Recording Skype call - can you help?

I use two computers. One for the Skype call. The other one for recording. I use Audacity. You'll need to get a wire to go from the audio out of one computer into the audio in of the recording one.

Thanks for the help Alex and Robert.
I may just found somthing else
A program called Vanrecord (http://www.topshareware.com/VanRecord-download-9544.htm)
Enables you to select a record source without changed Skypes settings.
So Sykpe can use the Mic for the audio and Vanrecord can use the Stereo mix with out changing skype

I am going to try it at lunch time. I will let you know

No that didn't work :( it routed all the audio back down the skype call causing loads of feedback.
Looks like I will have to use another PC.
You would think Skype would have added that feature
Thanks for the help, and if you into Media Center lookout for my podcast soon (and if you want to help checkout my plee for help!)

Try GraphEdit from Microsoft. You can route the output of your soundcard to a file. You will have to use the "File writer" filter, and you may have to use an AVI Mux filter. Just experiment with the various filters...

MixCast Live can be configured to record skype calls without feedback on machines with two audio devices. Here's a quick example of the configuration:

Microphone:
* Plug into Device A

Headphones:
* Plug into Device B

Skype:
* Audio In: Device A
* Audio Out: Device B
MCL:
* Recorder Soundcard: Device B
* Patch Cord: input Device A, output Device B

Now MCL will record everything on playing on Device B, which is a mix of the skype output and Device A's microphone.

MCL is recording and mixing everything on one device, but skype is only picking up the microphone from the other device, therefore there is no feedback for the other caller.

Here's a more detailed explaination:

JT I am trying Graphedit, I got the audio device to the avi mux to the wav file but it still either records the stereo mix and feeds back in skype or the mic and only records myself. I need a way of it not changing the windows recording propertys

Skylook records calls direct to MP3. You will need Outlook 2000/XP/2003, and Skype 1.2 or greater. www.skylook.biz.

Skylog works really well. I have been trying various other recording programs for months like Total Recorder 5.2 which I could never actually get going.

I captured a <a href="http://www.pooryorick.com/pub200509/SkypeRecordVac.html">screenshot</a> which shows exactly how to record a Skype call using Virtual Audio Cable. It works well and solves all the issues of being able to adjust your recording level, people hearing themselves speak, etc.

Why you need Audacity? This is a sound editor and not designed for audio recording. Specialized audio recorder like i-Sound (http://www.abyssmedia.com) is much more convenient for this, especially with VOX mode.

I've been at his all day and all I've found that's worked for me is this:

http://www.hotrecorder.com/

I am more than willing to shell out $15 for it but I need to get the money in paypal. Trial version works fine as well but you can only record 2 minutes and it has ads. I can deal with ads though. I don't care.

Sadly most options on the market didn't like the Plantronics headsets I have, DSP 100 and DSP 400, seeming to think they only had a microphone, so i-Sound, Freecorder, and Audacity would record fine, but you would not hear any conversation from the other party.

As much as I prefer to use Thunderbird, I do still have Outlook, and very fortunately so, because Skylook worked wonderfully, first time and output to a standard MP3 file, to make it much easier to store or playback.

I was very pleased with the simplicity of Skylook, and I hope it helps others in much the same position as I was. :)
