Separate stereo sound in the same source

Hello, I need to see if you help me. I capture with the camera in stereo sound:
Left channel - handheld microphone.
Right channel – Ambient sound.
I would like to be able to separate the channels into obs:
Left channel double it for stereo
Right channel mute whenever you want.
Thanks.
 
For that you need to switch to advanced output mode. just check the boxes of the audio tracks of the sources you want, then separate the audio tracks in the advanced settings of the audio mixer.
In simple mode, the choice of audio tracks in the advanced settings of the audio mixer has no effect on the recording of several tracks: a single track is created with all the audio sources (track name: "simple_aac_recording"
afterwards for the stereo and the mono on the right/or on the left, it is in the audio/video editing. It will first be necessary to extract the audio tracks (with audacity for example)
 
Thank you very much FranckB, I understand what you are telling me. Sorry but I didn't say it was for streaming.
It would be something like duplicating the audio source and selecting the left channel 'audio source A' and the right channel 'audio source B', or also separating the stereo into two mono channels (A and B) to be able to mute the ambient.
I have a speaker's microphone on the left channel and another ambient microphone on the right channel (camera). When the audience applauds, for example, I would like to lower the volume just like when they ask a question, raise the volume. Everything is to avoid a small mixer table because for the camera I have two microphones. Excuse my English.
 
have you tried in the advanced settings of the audio, the balance?

Yes, I have tried but I can only output one channel (mic1 or mic2) I am attaching a schematic in case it helps. Thank you

Thank you very much. I only have as a source, the avermedia capture - I can not have active portable microphone. The setup is for a press conference. The idea is to mute 'ambiente' as long as the journalists don't ask questions.

it's a microphone detection problem on the PC... your microphone N°2 must be configured/detected on the PC, it must then appear in the list of choices of global audio sources...
Your problem comes from your configuration and not from OBS.
 
I disagree, this is a fairly typicalscenario in professional video work (to have the 2 tracks of a stereo feed be 2 different mics that need mixing) and the lack of an option to do this limits the usefulness of OBS in professional applications.

Entirely true, and most professionals that do that, don't use an app that was designed for a bedroom streamer and still has that mentality.

OBS *can* be made to control the two channels of a stereo source separately, but it's really a hack: two copies of it, both mono, and panned/balanced hard to either side. That works because the mono switch is *after* the pan/balance, which is also backwards from a pro rig.

If you need more than that, do all of your audio processing *outside* of OBS, and give it the final soundtrack as the ONLY audio source, to pass through completely unchanged.
