Recording Skype Audio for Broadcast?
Jennifer Leonard asks: "I'm in desperate need of securing a way to record my Skype phone calls at broadcast quality. I just purchased a Plantronics Audio.85 headset with noise-reduction mic and 32-bit DSP ('enhances the audio signal for superior stereo sound and speech recognition') and used it for a phone conversation that's intended to be played for a radio show. What I got was totally unacceptable: the audio quality is horrible! There's a constant droney hiss sound over the entire track, which just ruins the interview. Unfortunately, my radio station doesn't have the capacity to do pre-recorded phone interviews. This is why I've had to go about doing it on my own. So far, what I've tried...sucks. Does anyone know how I can get broadcast quality audio by way of recorded Skype conversations?"
Actually, I just thought of another idea, which would be to just use a splitter cable and record the audio on your own machine from two sources at once (one from the USB audio in on the Plantronics set, and the other being one side of the splitter cable redirecting the audio out from Skype back into the analogue audio in on your Mac).
Take off every sig. For great justice.
Ok, there's a bunch of ways to do this... here's a couple easy ones:
