If you are a podcaster of into broadcast media of any kind then there will come a time when you want to record an interview via Skype or another online service. Most of us podcasters use a mixer of some kind. I use a Mackie 1202-VLZ4 right now in my podcast studio. I have always used Mackie mixers for podcasting and have nothing but great things to say about them. If you are using a mixer and going to record an interview then you will want to set up a mix minus. If you don't, then the person on the other end of Skype will get a loop back and hear their own voice and it will likely be delayed. This is extremely annoying and it is very hard to keep your train of thought, so get rid of the loop back with a mix minus.
Setting up a mix minus is very easy once you watch the above free tutorial video. I also provided you with adiagram (below) of how to set up a mix minus for your future reference. It is the same diagram I use in the video.
Simply put, you are sending the person on the other end of Skype your entire mix, minus their own voice using the "aux send" out port and turning the "aux" knob for that particular channel strip off on your mixer. Your mix includes your mic inputs, Skype/computer conversation input, and another device such as an iPad or computer for your music input if you like. You then run a 1//8 inch TRS to 1/4 inch TS cable from you mixer out of the "aux send" port back into the 1/8 inch TRS (3.5 mm input jack) on your computer. All you have to do then is turn the "aux" knob on the channel strip your Skype conversation is on counter-clockwise until it is off. Boom, you have a mix minus. If this doesn't make much sense I guarantee it will when you watch the video.
Griffin iMic PodcastAFFILIATE LINK: Many newer computers only come withe a 3.5mm headphone jack out and not a 3.5mm input jack and you will need both for a mix minus podcast interview. To accomplish this I suggest you purchase a Griffin iMic, which connects to your computer via USB and then has both a 3.5 mm output and input jack.
Minimum items you will need for a mix minus:
Computer/Skype
1/8 inch TRS to dual 1/4 inch TS cable (computer to mixer)(a second cable if you are going to hook up another input device such as and iPad for music)
1/8 inch TRS to 1/4 inch TS cable (mixer back to your computer via the "aux send" port)
Griffin iMic (if you computer doesn't have both a 3.5 mm output and input jack)
Additional:
I always record into an external recording device and I use the Roland R-05 Digital Recorder. I prefer this over recording back into another computer using Garage Band or Audacity. Some podcasters do it this way, but I explain in my complete "Learn to Podcast" video tutorial series why that may not be such a good idea.
