5 minutes writing a script outline can reduce the number of takes and cutdown on filler words (uh,well,like,and). DIY audio booth - your mattresses flipped up against a corner DIY Cheap pop filter - coathanger+pantyhose (or sock but muffles more) DIY cheap audio backdrop foam tiles - those cardboard drink carriers from fast food places or pool noodles cut into strips

Yes! All you have to do, is set up your hotkeys the same. In OBS, you just go into settings and into hotkeys, then find record and bind that to whatever, I use f6, and then in audacity, press Edit, then on the bottom click preferences, find keyboard near the bottom, and scroll to the R section, in there, one part says Recording - Record, it should be originally bounded to R, click that, then click your OBS record key, I still use f6, however, to record both at once, you must click your hotkey while having Audacity opened, or else only OBS will start recording. Hope this helped and wasn't too late.
Thanks for this mate, I was looking for something like this so I could start my own channel up. Being Mute for most of life my social skills or the ability to express myself vocally is lacking considerably; hoping that I can learn a new skill in video editing whilst I try exposing myself into speaking more regularly to try and get over the anxiety of how unnatural I sound in conversation. Much appreciated.

I streamed in twitch and wanted to download the video.. but the game ended up being louder than my friends and my voice. Is there a way Audacity can lower the game sound while increasing voice sound
Hello! I was wondering how it works when you've imported gameplay where I have voice already recorded in the gameplay. I realize my voice sounds lower than the sounds from the game I'm playing and I haven't figured out how to adjust my voice volume and game volume since they were not separate from the gameplay footage.

when im recording my gamplay, my controller is making a lot of irritating sound. what to do
I have a problem, when I put both the sound and the mp4 video in Hitfilm Express the voiceover comes before the video, for example if I kill someone in a game and I say "I got a kill!" like 5 seconds later before I got a kill. I checked why and it's because I recorded the voiceover a little bit after I started to record with OBS, I can't press the record button in both of them at the same time. Is there a way to fix this issue?

OK, I'll add to this video. if you're doing game play and yell, processing will not work. in the interest of free, download vst host, and add the default compressor, set the limit on there, and then chain it in audacity, in order to do that in audacity you will need go to where it says audio host, change that to wasapi, then go to recording device, and speaker, the speaker you're using, that will be your interface if you're using one. this will give you even better audio. Note that in the voice over world if you normalize you should always do it at -3db. Of course none of this will work if you do not have a quiet environment, many people go for condenser mics but I would recommend dynamic if your environment isn't like the pros. Yes lets touch on this pop filter, you don't need one, take too pencils attach them together and speak into the pencil, the air from your voice will allow for separation, you can also use the finger method, placing two of your fingers together, and speaking into them. But wait, you're trying to play games and record aren't you?, ok I got you, place your mic to the side of your mouth, this will allow for no popping due to the mic not being in front of you. you can also put the mic below your mouth and aim it up. There's more to discuss but I'll leave you with these few. Just make sure you record something and don't waste time.

And even then, digital limiters and compressors are limited in their usefulness. A proper analog limiter would be best like one built into a decent audio interface. I have a field recorder that I use for recording audio for client work that has a limiter but it;s a digital one so I don;t even bother. Instead I use a recording mode on my recorder that records the audio to 2 different files. One at whatever level I set and the other 6db quieter. If my audio on my main file clips or distorts, I can go to the quitter file and get that distorted section from that track. I use a Tascam DR-40.

Why should I "record" in Audacity and trying to juggle with synchronizing gameplay and voice track, afterwards, if i could instead record multiple audio tracks directly in OBS? After that I could extract that voice track via Audacity, for editing and it would have EXACTLY the same length than the gameplay track.

You are doing two times capturing & encoding the video this way... quality will suffer, frame rate of the video may change too if OBS capture fps is different.
Audacity is good in a pinch but all changes are destructive. 60$ will get you Reaper, a really solid DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). With Audacity, if you make equalizer changes, those changes are permanently written to the wave form, proper DAWs run the audio through plug-ins instead allowing testing and making changes in a non-permanent or destructive way. I have a copy of audacity at my dayjob because I don;t have to do editing often enough to warrant getting a proper DAW but for my side business (Photo and Video) I use a proper DAW.
