Are you preparing a Skype podcast? Unless you get insanely lucky, you’ll need purpose-built software to record a Skype show.
For the most part, Pamela has been good go-to software. They claim to be able to put the Skype voice on one track and your own voice on the other and save the work as a high-quality WAV sound file, suitable for editing and post production, pretty much exactly what you want. I know the upper two licenses do that, but that’s been a while now.

Other people make Skype recording software, but be careful not to get in bed with software that insists on using MP3 sound files. MP3 creates sound damage and you can’t stop it.

It seems like Skype is just a simple communications program, but it’s not. Skype got to be a world-famous chat application by brutally taking over the computer that’s running it. It is usually required that your capture software “knows” what Skype is and how to work around it. Generic sound programs like Audacity usually fall apart when their sound services and drivers are ripped away from them and used for other jobs.
There are people I’ve been calling Celebrity Unicorns who run Skype and Audacity, press Record and turn out show after show. Chase did this with the Reel Life podcasts.

These people are not normal and it’s almost impossible for someone else to duplicate their success.
