To all my Mac users out there: What are you using to record Skype calls? Anyone know if Audacity 2 will allow Mac users to record system audio?


Audacity plus Soundflower will do the trick.

SoundFlower is a little buggy on Lion still.


Rogue Amoeba's Audio Hijack Pro works for that.


I couldn't get audio hijack pro to actually do that.

no, wait. I could, but...

it's a pain to have to boot it up before a skype call - some earlier version would not record unless skype was loaded after AHP, for example.

I broke down and spent the whole $20 on ecamm's call recorded for skype plugin. http://www.ecamm.com/mac/callrecorder/

It works. Exceedingly well. Each side of the conversation gets recorded in to a separate channel. You can set the quality. It does video, and you can get each side of the video out as a separate vid file too.

And it's always on. I have it set to record automatically, but it'll throw it away if it's < 5 seconds. A little popup comes up with a red off button so I can stop recording on the boring calls, but by default, I'm recording.

I record most of my calls to customer service departments this way. "This call may be recorded for quality purposes" I take as them giving me permission to record the conversation, so I do.


WireTap Studio. I got it with one of those MacHeist or whatever bundles a few years back.
