Does Audacity allow you to record more than one audio track at once? I recorded some game + microphone footage earlier, but the sound of my voice was drowned out at times by the game audio. If anyone knows of a good tutorial for this, then that would be very helpful.
I also tried using ShadowPlay. I increased the volume & boost of the microphone, but it didn't make much, if any, difference.
I think my settings are right, but here's a couple of pics anyway:
I don't think Audacity can multi-track, but you can launch more than one instance of Audacity... I'm not sure that's what you need here - probably better to do something like:
1. Set Shadowplay not to record your mic - this will give you the game audio on its own as part of the video file
2. Record your mic with Audacity
3. Do a manual sync - once both applications are recording but before you start your intro you want to do an action in-game that you can easily match up to something you say; for instance say you're at the main menu, maybe you'll say out loud:
"Okay, I'm at the main menu now - going to be flicking between "New game" and "Load game"... 1, 2, 1-2-3, 1, 2, 1-2-3... and again... 1, 2, 1-2-3, 1, 2, 1-2-3"
As you're doing the above counting move the mouse or hit up/down on your controller so that the menu options change in the same rhythm.
4. When you come to edit that's how you can line up the audio and video in your editor - make sure you always move the game audio with the game footage, as they are already lined up, but find the sync point in the footage and in your mic recording and then carefully line them up. If your editor has a way of displaying the waveform for the mic audio that can usually help as you can line it up partly using the peaks in the audio from your speaking.
Some people like to do a manual sync at the end of their recording session as well, or even mid-way through it - this can catch problems with the sync drifting over time (although fixing them can be tricky if not impossible)
Hope that helps
(p.s. also thinking of your settings - they look fine although you could give it a test record with the mic set to "Mono" - microphones aren't generally stereo devices, unless the AT2020 has 2 drivers inside it or something to allow it to pick up directional sound... and to be honest even if it does you'll probably get a cleaner sounding recording on mono anyhow; you don't want your voice to sound like it drifts from left to right in the balance)
