Whatever mixer you get must be able to perform Mix-Minus. It must actually be two mixers. There's no easy way to explain this. The Skype computer gets everything on the mixer except the guest's own voice. Mix -- Minus their voice. Since your microphone is part of the regular mix, the guest can hear ...

Totally. Pamela used to be my go-to software until one forum poster had troubles...and Pamela threw in the towel. Oooo. That was just not welcome news. I cheated supersonically with that dual computer system, and the Pando Podcast did, too. Those MacBook Pro machines all have stereo line in and ster...

I'm going over this in my head. I have done recordings like this in conference mode. You put the Yeti on the table and talk to each person on speakers. The Yeti is connected to a separate recording computer. It picks up you direct and clean, and it picks up everybody else in Skype mix from the speak...

If you get tantalizingly close, but no cigar, Select the bottom track and Effect > Amplify. Change the top number, Amplify to -1 > OK.

You can Edit > UNDO and change that number higher (-2) or higher until it stops improving.

I may have gotten the slightest improvement through brute-force cancellation. I'm working with the forum posted sample. Drop-down menu on the left > Split Stereo to Mono. That gives you two independent mono sound tracks. You can play both or one or the other with the SOLO and MUTE buttons. They natu...

It's a mono show. You may have two blue waves, but they're the same and the bouncing sound meters bounce exactly the same. You could have split the show in two (left-hand drop-down menu > Split Stereo to Mono), deleted one of them and sent 20 seconds of mono.

As we go.

I don't think that's what you think it is. I think you were recording Skype echo processing instead of the show. That's fairly common. Usually you get mars voices with crunchy tails on everything. You got lucky in that you can still understand the performers.

As we go.

While we wrestle with this, do you know what you did wrong so it never happens again? Recording a Skype interview is not for the easily frightened. I did it with two computers and a small mixer. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/PodCast_Studio_WS-600.jpg This is an engineering test. Denise is four ...

If you're intent on using this combination for music, the UCA-202 may be a better bet than you think. I certified it for perfect overdubbing. It has a headphone connection and it will make a music mix while you're recording a multi-track overdub. You can't do that while listening to the computer hea...

Let us know.
