              Record Skype Using Hardware – Mixer Mix Minus

              by Ben Straw on September 7, 2009

              Record Skype Using Hardware - Mixer Mix Minus

                Podcasts For Podcasters

                So I put together a list of Podcasts For Podcaster that are currently active providing content for you to listen.

                  Skype

                  Being a Podcaster and publisher of audio content, recording my guests and interviews can be a big challenge. Recording skype on windows (mainly Vista 64 bit) is not fun at all, with a LONG list of programs that do so many different things and some programs require you to jump through hoops (uninstall, reinstall, install [...]
