In reply to Cory. I'm curious about a headphone output as well. It would be nice to hear exactly what is being recorded through a pair of headphones.

Thanks for the tutorial! I have used this similar setup but my question is if it is possible to be able to hear yourself in your headphones? I would like to do so to ensure my volume is the same as my guest. Is there a modification that can be done to this setup to allow that?

Great video!

Quick question- does having 3 people in a Skype conference call make any difference to the sound quality? (2 remote guests, 1 host.) I’m guessing you could only adjust the voices you hear as one output, correct?

Hi Matthew, great little tutorial! It’s helped me understand a bit better than others!

I am however still stumped somewhat… I use a Behringer 1202fx with a U-CONTROL UCA222 audio interface and am looking at doing some pods over Skype. I will be using my computer to not only run skype through but also record through… more than likely Spreaker Studio… am I best using the 1/4 to 3.5mm cables or the 3.5mm jack to 2 x RCA cables, or one of each or both? as it seems I can do away with the interface, or is the interface still needed?

Thanks,

Adam

Greetings Matt,

I purchased a Yamaha MG10XU usb mixer. I haven’t been able to find the best way to set up a mix minus on this board while still using the usb into my MacBook Pro. Can you shed some light here?
Thank you.

I use Spreaker as my recording software to do my podcast. In your example of how to set up a mix minus, you said that the mixer (Alesis multimix8 USB) should be selected as the software’s “mic input;” what should be selected as the “output source?”

In reply to Victor. Hi Victor. Slightly different setup but you can definitely record Skype calls on your 18i8. Will need to get a tutorial done on this when I get a chance.

Hi Matthew:
Nice tutorial!
Can I accomplish this with a Focusrite 18i8?
Or would I still need a mixer also?
