separate audio tracks problem: only track 1 is being recorded

Hello everyone,

My friend and I watched this video https://youtu.be/aOrAsQgJvtQ, downloaded the win capture audio plugin and copied the exact settings to our obs. We both wanted to have three separate audio tracks: discord, game and mic. Then we both recorded a short video to test it. And it worked. We checked the videos on Premiere Pro and they both had 3 separate audio tracks. We started recording the actual video after 20 minutes and mind you, we didn't change any settings at all. We recorded for more than an hour + an additional 1 min long video. Here's the weird thing: My videos only have track 1, which is discord and my friend's video has all of the tracks recorded on one single track. We realized this a day later and recorded another short video and everything was fine? I checked all of the videos on VLC player and Premiere Pro and only the 1 hour+ video and the short video we recorded right after that had problems. It's so weird and I don't understand. Our videos don't even have the same problem even tho our settings are the same. I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me. I can send the screenshots (or screenshare) if needed. I just want to understand where it went wrong. Also my friend recorded in mkv and I in mp4. Later on we tested in both and both were fine, so the problem is not about that.
 
Where is log file?
I think, MP4 working only with one audio track, second you select to recording streaming source, still only one track.
I always multitrack record in MKV format.
 
In simple mode, ever only 1 track is recorded. In advanced mode, all your 3 tracks were recorded. You can switch between them in your media player. Keep in mind media players will never mix multiple audio tracks - they are meant to be mixed in some postprocessing step by you.
 
Do you mean the advanced mode in OBS?

edit: omg yep, got it. Thank you, so that was the problem. Idk why I would switch to simple mode before recording the long vid tho... Thanks
