    In TV production, we refer to this as 'ISO' recording, as in recording a single source in 'isolation'. Mandatory for post production when editing and cutting down.

    Just putting this here in case it helps anyone else: If you just want to omit one thing from a recording (like a stream border or a vtuber or something) but want to keep multiple other things, you can make a new scene without the element you want to omit and then plop the source record filter right on the scene. Even if you aren't using that scene during the stream, it'll record it without the omitted source.

      Sir, I am forever in your debt.
      I needed a way to record everything but alerts/alert sounds. But since I monitor and output alert audio it would still catch the alert audio because my main source is my headset. But I made a new scene and put the filter on the scene instead of the specific games and now I can record gameplay, gameplay audio, and mic audio without any alert popup or audio. spent 30 minutes trying to figure out before reading this comment. You sir are a legend.

  • @forgingeagle

    I found a good tip I wanted to share with anyone who may have the same issue. My audio quality from the video only recordings has been awful, and the video itself low as well. My two videos I've done so far suffered from these issues.
    With a little playing around in the settings, I found that using the NVENC setting for the video encoder, using CQP and a level of 14 helped my video a lot. The audio was still an issue though, so I decided to set audio channel 6 to only record my Elgato device. I then set the recording filter to use only that audio source, and in tests it has been perfect.
    I'll be posting a new video next week with these settings fixed to reflect the changes from the first playthrough I recorded to the second. Hopefully that helps if anyone had the same issues as me. =)

    Oooh, thank you! I struggled with this plugin before, so I'll take this as an opportunity to revisit it - one question though, how does the resource usage of this compare to recording an equivalent capture (i.e. just game / window / display) on a second instance of OBS? Does it still require as much overhead to get the source record as the second OBS does to essentially composite a second, basic scene, or is it less resource-intensive, if you've measured that?

  • @MrHelming

    What no one seems to mention is that it TANKS performance. I tried it on a AMD 5800x, OC to 4,6Ghz all core, 32gb DDR4 3600Mhz and a 3080 with 200Mhz OC and I got 15 fps in Helldivers 2 with the graphics all down to low.
    And to clarify, the bit rate for facecam and gameplay was bare minimum for 1080 60fps for youtube.
    Absolutely don't use this plugin if you actually wanna play your game while recording/streaming

    One feature that I hope gets added to this is the ability to record multiple audio tracks. It would make editing streams a lot easier and reduce cpu usage in my case. My current workaround is having 2 source record filters on my gameplay and webcam while also recording my entire scene at the lowest possible video bitrate to capture all my audio tracks.

    This video is pretty sick in terms of technical prowess. Most creators go there very shallow into that matter. But here you are solving big time problems for advanced users.

      @Babi Babu TV You probably already figured this out, but in OBS if you go to Edit > Advanced Audio Properties, you can output all of your different audio channels to any of 6 tracks. Then when you open the file in your video editing software, those audio sources should be in their own track according to how you've checked the boxes in OBS. This way you can mute or otherwise adjust the volume for each audio source separately. Hopefully that makes sense lol.

    @WalrusFPGA 3 роки тому

    This looks like a really handy tool. Would never be able to use it for PC games with a 980ti, but for recording external things like MiSTer via OBS this could be very handy indeed. I could stream the software validation project I'm working on for PC Engine CD while recording solid footage for the (unlisted) archive I'm making on my channel for this project, for later review by others without overlays or voice being over the game.
    The only real dealbreaker at the moment is the NVENC (new) incompatibility since my older GPU definitely benefits from the efficiency gains. I also don't even have the old NVENC even as an option in OBS, strangely enough. Gonna have to check out that workaround you mentioned.
    One thing you may have wanted to mention is the disk IO requirements when recording multiple streams at once like that. Many people record to HDD's still because of the low cost/GB ratio and the size that recordings can take, especially when you save them locally in an archive. I imagine this will pose an issue if they overloaded the IO with multiple simultaneous recordings, so they would need to redirect to multiple drives, or specifically use SSD if just one drive.
    Sorry for the diary entry here- just a ton of ideas sprang while watching this. Thanks EposVox!

    • @SerDinoOfficial
      @SerDinoOfficial 2 роки тому

      Honestly, I get what you're saying but I feel like that's a minimal issue in 2022. While many people still use HHDs for storage, because of their= size/price ratio, I don't know anyone who uses one for a primary drive; SSDs have come down in price dramatically. I would see most people recording directly to a primary or 2nd SSD and then moving the footage over to a storage HHD if they need to keep it longer.
      It's anecdotal evidence for sure, being my personal experiences; For my setup, I have a 2TB NVMe as my primary drive and then a storage cadge of about 10TB on the side.

    Could anybody go more in depth if I record game audio with it. Can’t seem to figure that part out

    This is great! I do love editing, and I love having highlights on youtube, but streaming can also be easier.
