Күн бұрын

How to record 2 USB Microphones simultaneously on a Windows Laptop or PC. You can mix two or more microphones onto one track in Audacity using Voicemeeter. Or record different USB mics on different tracks in a DAW with ASIO4ALL. In this video tutorial we show you how step-by-step in Reaper.
I used the following USB mics, but this will work with any.
Shure MV5 - geni.us/shuremv5
Audio Technica AT2020USB+ - geni.us/AT2020USB-Plus

I have been SO FRUSTRATED trying to learn the basics of how to do face-to-face podcast interviews and this video seems to have answered my questions! I already use Audacity for my solo episodes but needed to know how to include another person for face-to-face interviews. Thank you!

Open broadcast studio is probably a better choice for things like that. You can have multiple cameras and multiple microphones if you like. It's what I started using when I gave up on getting audacity to work with multiple mics, as it's hacky as best to get working with audacity.

This is the third of your videos on audio I have watched. I was concerned because all the other videos I have seen state that a mixer is required for more than one audio source, and that usb can't be used. You certainly proved otherwise! Loved it. Thanks. P.S. Is it possible to use one usb and one mini TRS mic?

@dougdennis3681 2 жыл бұрын

Yes. ASIO/Reaper. Your multiple mics will show up just the same. Just keep adding tracks just like how she did with the AT and Shure. If you're using identical mics such as 4 Blue Yetis or 4 Snowballs, plug them in one at a time and rename the devices (Yeti1, Yeti2, etc.) Or you will have a devil of a time figuring out who has which mic in settings.

Hi Jane, for the second method for recording the two mics on separate tracks (using Reaper DAW), is the virtual audio cable connections using Voicemeeter still required? For the first method (using Audacity) you showed that Voicemeeter virtual audio cable is required for recording the two mics mixed together on a single stereo track, but you didn't mention anything about Voicemeeter for the second method using Reaper. 🤔Just wondering, thanks.🙂

Thanks for the easy to follow tutorial. I have a question though. I have 3 mics and in voicemeeter, it will only pic up one of them. If I change to a back up mic then both can be found. Doesn’t matter which of the two preferred mics I use, I can only select one. All are usb mics. Any help would be much appreciated.
