Thanks - note we do have a FAQ for this: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/fa ... ml#twomics .

I added Voice Meeter and Alis to the FAQ (the update will appear in the Manual for the next release of Audacity).

Thanks, Vincent.

So Voice Meeter would be a good solution for recording Skype with game audio? We quite often get asked that, but Skype can obstinately cause recording volume fluctuations or dropouts (so we're told).

Yes it can be used for that, by recording Voicemeeter virtual output (called BUS B on the GUI).

That seems to solve a lot of the recording and routing issues — on Windows.

I wonder how they got around the sync issue. You can't resample the microphones without headphone monitoring delay issues and if you don't do something, the two (or more) sources will slowly drift out of time, such as in this post:

Can we assume those are all USB microphones and headphones? There are little holes in the YouTube where he mentions product numbers.
