Recording sound from Microphone and Stereo Mix

Aatami · 08-07-2009, 04:33 AM

Sorry if this is in the wrong section, but this seemed like an appropriate place to put it.

Hello, what I want is to record from two audio sources, Microphone and Stereo mix using a program such as Fraps or Hypercam etc. Quite frankly, I don't have any idea on how to do this. If you need more info i'll gladly help.

Please help.

Not a single suggestion or question...?

Disappointing...

What exactly are you attempting to do?

Well, I was hoping to do "Let's Plays". Incase you don't know, "Let's Plays" are videos in which you play a game with your own commentary over it. Example below. YouTube - [S1][P5] Silent Hill 2 [HTSF]

Hope that helps.

Do those programs record the sound from my microphone seperately?

Sounds to me like you want FRAPS.
You can find it here:

Yes, but I want to know how to record sound from my microphone and the sound from the game (stereo mix) at the same time. I checking in my sound options, hoping that I could tick both Stereo mix and Microphone for recording, but I can only tick one. Could this be a problem with my soundcard?

What program is this from?

No it isn't a sound card problem.

Audacity will record your microphone input and then you can use video editing software to put that sound track over the video.

Aatami · 08-11-2009, 03:25 PM

Okay, thank you. I will give audacity a try.

Aatami · 08-12-2009, 04:56 PM

Apparantly I can't edit my post before, so I have to create a new one. Is there any way I can record both at the same time, because for what I aim to do, hotkeys are essential and Audacity doesn't seem to have a hotkey that allows me to record whenever.

Aatami · 08-15-2009, 11:48 PM

Okay, I messed around with Audacity and that is definitely not what I need. Anyone have any other solutions?
