How to Record a Skype Video Interview in 7 Easy Steps. August 21, 2012 Blog, Interviews, Technology. Over the past few months, several people have asked me how to record their own. If they have a Mac, I usually just point them to Michael Hyatt’s excellent guide. Video interviews, or 'talking heads', are common in all types of videos, from documentaries and newscasts to marketing videos and customer testimonials. Producing a video interview is a straightforward process that you can complete with nearly any type of home video equipment.
In this video, I show you how to record a Skype podcast interview on two tracks in Adobe Audition without a mixer.

Update
In the video I mention that Ecamm Recorder does not record Skype conversation audio on separate tracks. My friend Darrell Darnell of Golden Spiral Media pointed out that this is not correct. According to Darrell:
“It records each voice to a pair of stereo tracks (me left and right + guest left and right). Then in Audition or Audacity I can easily eliminate my right channel and my guest’s left channel and then combine the remaining tracks into a stereo track (or leave them as separate mono tracks).”
Thanks for setting me straight Darrell.
