Go to solution Solved by LogicalDrm,

1) Dxtory is the recording software, OBS is either encoder or streaming software. Pick whatever you feel like is the best. You can use them both either separetly or combined (Dxtory as recording device in OBS).

 

2) Frame drops wont be problem when you are recording locally with that setup. Most times they occur when something is taking away RAM or CPU usage from recording software. Optimize your settings and all is well.

 

3) This can be bit tricky. Game and Mic are easy since they come from different channels already. Sadly OBS only records one combined audio track so you need to select which feeds you want to combine to it and what to use Audacity for. There might be software that record multiple audio channels as separated ones but I don't know any. Or if they are cheap enough or worth getting. For Skype you need to select channel to which it outputs (use the virtual audio cable for this). It must be different than what game audio is.

Hello forum.

 

So I finally have time to start recording gameplays (mainly for friends haha).

I have Dxtory, Audacity, fraps, OBS, and I believe a program that lets me send sound source to different lines (I forgot the name currently.)

 

EDIT: The program is called Virtual Audio Cable

 

So I need some help with setting up.

 

1) Which program should I stay with recording wise, between OBS and Dxtory (I heard Fraps works well with flash games)

2) How can I prevent frame drops overall?

3) How does one record Voice, game sound, and skype separately?

 

Lastly, any advice is definitely appreciated!

 

My specs:

 

i7-4770k stock speed

8gb XMS Corsair RAM DDR3

120GB Samsung Evo SSD

500GB Western Digital HDD (For games)

1TB Seagate Barracuda (The recording destination)

GTX 780 Superclocked.

 

Thanks guys!
