Q: How do I record a Skype call on a macintosh

A: Great question. First one thing you always want to do when recording conversations whether on or off the phone is to get the host and the guest recorded onto separate tracks so you change volume and possibly add eq and dynamic filters to one person without changing the sound and volume of the other person.

All you need is a $14.95 application called Call Recorder from Ecamm Network,

I just purchased this and will shortly put up a screencast showing how easy it is to work with AND it can record onto individual tracks.
