Obs And Audacity

 admin



OBS is able to record each audio source in its own audio track in the video file, so you can postprocess each source individually and independently. Postprocessing can be done with Audacity, if you like. Audacity is able to read the audio tracks from the video for mixing. If you install the ffmpeg library for Audacity, you just drag and drop your recorded file into Audacity and select your voice track to import it into audacity for editing.
