If you have two USB microphones or any other separate sound devices you can aggregate them as a single device for recording in Audacity, or use other recording software to record the two devices to separate tracks.

Record each track to different computers.

If these are dynamic microphones that do not need extra power, buy an adaptor that has two inputs for the microphones with a single 1/8 inch TRS connector for the computer microphone port (this will usually only give you a combined mono input).

Connect the separate microphones to a mixer and record from the mixer.

If your sound device has separate left and right mic inputs, connect the separate microphones to those inputs.
