Is there an app or plugin for Skype to record a conversation?

Or can you use an audio application like Sonar or Sony Vegas Studio to do this?

You can use Audacity, and select the "Wave Out Mix" for the audio input. This should record your Skype call.

The MP3 files can be edited using Audacity.

I've not yet tried it but there are some applications that you can use to record from audio stream sources. Call Graph is one of these apps.

Some other inexpensive apps - Hotrecorder, Pamela, Freecorder

My Screen Recorder is one of the many programs that can record audio. You can also use it to record video should you do a video call or share desktops.

Build your own Skype Recorder

This PDF document titled has instructions to building your own Skype recording studio using Windows Sound Recorder and Virtual Audio Cable, a Windows WDM multimedia driver. The author uses this to record Podcasts using Skype. You can also use this approach with Audacity or Adobe Audition for recording and editing the quality of voice. VAC needs no audio card; it is a "virtual audio card" itself. You need two instances of Skype running on the same computer.
