Im in the market for a game capture device. I was looking at the Elgato Hd. I was wondering if this device was able to record game chat because some of my voice actors are out of state. I would really appreciate some advice since I have little experience in this subject.

Of course. Any gaming capture device can record all the sounds you hear from your tv when you're playing. That includes other player's voices and notification sounds, besides the obvious gaming sound effects. So again, yes, the elgato can record game chat.
Recording game chat is fairly simple and any capture device can do it , all you need to do is set your preferences on your xbox to allow game chat to go through your speakers or headset and speakers.
As for devices , I started off with the Roxio SD and then moved on to the Roxio HD. I'd recommend neither though as I'm currently using an Elgato which ( if the recording program is open ) allows you to go back and record things that you might have missed.
If you could afford it though and your PC/laptop could handle it , I'd recommend getting a black magic capture card as they're the best in the business.But they are't cheap.

I have also been looking very througly for a good CapCard/Device to use. Elgato, Black Magic, and Roxio get the job done; but I have a hard time figuring out which one is best. Especially since I plan to begin to do some machinima work this fall.
Thanks for all the help, I am still having some difficulties though. When I tried to record my party chat, it only recorded my friends voice and not mine. I have very little experience in this subject so any information about recording voice by any means would be extremely helpful, thanks.
Well to record your own voice you first need a microphone hooked up till your computer/laptop. After that depending on the software you're using ( for example the elgato allows you to record your own commentary over the gameplay allowing for a live commentary ) it may be different but to record your own voice there is a free program to download call Audacity. Look into it and then get back to me

Well there are other ways to get the best possible quality but it requires skype and another free program called call graph ( it allows you to record both ends of the conversation ).
Hey, I had the same problem. I have a Roxio Game Capture HD Pro and it works like a charm unless your computer CPU is above 50%. Anyways here's how to record your own voice.
