Hello, folks.


I have got a need and may be you can help me.


I am a podcast producer and sometimes I need to record my voice and NVDA / system sound to make demonstrations r other stuff.


I am using audacity to record via was loop back but this has a very inconvenient side effect, which is my voice and the NVDA sound end up in the same track, so there is no way of editing individual tracks. This is stressing me because I have to take a huge care not to talk over NVDA and if I have mistakes then I need to record the whole part again.


I also has a usb mixer and I sometimes use it to mix esternal things, but due to limitations here I need to record the mixer and a usb microphone going to the computer at the same time. Again, audacity won't allow me to record two channels to two tracks on the same project.


What do I need?


A piece of software that either captures two devices and record a multi track wav with the mix of them ... or a piece of software that can have multiple instances running and each one capturing one device and recording one wav file so I can use audacity to import these files as individual tracks on the same project.


I could use OBS Studio to capture multiple devices because it records a mp4 video with separate audio tracks one for each device. It would also record of course a video and this imposes processor work, something I would ratter prefer to avoid because some of the stuff I am demonstrating are kit heavy anyways.


I have tried VoiceMeeter Banana but it is unfortunately not accessible, at least for me.


So, again, I need:

A software that captures multiple devices, records a wav or similar multi track file and also mixes and sends stuff to my hear phone so that I can hear what is being recorded.

Either this or a software that captures devices individually and records what is flowing through and also outputs the flow to my ear phones.


OBS could kind of do it. In mac, Audio hijack was the perfect solution but on Windows I am struggling to find a reliable solution.


Thanks,

Marlon
