Hi,
I have been messing around with OBS for some 4 years now, but still I can't fix this problem after all my research.
I have given OBS numerous tries but this thing kept bugging me.

When I view back my recorded video, or I look at the preview, the video seem smooth at 60 fps.
But sometimes (Around every 20 seconds) I get a sudden "Lag spike". The video drops from 60fps to something like 20fps, just for 1 second.
After the lag spike, the video is back to normal again.
This occurs as previously mentioned every 20 seconds or so.

Change your output mode to simple, your recording quality to indistinguishable, your recording format to flv or mkv, and your recording encoder to nvenc.

Is there a way to record multiple audio tracks via this?

EDIT: Either way this solution didn't help me :(
