There are some people who like to record pure Skype-to-Skype conversations (i.e. In the Skype preferences, I selected the AT2005USB as the source, and deactivated Skype’s AGC (automatic gain control). As explained in the dialog, your local microphone (in my case, the hybrid dynamic AT2005USB microphone which I have covered in many prior articles and ebooks) will be recorded on the left channel, and the Skype caller will be recorded on the right channel. So after selecting Skype as the program to be hijacked, you click on the Advanced button in the Input section, and then mark the two first options in the Advanced Hijacking Options dialog box: Include audio inputs and Split between channels.

As I have covered in prior articles, many recorders and apps that can record dual mono do so as a “stereo” file, which can later be converted to dual mono, for better control during editing.Īudio Hijack Pro is no exception, although the setting to accomplish it is somewhat hidden in an advanced dialog box, as shown above.

(Spoiler alert: In an upcoming article, I’ll be covering how to make phone interviews with true mix-minus using a new portable audio recorder, and without the need of any computer or external mixer, but that is not what I did with this episode of CapicúaFM with Sole Giménez.)Īudio Hijack Pro not only allows recording both sides of your Skype audio conversation, it allows you to record dual mono, so you (the Skype user) and the interviewee are on independent tracks. However, Piezo currently only records to compressed formats, and I am a purist who prefers to make all original audio recordings in uncompressed AIFF or WAVE, so I still use Audio Hijack Pro to record phone calls on my Mac. Some people prefer to use Rogue Amoeba Software’s more recent product called Piezo, which is both cheaper and simpler to use. I have been a licensed user of Audio Hijack Pro for many years.

Information about how to subscribe to CapicúaFM free is available here. By the way, the CapicúaFM program is in Castilian (the most widely used Spanish language, but one of several others), but even though you may not understand it, you’ll hear beautiful music from Sole Giménez’s latest album, Cómo hemos cambiado ( How we’ve changed) together with my voice as we discuss her album, Mexican terminology & misunderstandings, and Mexican food.

Ahead is the workflow and the final recording I used with CapicúaFM’s latest episode, including many of the audio apps used.Ībove is CapicúaFM’s current episode, so you can hear the final product of the production covered in this article.

However, that isn’t practical when you’re interviewing a Spaniard singer/songwriter like Sole Giménez (ex-Presuntos Implicados) about her latest album via an international phone call, and also want to intertwine pieces of her own music based upon her sometimes unexpected responses. Previously, I described how to produce a podcast live-to-drive using BossJock Studio with an automatic mixer (article links ahead).
