Game Volume Interferring With Microphone Volume

[aussj4link]

I still haven't quite figured out how to get the volume of the game I'm recording to not overwhelm the microphone volume. It's really frustrating as I have the microphone boosted to 30.0 db and I have the game volume almost all the way down. During recording I think everything is fine but afterwards when I review it I can barely hear myself but wow is the game volume perfect despite turning it almost all the way down. Any idea what I need to do here?

Why don't you record your voice in Audacity? That way you can edit each volume track after you are done recording.

You mean like record the video and then record voice afterwards? Or start up Fraps and then Audacity and piece the 2 recording together?

Yeah, that would be the easiest way to handle volume issues.
Glad to be of assistance!

Running audacity and fraps together is why I try to do. Not doing so causes my voice and the game to be out of sync.

Come again? Not using both programs causes the out of sync? Fraps for me has been great about keeping stuff in sync.

Yeah, Fraps has always been in Sync for me as well before I switched over to using audacity for my commentary.

Not sure why it works for you and not for me. Probably this old computer. I'll be replacing it soon, thankfully.
