Record two microphones at once?

MrSinnedGaming · Feb 10th 2013, 5:19am

Can someone tell me how I can record from two microphones at once while playing a game? I'm doing some facecam Let's Plays with my brother and my headset won't pick up his voice unless he's sitting 2 inches away from me, and we can't play like that. I have more headsets, and I can plug them into my computer, but I can't record them both at the same time. So how do I do?

I really need help!

Depends on what program you use.
I use playclaw where i can choose 2 headsets as input

I'm using Camtasia when recording my webcam + microphones.

Playclaw, you say? Does it work well and can it record in HD? And is it free to download?

why would you want to do that? just use 1 microphone and both speak in it, it's gonna be even good

but with fraps there's only option for 1 microphone

(i mean a microphone not a headset)

My microphone is at the attic at the moment, and I won't go up and search for it until my new room is done. We're renovating a cabin that I'm going to move in to. So I need another solution

i've searched for playclaw, and it's sort of free, you have like a free version but there are restrictions, to not have any restriction its 37 dollar a month or something

But is it good? I record my games with Fraps and the games that's not compatible with Fraps (GBA games for example) is recorded with Camtasia Studio and I'm pretty satisfied with the results of that.

i've never used it before, but you can record in HD and it's directx 8,9,10,11 and openGL compatible

I guess I'll give it a try some day, then. Thanks anyway
