Aaron, Thanks for sharing your experience with Pamela. I haven’t used it myself, but I’ve heard a lot of people say great things about it!

Kevin,
I’m not sure. I’ve used Skype for quite a while (the free version), and I’ve never had a call dropped or bad sound quality unless one of the participants’ microphone or headphone had a problem. You might want to take note of what you’re doing, the equipment you’re using, and when the problem happens and contact Skype to see if they have any ideas as to why you keep having problems. There are some other voip providers, but I haven’t used those so I’m not sure how well they work.

While I love the idea of Skype, I have encountered numerous glitches such as frequent call drops and glitchy sound while trying to use it as an interview tool. As of yet, I haven’t found any good fixes for the problems, and many of my friends and family have experienced the same. Does anyone know of a way to make Skype more stable?

I always figured it was because I’m not a paying subscriber, but I never could bring myself to actually pay for a glitchy service.

Thanks Susan, I’ve never had a problem with Pamela (for audio) and have used it for quite a while now. It does what its supposed to do and works great.

C David, Thanks for sharing. I haven’t used Audio Hijack, but with your positive review and that great price tag, I definitely have to try it!

BA,
I think an in-line landline recorder would give you the best quality, but I get great quality from Call Recorder for Mac using Skype. As long as both participants have decent microphones, the quality is very good.

I have a question related to this article. I’m required to do interviews over the phone or over Skype for work, and the company would like to start recording these interviews (with consent, of course!). What will give us the highest quality? A Skype recorder? An in-line landline recorder? A cell phone hookup? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the article, Susan!

I suggest Audio Hijack, which is around $10 – and can be used to capture steaming music and just about any and every sound that passes through your computer. It’s an amazing little program.
