Adding another audio channel

[Rektum]

I am using OBS to record gameplay and whatnot, but sometimes I am skyping with my friend(s) and want to have a separate audio channel for Skype when recording, so that I can choose to edit the audio or remove it when editing the recording. I'm wondering how I can go about adding a separate audio channel for Skype itself (while still being able to hear Skype through my headset, but being able to edit that separate channel when editing the recording). Thanks

Obs can only handle one audio channel.

Are you sure? I was watching this YouTube tutorial and the guy was showing how to add multiple tracks/channels to have separate audio for things like the game, skype, teamspeak, and microphone.  

   

At 9:19 he shows how to do this with a mixamp, but I was wondering if it was virtually possible without needing to buy separate gear.

 

 

Sorry if I'm using the wrong term, do I mean audio devices rather channels? I'm not sure..

I may be unclear on what your are asking. Channels are essentially individual recordings. If you have a mic channel and a game channel, you would essentially have two individual streams of audio that you can edit independently, remove one, etc. last one I used obs, multi channel audio was not possible. If you want multiple devices of input, like a mic, game audio, and skype all feeding into one audio channel, that is possible. I believe that should be enabled by default, as obs records desktop audio, or all audio that comes from any open program. The menu you screenshotted is for adding additional mics or line in inputs.

In the video, he shows that it is possible with OBS. The screenshot above makes 2 separate channels when putting it in an editing software.

 

 

This is a screenshot from the video. Here he shows after configuring his mixamp settings and recording the short video (mp4), he has separate channels for Skype/Teamspeak, Game, and Microphone. That's what I want to do but without using a mixamp. I heard of "Virtual Audio Cable" but I'm not sure if that's the same thing.
