Yesterday 6AM<\/em><\/strong> – I wake my son. He wanted to ask me something about headphones, so he left me a note the night before.<\/p>\n

He is writing a paper in college about a piece of music. He had arranged to interview a performer who had recorded that piece of music. Pretty clever idea, something I never did in college.<\/p>\n

He is going to do the interview over Skype – also pretty clever as I won’t have to pay for a long, long-distance call. He is struggling to find a way to record the conversation so he writes accurately what the performer says. Somehow a headphone splitter was one solution?<\/p>\n

We find a Skype recorder online. It costs $15, but has a free 7-day trial. We download it. We need to test it. He runs upstairs to my iMac, installs Skype on it, and we test Skype and the Skype recorder.<\/p>\n
