And we can all hear each other without echo or delay. Recording two podcast hosts via the Mbox 3m and recording a Skype caller simultaneously. Hopefully that won't break the camel's back. And next I'm going to add another sound input - from Soundboard or some kind of sound cue software. How do I control the gain of the hijacked Protools audio? Is there a plugin in Hijack that will do this?īut anyway, at least I have a working configuration. Anyone know if this is possible?Īnother question: the Hijacked Protools Mic came in too hot. I noticed that HiJack actually has some plugins called WireTap Anywhere. My other big question is whether I need WireTap Anywhere or if I can do this all in HiJack. But maybe Hijack has an Effects plug-in that would make a better mixer. And Audio Hijack has a small, rinky-dink meter (without numbers or anything). I was able to ballpark it by turning down the call volume on the Skype window.

One big question mark I have is how I can better control the levels of the Skype caller. And no hiccups whatsoever although that is kind of risky. This time, I taxed my computer even more by simultaneously recording with Audio Hijack *and* Protools. Thank you Avid for making your hardware/software more open lately. Ok, I did a few more tests and definitely made more progress! It's working! I'm not sure if this is the best way to do this, but it's what I've been able to do so far. One problem, however, was a hum or buzz in the track.

It sounds "ok", though there are some level adjustments I need to make. One one channel was the Skype caller and the other channel was my microphone input coming into Protools via MBox. Then I started a SKype call and hit record on Audio HiJack. In Audio HiJack, I hijacked the 2nd Wiretap Anywhere interface (the one with Protools + Skype audio) and I made the input that same interface. In SKype: under Audio, I made the Input the "Protools" audio interface I created with Wiretap. And I routed the Skype audio to the Right channel of the interface.

And i created an interface that routed the Pro Tools audio to the Left channel of the interface. I created an interface for the ProTools audio.
MIX MINUS AUDIO HIJACK HOW TO
It seems I can't send Avid MBox audio to another application without having ProTools open, unless there's something i don't know how to do. I did make some progress with this, using both WireTap Anywhere and Audio Hijack Pro. Here are two forum posts where Skype recording was addressed to a degree:
MIX MINUS AUDIO HIJACK SOFTWARE
If I'm going to record this thing using software only (plus the Mbox 3) I think the less software programs running, the better. I'd like to see if I can avoid having to use extra Skype recording software or extra hardware to make this happen. Ok, I have a feeling that's flawed as well. And then Protools is also getting an input from the system out?

Step 3B) Could ProTools have an input source for one track be the Skype caller's out? So, ProTools is getting 2 mic tracks via the MBox. (But that might create some delay or loop issues?) Now Protools is getting the sound of the Skype caller as well as the two mics. Route that S/PDIF out into the S/PDIF IN on my Mbox.
MIX MINUS AUDIO HIJACK MAC
Now the caller can hear us.ģ) Configure the Skype out to be the Mac Pro's S/PDIF out. Here's one theory I have, but I have a feeling it's flawed:ġ) Connect my 2 XLR mics into the MBOX (does it matter if only one requires phantom?).Ģ) Configure Skype to get its Input from the Mbox (if possible?). And during the recording all three parties need to be able to hear one another.įor the 2 hosts, I have one dynamic mic and one condenser mic (the latter requiring phantom power).ĭo you have any advice on how to best set this up? Record a podcast with 2 hosts and 1 Skype caller. (I'm a new user of this Mbox so I'm not familiar with all of its capabilities). I have a Mac Pro and Mbox 3 with PT LE 8.0.4 and was wondering if anyone has any advice about my set-up.
