Name one of them Mic, set Input Source to Mono 1 (Skype + Mic), turn Monitoring on, and click the small red Record icon to enable recording.Audio Input: Skype + Mic (or whatever you named the aggregate device).Audio Output: Your headphones (make sure you use headphones and not speakers, to avoid feedback).Track menu > Enable Multitrack Recording.Check the Use box for your mic and Soundflower (64ch).Create a new aggregate device, name it Skype + Mic (or whatever descriptive name you want).Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup.I also didn’t end up needing the LineIn app. I didn’t install the SoundflowerBed GUI app (which is retired), just the kernel module itself.
#CALL RECORDER FOR SKYPE DIFFERENT INPUT INSTALL#
The only software I needed to install was the latest Soundflower release. I ended up getting it working after some trial-and-error, so here’s what I did. There are several tutorials out there, but none of them worked completely for me. So, you need to hear both your mic and the Skype output in your headphones. It’s also best to monitor your own mic during the conversation, in order to make sure the placement is good, etc. In either case, it’s best to have everyone on separate tracks, so you can apply EQ, compression, and other effects independently. You may also want to use it if the people you’re working with aren’t tech-savvy enough to reliably record their mics. That way you avoid any quality degradations, skips, etc that are normally introduced by Skype.Įven with everyone recording themselves, though, it’s still good to record the output from Skype as a backup, and to use as a guide when syncing all the tracks After the call, everyone can send you their raw recordings, and you can import them into your DAW as separate tracks.
One of the most common remote setups is to start a Skype call (or Zoom, Hangouts, etc), but to ask each person to record their own mic locally. I’m playing around with the idea of starting up a podcast with some friends, and wanted to test some things out before I buy any new equipment. If you just want the settings, skip past this first section. TL DR: It’s possible to record a Skype call and your microphone as separate tracks in GarageBand, but the settings can be tricky.
