“In a previous article we described everything that you
need to know about recording voice tracks. In this article by
Bethany Hiitola, author of Getting started with Audacity 1.3, we
will learn all the details of using third-party internet telephony
software such as Skype to record telephone interviews. We will also
cover how to set up a timed recording.

“Recording an interview with Skype

“If you are interested in doing more than solo podcasts with
Audacity, you can always try creating interview podcasts. You can
