Recording setup
How each part is recorded:

- Host voice: Audacity
- Remote voice: Remote's Audacity
How the host hears:
- Host desktop: N.A., it's his own desktop
- Remote voice: Skype
How the remote hears:
- Host desktop: TigerVNC
- Host voice: Skype
When first launching the recording:
- Windows: Make sure the Microphone recording device is enabled
- OBS: Mute the microphone channel, only record the desktop. Check the target video resolution & destination.
- Skype: Use the Microphone as the recording channel. Start the convo & share the screen.
- TigerVNC: Share the screen with the partner, who should be able to hear the desktop (…and maybe his own voice)
On each game:
- Launch the game, lower its volume to keep the voices clear.
- OBS: Edit the scene to add the game window,
- Audacity: Start recording the Microphone on both PCs
- OBS: Start recording
Editing
- Convert the video to a smaller file with Handbrake (MPEG-4 codec)
- Gather the audio parts and master them with Audacity if needed
- Edit the video, layer the voices on top of the vid, cut as needed, add in the jingles
- After rendering at high quality, run the video through Handbrake again to get a smaller file to upload
