That's why she had no trouble at all hearing me but I'm talking in a dead quiet room. I'm more than even sure now that the Skype machine was sending my built-in microphone instead of the mixer FX Send. They listen to the whole show minus their voice. What you do there is bring up all the FX Send knobs except the strip with their voice. But the far side is listening to FX Send. The main mix is The Whole Show, Everything and that's what I listen to and that's what goes to recording or in their case out to the streaming server.

Do you see knobs in the sound strips called "FX Send?" That's if you want to send your voice out to, for example, an echo generator and then bring it back into the mixer. Mixers actually have more than one output. I did a signal diagram here somewhere and I can't find it. Newer Macs don't do that any more, but I don't need the separate interfaces you do.

I intentionally bought a new, but older design MacBook Pro in order to get Analog Stereo Out and Analog Stereo In. There are some hidden items in that illustration. We patterned it after a radio show since we're both actual broadcasters. I think she said she was ironing shirts.īut that's probably the effect you're after. She's just talking in the general direction of her MacBook Air. Her distortion is from her not using headphones. This is also first pass, so none of the theatrical timings worked.

We did have a completely stupid (and solvable) routing problem with the music, but because the system doesn't have to do pumpy echo cancellation, she sounds like she's in the room with me. I did it this way to avoid sending my partner's voice back to herself (as it happens, in another state) as an echo. In the illustration, the machine on the left is recording the composite show and playing music into the mixer thus using up it's one set of Play/Record. The computer only has one play channel, so you can't play Skype on channel one and music on channel two. The much more complex solution is use two computers (widen your screen view to get them both in). The overly simplistic solution is put the stingers, bumpers, music beds and themes into the show in post production since you're doing post anyway to put the two talents together. Thank you for any help you can send my way. Is there something I can do on Audacity or Skype or even my own recording hardware to keep it that way? What I'd like is to have my voice track only pick up my voice and the sound effects from my computer, but not the voice of my partner. My podcast partner lives in another state, so we record our own isolated voice tracks and combine them into audacity in post-production. The problem is that when I push the 2-track to Mix button, Audacity also picks up the voice of the person I'm talking to on skype. When I press the "2-track to mix" button on my podcastudio equipment, Audacity picks up the sound as well as my voice. I wanted put some sound effects in during podcast episodes, and this thing is great. I recently got some sound board freeware called SoundPlant that allows me to map sound effects, voice clips, and music to keys to play at any time. This is a specific question, but I wanted to see if other podcasters or audio people in general had some advice.
