However, I prefer my method above so I can have each side of the conversation recorded into its own separate file instead. You can then split the stereo into two mono tracks for editing purposes.
Keep in mind this method will not sound like a studio recording it’s obviously phone tape, but it sounds much better once you play around with EQ or a filter in your editing program. Here’s a snippet of the raw recording I made of my interview subject talking on her mobile phone through FaceTime on my computer. On that window, the Actions button will let you reveal the file in the Finder or edit it in Pro Tools or whatever other DAW you select under Audio Hijack > Preferences. The recorded files can be accessed from the Recordings button at the bottom right. When you’re finished, you can hang up in FaceTime and hit the red button again to stop recording the session. This will start recording the output from FaceTime into one file and the input from your mic into another one. Return to Audio Hijack and click the red record button at the bottom left. You should be able to hear your subject talking through your headphones and they should be able to hear you through your USB mic. Once you’ve set up Audio Hijack, go back to FaceTime, type in the phone number you want to call and hit return. If you’re hearing a delayed echo of yourself in your headphones, go to Audio Hijack > Preferences and set the Audio Processing section to “Lower Latency.” You can also add a 10-band EQ component, a Low Pass Filter or other effects from under Built-In Effects. Move it to the side of both input device lines so that both inputs pass into it (meaning you can hear both your audio and theirs in your headphones). Go ahead and add another Meter if you like, and finally another Recorder component so that your voice is recorded into a separate file from your interview subject’s recording.Īdd an Output Device (from Outputs), click on it for settings and choose your external headphones.

In Audio Hijack, you drag components from the right-hand menu bar and drop them into the workspace move them around like building blocks to create the recording process of your choice. Once you’ve done that, plug in your USB mic and in FaceTime go to the Video menu under Microphone select the name of your USB mic and under Output choose your External Headphones.
