I'm assuming you have: you in the "studio" guest one over skype guest two also over skype And you want to record three tracks. Very reasonable. The trouble is that if you use a single instance of skype both guests will come in on the same channel. Worse, skype will cut out guest one while guest two is talking and vice versa. The solution is to have two ...

Nothing is impossible. If it were absolutely necessary, depending on your available resources, you could use two computers with skype, both running into an audio interface, recording into your DAW. Then it's just a matter of sending back a submix of yourself + guest A to guest B and yourself + guest B to guest A. Cheers Blake

An XLR cable used with an adapter won't give you the audio quality that an all-XLR cable will. If audio quality is really important, I'd buy or borrow an external recorder that takes XLR cables directly. If this isn't an option, pick up an XLR to 1/8" adapter cable. I suggest taping the adapter to the camcorder so it doesn't move around much. (Mic cables ...

Phase inversion may help. Take a clean (no post-processing) mono vocal track and a clean mono instrument track. Invert the phase of one of them, and start playback. Listen closely while adjusting the relative playback positions of the tracks (offsetting a few samples at a time), to bring them closer to phase alignment. You may notice a slight improvement ...

Easiest way would be to get a small camera with HDMI output (like say, a GoPro HD Hero 2 or a Replay XD1080) and hook it up to a Livestream Broadcaster unit, which looks small enough (and is battery powered) to strap on to someone. The Livestream Broadcaster supports wi-fi, or even plugging a USB modem directly into it. There's also the Teradeck stuff if ...

Of course, it's much better to do a separate mix rather then using the FOH's, this way you can do whatever you want with the guitars if they're too silent in the main mix. As a hybrid solution, you can take e.g. 4 instead of 2 channels out of the FOH: the main mix plus two aux sends which you can use for only the instruments featured too weakly in the mix. ...

The artists are the most important, so your stereo mix from the board should be your primary source (I wouldn't use the FoH mic as a primary.) And no matter what the guitarists are doing on stage, get your board feeds in from each one mixed right at sound check, so that at worst case you can stream the artist live. For crowd mics, try and avoid getting any ...

Answer 3: Use XLR cables to get the audio from the PA to your camcorder. To convert the balanced PA signal to the line signal, take a passive DI-box (aka DI-unit). They are not expensive. You'll get a solid one for less than 50$ by Amazon. More info: DI-Units - Wikipedia DI-Boxes - Amazon.com

Yes, this is totally possible as long as you have the ability to do a key. You can either do a luma, chroma or alpha key. It's the same as when the weatherman does the weather, but you switch the sources. You would record whatever you wanted to be able to lay over top of the stream with either a dark background, a mono-color background, or a rotoscoped ...

I can't really say anything else beyond what Neil said...that's great info...but I'll throw this into the mix. If you're handy with electronics (or know someone who is), try making this adapter from off-the-shelf parts at Radio Shack.

Since you already have a computer, you could get an audio interface to attach to the computer and use Sony Vegas to record the audio. This will allow you to plug in both mics to the computer, record them on separate tracks, and edit the recordings from both mics individually using the software you already own.
