Audio Issue: Corel X6 only showing part of my audio.

Post by Bryan85ne »

Okay, here is my current issue. I record video game footage for a youtube channel. I am recording using Dxtory, which can record audio from multiple sources. Currently, it records from two sources, one for gameplay sound and one for microphone voice overs. The problem is when you play the video through a video player, you have both gameplay audio as well as the voice over audio. But when I put the video into Corel for editing, the only audio is the game play audio. I know the video file contains both audio but Corel seems to disagree with me. I am new to Corel, so am I just missing something or should I be looking at a cause outside of Corel?

When you preview your project, are you previewing it in Clip or Project Mode? (The choice is found directly under the preview screen.) If you are in Clip preview mode, it will only play the audio associated with the clip. But in Project mode, it should play both original audio plus voiceover...

Another possibility could be the format of the voiceover. VS does not like certain types of mp3 -- particularly that which is made using the LameMP3 codec. In that case, we always suggest you convert the audio to standard .wav format and use that instead.
