 Hello, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rose over here for today's video I'm going to I wanted to test for a long time whether it's possible to connect to USB microphones into OBS studio in this case two different USB lab mics and to record to them so in order firstly it works So that's the that's the spoiler alert, but to show you guys how to do this I co-opted my wife Hannah who's sitting next to me here And I'm gonna be show you what I'm doing on my screen as you can see I have OBS open now So basically the smart way if you're trying to use multiple microphones in OBS my understanding is that it would be better to use a USB mixer or you could also use an audio interface So you don't need to use USB mics at all But let's say that you wanted to streamline you don't want to complicate your setup that much so you could just connect So what I've done what I've done now I'm not going to show this in the video, but I just have I'm wearing a Maono USB lab It's about a $20 $30 microphone. Hannah is wearing a Saramonic USB lab. It's about a $30 microphone And they're both USB lab mics, so they plug directly into USB type 2 on the computer Using a splitter so that's how we're currently connected now the first thing I want to show now I'm using a bunch of Linux as you mentioned in some videos It's going to be look a little bit different depending on your operating system if I go over to my input devices I can see every microphone on my system, and I can check change the levels there and mute microphones now what I recommend doing and I'm sure this existing Windows as well is muting any microphones. You're not using so you can see I've just muted the built-in microphone on the webcam because The more microphones you have the more levels you're going to see it's going to get distracting So I've just got now an OBS my two microphones up So let's see how I did this is as follows. I went into file settings. Now. There's two ways There's two ways in which you can adjust microphones in OBS or add microphones You can add them directly as output sources or if you want to you want that to persist through Scenes you can do it this way by going into settings audio and you can see now the good thing if you use two of the exact same Microphones it's going to be a bit confusing I'm not sure how that would work. The good thing here is that I can distinguish between of the two microphones Because they're they're different. I'm a ono alpha analog stereo HANA This is a ceremony comes up as UAC one point zero mic mono So I signed those as my mic and my mic to I clicked okay And then they're showing up as two independent levels and as usual in OBS I can change the levels of my microphone so we're going to just have a quick dialogue and I'm going to also Mute myself for a bit and then mute HANA HANA is on the second track here So this is me muting her microphone. So it's just me now and now I'm going to mute myself for a few seconds as well and What do you think about this dual microphone setup? It's very good. No So this is great. This would be great if you're looking to do I guess a two people sitting in the same room You want to have a chat between two people about certain topics like the weather or pizza What's your favorite pizza in Jerusalem? Okay, so we're actually recording now So this is the output of OBS studio recording in OBS on Ubuntu Linux to two lab mics as he said my lab mic HANA's lab mic and I can see the levels both going on on my screen and Test them that they're okay The good thing of course about having independent level controls is that you can if someone is a very light speaker Someone's a very quiet speaker. You can boost them or turn them down or play effects So what do you think about this? This is really exciting news for a microphone aficionado like me So this is my wife HANA This is the first time she has appeared substantially on my YouTube channel You appeared for a few seconds in a givetta tourmacy when we went up on that hike HANA is generally behind the camera person, but she is a key supporter of this YouTube channel What do you think of my YouTube adventure? It's it's also very exciting. It's very exciting. It's a lot of fun HANA is originally as people who subscribe to the channel Probably know I am originally from Ireland. I made I moved to Israel seven years ago HANA, however is originally from Texas. I am I'm from Dallas HANA is from Dallas in Texas and we miss a long time ago Do you want me to elaborate? We met about seven years ago We commonly get asked about how we met we met at a political event for English speakers Before one of the elections here That's true We did and then we ran into each other again the next night at a Latin party Latin dance party Latin dance party and one of the first things I learned about HANA is that she is a home-brewer We haven't home-brewed in oil because Now our apartment is filled up with my camera gear and your puzzles And is a big puzzler And because we're busy with work and because we're all so busy with work So we haven't home-brewed in a while, but I do we I want to do a cider and Parasider parasite. I want to do Perry. I want to do meat Maybe we could do meat with Ceylon meat was yeah, it was dates honey so expensive very cool Anyway, this is the little dialogue sample. Maybe we'll have you on for a proper interview That's some time to look forward to it until then Thank you for joining another video on the YouTube channel And if you want to get more videos like this to put everything from OBS to Linux to What else do I talk about actually know you should videos Everything hit the subscribe button.
