Q:My voice is too low on the recording

Q: Which Recording settings on the application will give the best, highest quality audio?
Q: I'm having echo on the recording.
A: Echo is caused by "sound leaking". Your microphone is capturing speakers sound and it is recorded again in the other channel but with tiny delay.
Using headphones is simplest solution. All radio shows are recorded in headphones for the same reason.
Q: Will Skype recorder work automatically for inbound calls as well as outbound calls? When I make a call and the recorder launches I always worried whether it is recording or not. It would be great if there was some "Green Light" that displayed to reassure me that the recorder is recording. Otherwise, how can I know?

Bug fixes:

Q: Only once side of conversation get recorded
A:Make sure that you are using the latest recorder version
Make sure that both speakers are working and are on the same level. The recording is stereo - your voice in the left speaker, the person you speaking with in the right.
Alternatively you can switch to MONO mode in recorder.
