# Separating Audio for Twitch VOD
Windows, Mac
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.
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Open PRISM app and navigate to Settings.**
You can find the Settings icon in the lower-left corner.
{% endstep %}
{% 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.
{% endstep %}
{% 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.
{% endstep %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://guide.prismlive.com/desktop/guides/streaming/twitch-streaming/separating-audio-for-twitch-vod.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
