Small sh4 video recording tip

[ColonelSandersLite]

So here's something very useful I just stumbled upon completely accidentally.

I had been using audacity to record my microphone audio separate from fraps but was getting sick of not being able to start and stop audacitys recording at a keystroke.

So I decided to try out teamspeak 3's recording feature. Turning off all the advanced filters basically yields a raw audio recording. But here's the *really* useful part:

One of the biggest pains in the ass when managing separate tracks is synchronization. Completely by accident, I found out that when you hit a button in teamspeak, for which it gives audio feedback (mute microphone for example), the audio for the feedback will be recorded by both fraps in the video and teamspeak in the audio file.

So, if you start every recording by muting and unmuting the microphone, you'll have a very clear common point of reference in both audio files from which you can easily achieve perfect synchronization.
