Guild Wars 2

So I am starting my own youtube channel for gw2 gameplay, and I have a dumb question.

I am using OBS to record the videos in 1080p, but it is frustrating having to push to talk while recording, as it really disrupts the flow.

Is there a way to set my mic, while recording only, to have it open? So I can just talk and not have to push to talk?

I did my first TEST recording last night, just to make sure the videos would come out in 1080p once uploaded to youtube and that seems to be working fine… you can check it out here, but I am not speaking… http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=5&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CD8QtwIwBGoVChMI6LSwuL-AxwIVA52ACh3gRQ8K&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Des_mbb4T-uc&ei=vtu4VejdMIO6ggTgi71Q&usg=AFQjCNGag0qEOz5owyU7EJYswdehmd03Hw&bvm=bv.98717601,d.eXY

google is a wonderful thing:

Thank you roachsrealm, I was searching google for open mic, not noise gate. Thank you.

no problem. I went to school for audio engineering. I’m glad to see my college education finally paying off!

So for the noise gate to work, I disable push to talk, correct?

yes, these features are typically mutually exclusive. the push to talk will always overwrite noise gate. play with the volume sliders to get your voice set to trigger it and keep unwanted background noise out.

Awesome, thank you again.

no sweat! that’ll be ten thousand dollars

haha how about an in-game cookie?

I never used OBS to record. It supports multiple audio tracks?
If so, if you have kittenB mic you can set 1 track to record your mic and then you set GW2 to use use your PC sound board and in the OBS make a 2nd audio track for that.
That way you can pick only your voice and treat as you like (I recommend Audacity) and still use the in game sound.

yes, cookies are acceptable. please send all food donations in game to Smitten Mittens, the charrdian with the glowing mittens.
