Best video capture software with reason

[Jmax]

hi guys,

I wanted to know if anyone had any advice of what video capture software is best to use using reason tutorials? How exactly is the sound recorded? I've tried a couple but have had a couple issues when I'm recording audio through my audio interface and then also my speech through the web cam audio which also picks up audio from my monitors. What is the best way to do it? Use a microphone or is webcam mic in combination with audio card enough?

I use OBS for the video capture.

I've never had luck with letting any video capture software use the same interface that Reason is using. So I connect the primary interface to a secondary one (analog patch cables are fine, but now my secondary has a S/PDIF in, so I use that instead).

I use an XLR condenser mic plugged into my primary interface. Since it has multiple inputs, and its own mixer, I allow the mic audio to pass through. But you can also set up an audio track in Reason, assign the mic's input to it, and turn on monitoring.

Wear headphones regardless of how you end up setting up your mic.

A friend recently recommended this http://www.movavi.com/screen-recorder/ to me but I've not tried it yet. Also it seems to be one of the top hits when you google screen video capture so you may already know of it.

Cheers

Sounds a little complicated.
Yes I've always had issues getting audio from the interface and web cam mic at the same time or some sort if feed back. When I watch YouTube videos of tutorials it always looks like their voice is just picked up from the webcam mic.

On Mac ScreenFlow...

On Windows, Bandicam is a nice one.  The demo is fully functional (though time limited and water-marked) so you can test drive it without buying for as long as you want.  Recording audio is simple - you use stock DX drivers if your audio card doesn't support loopback.  There's an easy "how-to" on their website, and help tutorials in general are very easy to understand.

+1 - records whatever you hear from the computer with no issues whatsoever. You can also record from a separate mic (built in or external), and it keeps the mic on a separate track from the computer audio. So simple IMO. It's the only software I've needed for video tutorials/product videos etc. 

BTW, it's also what Ryan has used for all the Props videos as well (for screen captures). One caveat: it's Mac only.

Great to know.. I'm using PC but I have a friend running Mac.

Yes I believe the best way would be to use the onboard dx card as oppose to my audio interface which is connected through USB. The onboard card would work easier with using the mic from the webcam. Less complications the better I suposse

Just had a look at this and I reckon it looks better than movavi and cheaper too

Your options depend on whether you intend to create scripted tutorials or just screen capture the audio and video for a "how to" lesson in real time.  I currently use Lync 2013, which allows you to capture audio, video, instant messaging (IM), screen sharing, PowerPoint slides, whiteboard, and polling. I normally create a two person meeting (one presenter, one participant). Most the work is done on the presenter workstation (desktop), but I use the participant workstation to "ask questions." This methodology helps me to make the presentation more viewer-centric. This approach works really well if you can get 2-3 people to participate in the tutorial as you record it. It will give you a good sense on how slow or fast to pace the video, as well as verify that the instructions you are providing work for someone who is not in the room with you or has no way of asking you questions.

Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 has been good for me.

What I'm using for recording video on Windows is Joyoshare Screen Recorder as it's very easy to use. Regarding the audios, it depends on your choice which to record. For me, I always turns off the microphone audio and leaves system audio on since there would be unexpected noises during recording if the microphone is on. Anyway, it's a great solution to try out if you are looking for a smart and simple video capture software on Windows.

Does anyone know of a screen capture program on Windows that can use ASIO drivers? This has been my biggest problem with OBS. Love the program otherwise.

I use them, did stop using PD15 (not capture) due to sound issue when compiling up.
PD16 is nice and fast.
With the capture you can capture sound from card and separate mic.

NCH Debut - Using this one with great success on Windows (haven't tried on OSX, yet).

I am not sure what else could one want from this kind of software, it has everything i guess. Not expensive.

I am usually recording sound coming from internal sources (DAW playback for example) and external sources (microphone) at the same time. Setup is pretty much soundcard depending - i am using Babyface TotalMix Loopback feature to sum all sources to single soundcard input and then recording this input in Debut. Works like a charm.

Icecream screen recorder is pretty fabulous. Feels extremely light weight, and also very intuitive.

I recommend FoneLab Screen Recorder which I have been using for years. It can record video with the system audio or microphone voice.
