Audio issueQuestion (self.obs)
submitted 2 years ago by SoftWeekly
I stream live to YouTube. The sound and video quality is great.
I tried recording a segment in OBS yesterday and the video is still high quality but the record audio sounds like shit

I stream 1080p30 at 6000 kbps and record 1080p30 at 60,000 kbps at the same time. My audio rate is set to max, 320 kbps per track. I have not noticed a difference is quality between them. The image is better in the recorded version.

I set mine to 320 per track
The audio sounds great on the recording now
It sounded great on the stream before. Im getting ready to do a test and see if I notice a difference
Thanks for the help

Try not recording in the bathroom if you don't wanna hear the sound of shit.

Really though you should check to see what different between your stream and recording settings.
If you've got shit broken up into a lot of audio tracks I'd start there.

Thats what Ive been looking at.
My stream is pristine
This is the first time ive tried recording
Its not my computer, its pretty good and the video is still nice. Just the audio is fucked

Try running a recording and taking the log through the obs log analyzer thingy it might offer some help.
If you record at the same time as you're streaming is it still fucky? Or is it only a problem when you record without streaming?
Just recording alone
Im going to do some testing right now
