Two Audio Tracks with Camtasia Studio and Camtasia for Mac
When you are recording both your own voice and the voice of others through the System Audio function, it can sometimes be nice to have those as separate tracks for editing later. This is especially important if either your microphone or the audio from the system audio was too loud when it was recorded. Most of the time you will want both audio tracks to be roughly at the same volume level. Camtasia Studio and Camtasia for Mac allow you to even out volume levels between the two audio
sources later in the editor. Camtasia Relay and Snagit auto-produce your content without the editing step and therefore this function is unavailable in those products.
