Hello there,

I'm currently using Audio Hijack Pro to record skype calls but I'm not happy with the sound quality vs using Pamela on my PC. Pamela is windows only. So I'm looking for other options to record Skype on a Mac OS X running Leopard. Any recommendations out there other than Audio Hijack Pro?

Thanks,

Alan

Paul and Tom do you have a sample of one your Skype recordings with Hijack? You can PM if you don't want to post it here. I'm curious to see how it records for you. And do you mind sharing your settings to record your Skype to Skype calls?

Thanks for the tip. I'll contact the rogue amoeba guys to see if they have any input.

Thanks

Thanks guys I'll download the ECAMM demo to check it out. Audio Hijack was $30 also very cheap. But it might have been user error that generated the poor sound quality.

They said to ensure it's under 25% CPU I was at 36-40%!

Now I know to shut everything down but Skype during my recording.

The fact they use Audio Hijack and their recording audio quality was spectacular proves to me that the problem wasn't Audio Hijack--it was me.

Thanks all! Next recording's audio quality should be a vast improvement.

  As I wrote in my OP, Pamela is not Mac compatible--Windows only. ;-)
  
  I'm squared away now with Audio Hijack and my settings.
