# Separating Audio for Twitch VOD

When live streaming on Twitch, audio management is crucial, especially regarding copyrighted music and content balancing. The **Twitch VOD Track** feature in the PRISM app allows streamers to separate audio tracks for their live broadcast and their recorded **Video On Demand(VOD)**. This prevents copyrighted music from affecting the recorded VOD and ensures that stream replays remain accessible.

To enable and customize the Twitch VOD Track in PRISM app, follow the instructions below.

{% step %}
**Enable Twitch VOD Track.**

Select the **Output** tab, then choose **Twitch - RTMPS** as the service and set **Output Mode** to **Advanced**.

Under the **Streaming** section, locate the **Twitch VOD Track** option and check the box to enable it.

Finally, choose a dedicated audio track (e.g., Track 6) for your Twitch VOD, then click **Apply** to save your settings.

{% step %}
**Configuring the Audio Mixer for Twitch VOD.**

To ensure only the intended audio sources are included in your Twitch VOD, click the settings icon in the **Audio Mixer** to open the **Advanced Audio Properties** window.

In the **Advanced Audio Properties** window, locate the **Tracks** section. Assign each audio source to the appropriate track.

For example, if you assign **Track 1** to include microphone, game audio, and background music while setting **Track 6** for VOD with only microphone and game audio, your live stream will have full audio, but your VOD will exclude background music, preventing potential copyright issues.
