Recording software

TL;DR - Can any software record game video, multiple audio out devices, and audio in mic?

So I tried to record tonight's session using ShadowPlay (first time since returning), but only game audio and my mic were recorded.

My headset is a Steelseries Arctis 7, and it has a bit in audio mixer for 2 channels, "game" and "chat", that show as separate audio devices. The intention is so that you can balance game and voice volumes quickly using a dial on the headset, so I have Arma come through the game channel, and TS come through the chat channel. Works great for loud firefights etc, but didn't even occur to me that only 1 channel would captured by ShadowPlay.

Does anyone know any software that will allow me to record the video, 2 separate audio devices AND a mic channel? Does such a thing exist?

OBS

How complex is it? Easy enough to get into for someone with little recording/editing experience?

We can go through it someday if you like.

Cool, thanks Tim. I'll take you up on that later this week some time

Sounds good. Send me a Discord message to plan.

For now you can download OBS: https://obsproject.com/download

It's free and open source

Interested as well, as I have the same issue 3 Audio Channels but nvidia can only record 2...
adding the channel via audacity recording is too much work for just here look at my clip.

can obs also only record the mic if either caps or my ptt-key is used?

OBS is the way to go.  I use 3 audio channels (game, TS and my own mic).  In OBS you have full control over these.  You can adjust the level of each independently, and then record each on a separate track, or merge onto a single track, or both.  You can even set a push to talk on your mic channel.

Cheers for the thread... I'm downloading it now too 

I was making a video on how to support 3CB with video creation. If people want support on how to setup OBS, please contact a member of the Media Team.
