Possible to use Audacity to record from 2 inputs?

[Reddog DL]

Basically, I would like to record a conversation over Skype. I would like the other users in the call to be recorded on one Audacity, while recording myself talking at the same time. All I have seen so far is a way to get one input recording at a time.

Now before when my Mac was working, I had Soundflower route them from Skype, to my headset and Garageband. I then recorded myself using Audacity.... this all being for our podcast.

Now that the Mac is down for awhile, I need to know how to duplicate that process on Windows Vista.

Thank you for your help,

Reddog

As with Mac's the Windows sound system won't allow you to record both sides of a Skype conversation, bus as on a Mac, there is software that can get you round the problem. Pamela is probably the best known - you may also be able to do it using Total Recorder or Virtual Audio Cable. There are several other programs if you look on Google - definitely go for one that you can try before you buy to be sure that it works on your system.

Thanks for the quick reply, I will try it out for sure.

Pamela is designed to do this, but only the top two versions, Professional and Business, split the conversations for post production. The bottom two versions are intentionally crippled.

I don't know of a free way to do this. Total recorder is money-based software.
