Record Skype Interview Put interviewee on separate track

I want to make an interview podcast using Skype. I have garageband and an M Audio Fast track usb interface. Does anyone know if it is possible to put the interviewer and the interviewee on separate tracks using what I have? Thanks.

The best way to record skype interviews is off the computer.
http://www.podcast411.com/mixer.pdf
Here is the set up I have been using for the past 8+ years for podCast411. If you pan your self left and the other person right - you can record each on your own side of the track and can break out in post.
This will give you the best sounding skype recordings and also the most reliable recordings.
You do NOT want to record in garageband - if you are doing an interview - garageband is very flakey and you will have crashes with garageband and you WILL loose interviews. Do not use Garageband to record your interviews.

Having Trouble Recording Skype Interview on Separate Tracks

I'm using the Presonus Firestudio Project Mixer and Adobe Audition to try and record Skype interviews on separate tracks. I am positive I have all cables hooked up properly on the mixer.
Everything works fine except track two, which should only be picking up the other line of the Skype call, is still slightly picking up my voice. So track one is just me. Track two is podcast guest plus still me faintly. I have track one dedicated to mic one, which is me. And track two is dedicated to mic 3, which loops through the back on the mixer to the main outs.
How can I completely eliminate myself on track two so that it only picks up the guest?

I have two XLR Male to 1/4 inch TRS Male coming out of Mics three and four of the Presonus and routing back around back into the main outs of the Presonus. This is supposed to make the loop so the Skype call can record separately.
I'm connecting Audition to the Presonus simply by selecting Mic three for the guests track and Mic one for mine. It's picking up both fine, it's just picking me up on both tracks. The Skype signal is coming into Audition via the Presonus mixer.
All Audition, Skype and Mac audio settings are set entirely to Presonus.

How Can I record Phone Interviews in Garage Band for a podcast?

Hello...I have a Blue Snowball microphone, IMAC, and Garage Band 3.0.2.
I would like to record phone interviews in Garage band and be able to keep the incoming call at a high enough and clear enough level. So I am not to loud and they are not to low.
This wil be or a podcast.
Please help, any ideas?
-Chris

There's cheap telephone interfaces at Radio Shack (you might do a search in this forum, they have been mentioned before) which plug into the Mac's line-in. Since the Snowball is USB, you can go to the Audio-Midi Utility and create an "Aggregate Device" that consists of your line-in and your Snowball - that way you can record the two sources to two separate tracks and adjust their levels independently.

Importing a recorded Skype call into Premiere Pro & audio goes out of sync. PLEASE help!

Every time I try and import a clip it gets out of sync, but if I open the file in quicktime its perfect???

(Not sure why this response was originally rejected by the moderators, but am trying again.)
A solution that worked for us:
[EDIT] I do NOT work for any of the companies included in this solution, nor do I receive any kind of renumeration from them. I am recording the software and steps we used to overcome the problem of the original poster.[END EDIT]
The Skype Call Recorder (Ecamm) has 4 built-in converter/splitter apps (you have to look in the "Movie Files" folder to find them). We used the apps to split the recorded Skype video calls into 2 separate "conversations" and then used a free online converter (http://www.online-convert.com/) to convert the conversations into MP4s. Once the MP4s were imported into Adobe Premiere the audio lined up perfectly with the video.
Hope this helps somebody.

How to Record a Interview with Multi tracks using Adobe Audition CC

Hi,
I would like to record a Skype Interview call using Adobe Audition CC.
I am able to get Track 1 to reconize my voice, but I can't figure out how to get Track 2 to pick up the other person's voice I am interviewing through the Skype Call. I am using Skype's call recording as a back up, however, I hear the call quality is better if it goes straight into Adutiton.
I am sure it has something to do with the input and output, but just ahve no idea where to start.
Any help would be greatly apprecaited!

How to Record an Interview call through Skype in Audition CC

Hi,
I would like to record a Skype Interview call using Adobe Audition CC.
I have seen posts about this topic, however, no one gives a step by step process to set it up if you are an absolute newbie to Audition.
I am able to get Track 1 to reconize my voice, but I can't figure out how to get Track 2 to pick up the other person's voice I am interviewing through the Skype call. I am using Skype's call recording as a back up, however, I hear the call quality is better if it goes straight into Adutiton.
Do I need a mixer for this to be possible?

Now you said it's best, however, if you don't have a mixer is it still possible?
It might be, but if you think that setting it up with a mixer might be difficult, I can assure you that without one it's going to be a whole load harder, especially if you have to use an internal sound device. And no I haven't tried - nor am I likely to.
Also, the PDF is great. If I get a mixer, Are there directions for after you set that up and you need help setting up the interface?
No, because I haven't rewritten it yet! (as mentioned on the other thread).
If you are serious about doing this, a small mixer is a very good idea anyway, and they really don't cost that much nowadays. I haven't tried it, but I think that it should be relatively easy to set this up with one of the mixers that also contains an audio interface (so you just have to connect it via a USB cable). I will look into that. The version in the .pdf works with any mixer, although it needs unimpeded line in/line connections on your computer. Most of them can just about manage this, but some manufacturers still make this difficult.

Recording Reason/Rewire Drums on Separate Tracks

Hi,
I've been using Logic for a while now and am now trying to use Reason's ReDrum to sequence some drums.
I've managed to get Logic to play each drum through a different channel, which is a start. How would I go about actually recording each drum to a separate track? I've set up tracks with the Aux channels as the input, but the sound won't record.
I can output each Aux channel to a separate bus then create tracks with busses as inputs - this DOES record but is quite messy.
Is there an easier way to do this? Something simple I'm missing?

Corey M wrote:
Are you serious?
There is no way to do a live record for each track in Logic when the Reason instruments are wired directly through the hardware interface?
There must be a way to do it. Here is my problem:
1. Wire a Subtractor directly to the hardware interface, Channel 5 for example.
2. In Logic, select an audio track, change the channel to Rewire - Reason - Channel 5.
3. Playback works fine, plugins and effects apply with ease, but there is no way to record to the track. The "enable for record" button to the left of the track dissappears.
Anyone!?!?
Put an I/O Plug-In on the respective Rewire track in Logic and set the output to an unused output of your audio interface, and bring it back in on an unused input (if you're bringing in a stereo signal, i.e. a Redrum sound panned center, then you would have to put an I/O Plug on both the hard left panned Rewire track and the hard panned right track in Logic). Then set the Rewire track's output to No Output and pull the fader down just to be safe. Next go to an available audio track in Logic and set it's input to the same input you brought it back from the I/O Plug and then hit Record enable...and voila! You can now live record each Rewire track into Logic.
Hope this is clear enough. I personally use the I/O Plug to send Redrum sounds out to a hardware compressor/limiter via my AES out and back in via AES in. The I/O Plug really gives you endless possibilities with Rewire tracks. ;o)

How to record two mics on separate tracks in GB?

So I've got the Mackie 820i, and two Shure sm58 mics hooked up. I'm able to record, and everything seems fine, but at the moment it's on one track. How do I set it up so that each mic records on a separate track? Thanks in advance for any help.

How to record multiple inputs to separate tracks using an Audigy 4 pro

Hi,
I've been playing with my Audigy 4 Pro and Cubase LE on my windows XP box (since it ships with the card) and have been reasonably impressed with the results I've been getting (nothing amazing to be sure, but more than enough to amuse me).
However, I'm now at the point where I want to record the mic/line 1, line 2, and line 3 inputs all to separate tracks in Cubase LE. I'll be ****ed if I can figure out how to do it.
I've got jacks going into the front of the external Audigy 4 (into all the inputs) but I can't find any option anywhere that will allow me to select multiple recording inputs at the same time. From all of the reading I've been doing it looks like I need to do some ASIO configuration somewhere so that Cubase LE will give me some more VST input mappings.
So firstly, I guess is what I'm trying to do possible with the Audigy 4 Pro and Cubase LE?
If it is possible, what do I do to enable the additional inputs? I seem to have been through all the possible programs and configuration screens at least three times over and am now completely stuck.
Any help, thoughts, pointers, step by step instructions would be greatly appreciated.

Entrop1cLqd,
This is off the top of my head so my memory may be incorrect here but this is what I remember. First off make sure that you have Audigy ASIO or Audigy ASIO 24/96 selected in devices. Then go to VST inputs setup and make sure that they are all active. Note the names in here as that is how the recording is mapped (E.g. if Line In 3 is even with IN 1 then Line In 3 will be recorded from IN 1). Arm the tracks you want to record on and select their recording inputs based on the labels from the VST inputs setup.
This should get you setup.

Recording separate tracks

My apologies if this has been gone over numerous times - I've spent the past month attempting to get this answer from a variety of sources but have been wholly unsuccessful.
I'm recording vocals and guitar with two separate mics which I then run into a Presonus Firestudio (which has two inputs) which then connects to my laptop.
How do I get the two signals to separate into two separate tracks in Logic? They always combine into one track no matter how much I've played with the Audio Preferences. Do I need to be activating the Bus in some way?
Thanks so much for any assistance,
Scott

create MONO audio tracks and select "Input 1" for the first and "Input 2" for the second.
Now your two inputs will split to these two mono tracks, which can also be recorded together. If you want to apply stereo FX later, you can use a plugin that has a mono->stereo entry like the stereo delay or the gain utility.

Urgent- How to separate bad records from load and put into a separate table

We have an error handling requirement in ODI 11g from the client that whenever a bad record is encountered the execution flow shud not stop rather it shud separate those records into an error table so that at the end of the load we shud be left with all the records (except bad records) in the target table and those bad records shud be there in a separate error table.
The definition of the bad records may include the size of a column or datatype mismatch between source and target table. How to implement this error handling strategy in ODI or is there any out of box solution that we can leverage Please Help.
Thanks & Regards,
SBV
Edited by: user13133733 on Dec 23, 2011 4:45 AM

Hi SBV,
Please find my responses below,
I have tried the steps suggested, however i have some doubts:
1. What all data exceptions (e.g. primary key constraint violation etc.) are covered in this mechanism?Yes you can handle PK,FK, Check constraints violations etc., using CKM.
2. If there is a column size mismatch between source and target table will this work? (I think not because i tried it and it'll give error before populating the I$ table, because I$ is created according to the source).
You are right column size mismatches will not be captured as a part of default CKM property.
Also i am getting an error in the creation of SNP_CHECK_TAB step. In my case ODI is by default making a query like "create table .SNP_CHECK_TAB" , now this dot (.) before SNP_CHECK_TAB is making it an invalid table name and hence this step is a warning (not an error), but in the next step (delete previous checksum) it is throwing an error as this step is also looking for .SNP_CHECK_TAB table which is not there.
Please help me where the issue lies. I have NO idea why it is making that query by default I have freshly impoted the CKM Oracle and used it.
This is coz there is no DEFAULT physical schema not defined at your target data server.
Go to, Topology Manager-> Phy architecture -> <Your Technology>-> <Your target data server>-> expand, open up your physical schema and check DEAFULT.
Thanks,

How do you separate tracks using effects with patch mix

I step record using a oxygen 8 for my midi stuff and then I use a few tracks of real time audio .I just purchased a e-mu 0404 heard good and bad about it but it seems once you get past all the software issues then, its a quality sound.so far I have a great sound coming out. but cant figure out alot of things so I'll just ask one more. patch mix dsp has alot of cool effects. how do i get those and keep them separate in my recording.using mutiple tracks so if i want to put reverb on drums ,and phaze tyhe guitar, and have the ability to mix down using the separate tracks recorded with different effects.

Help - Recording audio interviews for use as podcasts

Hi there -
I'm looking for guidance on getting started with recording audio interviews and then putting on the net as a podcast. Key questions are:
- What is the best equipment to use when starting, in terms of microphones etc.?
etc.(The interviews will be mostly in person, but some may be over skype)
- What software should I use to create podcast? (i have garageband & final vinyl on my macbook)
- What are the 'watch-outs'/most common mistakes I should watch for?
Any help much appreciated.

These two pages offer some suggestions:
http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/FAQPages/Interfaces.html
http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/Microphones.html
The author of these pages posts in the GarageBand Forum as do others who use it, and it's a good place to ask questions about this.
As to creating a podcast, once you have made the MP3 audio files (in GarageBand or an audio editor such as Audacity) my recommendation would be Podcast Maker which will write the feed for you and upload it and the files to a server; it writes a good feed and isn't given to causing problems. iWeb can also make a podcast, together with an associated web page, though you may have less control over how it's done.

Working with recorded Skype conversations

Hello all! I have recorded a conversation through a Skype call recorder, split it into two tracks using their converter, converted the tracks into MP3 files, and tried to import them as separate tracks into GarageBand 3. Although I could hear both sides of the recorded conversation when I played the files in iTunes, for some mysterious reason I can only hear my side of the call when I import those files into GarageBand. Help?

The "official" reasons are stated in this Skype FAQ:

In the worst-case scenario your phone will still function with any Skype release that includes the API. So as long as you do not upgrade to newer releases without it, it will still function fine.

Audio on Separate Tracks via Firewire

I have a feeling this is a stupid question, but I'd hate to go without asking, so... I'm using a Behringer Eurorack UB1202 with a Behringer F-Control firewire interface to record a podcast with 3 (sometimes 4) microphones. Is there a way I could use that setup to split the audio onto 3 (or four) separate tracks? I'm assuming the answer is "no," since it ultimately dumps into one firewire input and therefore (I guess) one signal. I imagine I might be able to split off left and right channels, yes? But with 3 mics, that would put one on one track and two on another? (I'm using an iBook, by the way, so I've only got one firewire port to work with...)

Hi DaddyPaycheck. I'm fairly new to digital audio, so I'm stumbling around.
On a couple of occasions I tried setting the drum track to MIDI channel 10 in Logic at someone's suggestion. That didn't resolve it.
There seems to be that kind of MIDI channel setting in Logic itself. But if there's also a MIDI channel setting out of the devices themselves, I don't know where that's set up. I also don't know if the Audio MIDI Setup app needs to be configured in a particular way.
Right now, only the U-Key has a device icon in the Audio MIDI setup.
