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.

    In a nutshell: This solution only works if you have specific hardware/driver features in your soundcard. Long story: You need a soundcard that allows you to route the microphone and speakers through one recording device. Not all soundcards are able to do this. Even if you can route the microphone and speakers correctly the soundcard drivers may then prevent you from opening the input to record from. So ya... hardware/driver dependent solution.

  • yes but the problem is that you will not record your own voice unless you playback your microphone through your speakers.

Call Graph (here) is one of these apps.

Some other inexpensive apps - Hotrecorder, Pamela, Freecorder

Call Graph, which is also free, works fine, and it even saves a dual-channel recording if you set recording as stereo (wave or mp3).

Call Graph Configuration

Then, you can split and then edit, save or just hear separately each of the channel (ideal for an interview and other purposes where the two voices may overlap and need to be separated) if you open it in Audacity and then split the stereo track.

Another program worth mentioning that does Skype recording is vEmotion. The program also works for other VoIP clients and provides music sharing, text-to-speech, voice emotion functions beside recording.

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.
