Solving This Problem (Day 3696 - 1/7/20)

Stephen streamed himself recording some episodes of First20, including Terraria, Dicey Dungeons, Disco Elysium, and Horizon Zero Dawn. However, when he was recording himself playing Horizon: Zero Dawn, Twitch viewers noticed that there were some audio problems. However, he wouldn't be able to adjust anything during the stream. He listened to the audio after the stream, he noticed that the audio was jittery, "like a CD skipping". He thought that the locally recorded version of the stream would be fine, but it wasn't.

All of this stems from multi-track audio recording, a feature in OBS that Stephen's been trying to use. This makes all audio better for the stream. Most people don't use this, but Stephen does. He explains that First20 videos are a way for him to experiment with video and audio settings. This is the reason why Breakfast Stream and Friday gaming streams don't have any issues because he tests it all on the First20 videos.

The issue with First20 videos having a problem is that he records a lot of weeks worth of videos all at once, so if there is a problem it is apparent in all those videos over multiple weeks. Stephen says that the video is cut by Dan and then the audio mixed correctly before being put on YouTube. Then, he talks about how they previously had an issue where the video was stuttering when there was a lot of motion on the screen. However, they were able to fix that and he will do his best to fix this issue as well.
