.
