You will need a mixer with at least 2 post-fader auxiliary sends per channel, and if you want to run the whole thing on a single computer; a soundcard with 4-inputs and outputs (such as an m-audio delta 4), rather than the usual 2.
One pair of inputs and outputs are for the recording software, and the other pair are exclusively for the Skype software. This can be set up in the “preferences” or “settings” of each program. The trick is to feed Skype with a “mix-minus” or “clean-feed” from one of the aux outputs of your hardware mixer, whereby the aux feeding skype contains a mix of all sources “post-fader” except the skype output itself.
I also did the same trick to feed the ISDN codec, outside of the software, but using the other aux in a similar “mix-minus” fashion.
The recording software, (I used Adobe Audition) is fed from the main outputs of the mixer down it’s own pair of inputs to the soundcard. This records everything. You can either mix both the interviewer and the interviewee together in mono or panned stereo, or as a further refinement, pan the two hard-left and hard-right, thus leaving them on separate tracks for later post production. One last thing. Remember to turn off your loudspeaker monitoring during the call and listen on headphones instead, otherwise you will negate all the good work done by the aux sends!
This was in response to a clients need to record skype calls successfully.
Any questions?

there is a nice tool for skype calls recording i prefer to use http://www.imcapture.com/IMCapture_for_Skype/, i’d recommend it!) but thanx)
Better try MX SkypeRecorder
http://skyperec.com/
which is very simple and reliable, works in fully automatic or manual mode and supports various voip apps.
Ecamm Call Recorder does compress the guest s side of the convo so it s always a lot louder than the presenter and needs a bit of balancing out in post. It still shouldn t distort though if you ve checked that your mic and Skype settings are set appropriately.

Narwhals may be using their tusks to play, new study finds
lucky jet сигналы
Scientists say they have the first recorded video evidence of narwhals using tusks not only to strike and manipulate fish during feeding but also engage in what appears to be playful behavior, according to the latest research.
The narwhal, often referred to as the “unicorn of the sea” in a nod to its trademark tusk, has long remained an enigma. Scientists have observed few interactions of narwhals in their natural habitat, creating speculation about the purpose of the species’ distinctive spiraling tusk.

Found predominantly in males, the tusk grows up to 10 feet (3 meters) long — and previous research has suggested it serves as a competitive display to secure mates. But now, with the help of drones, research conducted in the Canadian High Arctic has uncovered that a narwhal may use its tusk for more than just courtship.
In total, the researchers newly identified and described 17 distinct behaviors of narwhals involving prey. The findings revealed a wide range of interactions and dynamics between narwhals and fish as well as the extraordinary agility, precision and speed of their tusks to track moving targets, according to the study published February 27 in the journal Frontiers in Marine Science.
“Seeing that these animals are not actually hunting the fish but exploring, manipulating and interacting with it was really a game changer,” said lead author Dr. Gregory O’Corry-Crowe, a research professor in the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute at Florida Atlantic University.
Since so little is understood about this whale species, researchers like O’Corry-Crowe and his colleagues are working diligently to conduct studies to document narwhals’ unknown behaviors to better understand how these animals adapt in a rapidly shifting habitat as oceans warm and sea ice melts.
Narwhal exploratory behavior
The study team captured the groundbreaking footage using drones in Creswell Bay, on the eastern side of Somerset Island in Canada’s Nunavut territory, during the summer of 2022.
As the researchers analyzed the footage, they noticed subtle nuances in the narwhals’ behavior. Footage even captured one instance of a narwhal interacting with a fish by repeatedly nudging it with its tusk — which is actually a giant tooth — without attempting to eat it.
When researchers observed a lack of aggression in some interactions between narwhals and fish, they realized these scenarios were more similar to a cat-and-mouse game, in which the animals were chasing or “playing” rather than hunting, O’Corry-Crowe said.
