![]() The machine on the left could have been a phone or simple sound recorder. That part was a mess, but the voices came out OK. I wanted to see how much of that I could get away with without post-production editing. The machine on the left is recording the show in Audacity and playing iTunes music into the performance. The machine on the right is running Skype. That worked insanely well, but was overkill. There is a ridiculous extension of that where I used two computers and a small sound mixer. Record the mixed performance on your phone or other recorder placed between you and the computer speakers. You can’t use the Skype machine for anything else. Perhaps it would work if I were calling a person? I tried to do it directly in Skype, but it was not an option to record the call when I was doing my test call with Echo. I honestly find this all very confusing and don’t understand how to simply record a call. In this case, I can’t record my voice at all. The only time I have been able to record both the bot’s voice and the sound effects coming from Skype was when I had my Yeti mic plugged in and the settings were: WASAPI, Microphone (Yeti Stereo Mic loopback), Mono recording channel, Speakers (Yeti Mic). The settings I have on are WASAPI, Microphone Stereo Mix (which I enabled in the Windows sound settings), Stereo or Mono (neither works), Speakers (Realtek HD Audio). When I follow the instructions I’ve found online and test using Echo Sound Service, Audacity records the sound effects signalling the beginning and end of a Skype call but neither my nor the bot’s voice. It’s okay if the sound quality isn’t as good as with my Yeti microphone. I know that I can’t simultaneously record my mic and the sound coming from Skype, so I figured I would just use my computer’s mic to record my voice and do all one track. ![]() You can’t stop it and it’s permanent.Hi, I’m really new to this and trying to figure out how to record a Skype call on Audacity 2.3.3 using Windows 10 for podcasting. Each time you make a new MP3, it increases the compression sound damage. Use WAV and only create an MP3, if needed, at the end. Do not use MP3 anywhere in the production process. There was a recent post from someone who flushed two different voice performances into the mud because of no WAV file backups. What’s wrong with that? If anything happens to the Project, Audacity, the data system or the computer anywhere in the process, you may be back at the beginning with the microphones, speaking the show again. It’s a common mistake to Save the performance(s) as Audacity Projects and then edit your brains out until the final MP3 sound file. When you get done performing, Export both of your voices as WAV (Microsoft) 16-bit sound files for protection. You should avoid one common New User problem. You can’t make just one person louder or softer. It will be bubbly, honky Skype Voice, not theater voice, and it will be a mix. If you’re both using Skype Services, you can sweet-talk Skype into recording the composite for you and let you download the result later. Normally a rotten idea, there are applications. Try it before you record a two-hour podcast. This crossing problem is far less of a problem with headsets as compared with conventional microphones, but still. There is no boosting the volume of one, or adding effects to one without affecting the other. Yes, there are some serious problems with that, but it does work.Īnd just when you’re getting fluffy and comfortable with that idea, unless you’re recording in a studio, your voices are going to cross through room echo. Gather around the kitchen table and you record your headset on your laptop and they record theirs on their laptop.
