• Audio Recording/Fraps

Recording footage with my friends and I can never seem to get the audio levels on our microphones correct. Anyone know the best way to go about it? Thanks!
I use Sony Vegas to record only my voice and no sound from my speakers, and then I have Fraps record the internal sound coming from the game only without recording the Microphone. I just combine those two and then edit together the voice recording with the video recording
Will that take up more memory on my PC? Affect framerates or anything?
Shouldn't affect much, 2-3fps max.
I'd recommend recording yourself using audacity and record via fraps with audio, then syncing recordings in post which will only take a few seconds, less of a resource hog than having Sony vegas open and more flexible, you can even slightly deepen your voice to sound ~mysterious~.
Dxtory does this for you, just FYI. It records mic and sound separate. As for getting levels in-game and their voices right, that just takes time. Set your sound level where you want, then change the in-game audio to where both sound fine, then record, then you can vary the volume on that.
Fraps is a joke, as Brt said get Dxtory so you can record separate tracks and combine them later at whatever levels you like

But for some reason when I am recording with Fraps, Audacity completely stops working in the recording area - Can't click the record button or anything. So Sony Vegas is my only option there [editline]19th July 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Darkimmortal;36830326]Fraps is a joke, as Brt said get Dxtory so you can record separate tracks and combine them later at whatever levels you like[/QUOTE] It's great for recording raw footage if you have a mega harddisk and you want the best quality possible though
