two separate unique tracks

Post by covertnerd »

I'm trying to record from two USB mics (Samson Q2U) in the same room. I would like to use Voicemeeter Potato to record the audio. I tried to record to two tracks, but the two files have the same audio. How do I record to two truly separate tracks where each mic has it's own track from each of the USB mics? Is this possible using Voicemeeter only? Here are screen shots of my config.

1: set your BUS B1 in COMPOSITE MODE
2: in system settings dialog box, use the PATCH COMPOSITE to replace
- BUS ch1 by the hardware in#1 left channel
- BUS ch2 by the hardware in#2 left channel

that's it.

Thanks Vincent it worked! You are amazing, I have been trying for days to figure this out. To add a 3rd and 4th mic track would I change in the system settings dialog box, use the PATCH COMPOSITE to replace
- BUS ch1 by the hardware in#3 left channel
- BUS ch2 by the hardware in#4 left channel

Thanks again for your help.

I tried the above for the 3rd and 4th track but it didn't work. How do I add a 3rd and 4th track?

in the RECORDER OPTION Dialog box, you may select 4 channels (instead of 2) if you want to record 4 channels (and 4 tracks).

Regarding the PATCH COMPOSITE, you may select in#3 in BUS channel 3 (because your channel 1 & 2 are already used as far as I understand your workflow), then select in#4 in BUS Channel 4.
