How to Record Multiple USB Mics at Once

You help me alottttt thank you so much

I checked 4 other videos and this one was the best! ❤

Great video 👍. Thanks Kevin

Wow, such a great video and so easy to follow. One question, I was able to record and then hear my audio once dragged into an audio editor, however, that original OBS MP4 doesn't have any sound, it's only when I drag it over I can hear it - why is that?

Thank you the info and video.. this help us so much

Hi Kevin, I found the issue. In the output advanced settings I only had ticked track 1. After I changed it to one and two I received the exact same result as you presented.

Hi Kevin, your video was exactly what I was looking for to test the recording quality of different mics. However even I have followed your instruction on a clean OBS environment, I don't get two separate tracks in Audacity 3.3. When I open the mp4 file via the menu or drop it into Audacity there's no prompt to select the audio tracks to import and theres always only one track and it seems that only the first mic is recorded. Any tip how to fix the problem would be appreciated.

Does it worked for Anyone here?

Thank you for this!

Kevin, you're the man - MHS would be proud!

This video has been really really helpful with OBS. I have a problem I need your help finding a solution to. I'm using 2 Hyper X (same model) USB mics plugged into a 4 USB adaptor. Did all the settings you suggested in this video but it's only picking up audio from one of the mics. What should I do or try to fix this so both microphones work normally? Thanks!!

you're a godsend

Question! I followed all your instructions, actually got OBS to work - but it sounds horrible! It's very tinny and I haven't seen a way to fix it. OBS seems like a viable option for my podcast otherwise - any suggestions?

Can i use multiple mics through clipchamp in the same way? Or do i need to use an audio interface (eg podtrak) to attach 2/3 mics and then connect directly to clipchamp?
Thanks

I'm considering doing exactly what you described in this great video, but I never have enough USB ports on my laptop. Can I plug in 3 USB mics with a simple USB Hub, a powered USB Hub or should I move up to a docking station? What would your recommendation be? If I do use any of those options, does OBS see just 1 mic that is the combination or can I adjust each mic individually? Thank you.

Thank you for another great video. I am currently recording a round table meeting with Zoom and a single microphone (Tonor conference USB mic). As the size of our attendance grows (currently about 15) that single table mic is not enough. Could I use OBS as a full audio/video manager and feed directly into Zoom. I am pleased with the Zoom recording abilities, so I would not need to record with OBS. Do you have a preferred USB mic that is budget friendly?

One other question, is it possible to rename the mic(s) so they always show up with my designated name, even after unplugging and plugging in at a later date? Sometimes I see so many choices, I am not sure which is correct.

Thank you soooo much for this whole video. You helped me so much with this and it worked perfectly!

Hi Kevin thanks for this video. I was wondering, to record multiple USB Mics at the same time, do you need to use virtual audio cable plugins like Voicemeeter?

It's absolutely mind blowing that in 2023 DAWs don't let you do this, but OBS Studio does.

Thankyou man!! I’ve been looking for a video like this for months!!!
