It's free to record Skype conversations on mobile. Would I recommend it? Yes, but with certain conditions. Listen to my latest episode to explore my reasons.
Special thanks to my son, Rohan for helping me test.
PRODUCTION NOTES
I used a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 phone to record, edit and publish this episode.
My son used a Windows 10 Laptop
Recording location: I was in my front room. My son was in his bedroom. We were on the same wifi network.
My headset and mic: Bose QuietComfort 25
My son's headset and mic: Microsoft LifeChat LX 6000 Headset
Recording app: Skype on Android
Recording format: mp4 (even though we turned video off and had an audio only call)
Bit rate: 64 kbps
Editing app: Auphonic Edit for Android.
Sound Treatment: Auphonic Productions at Auphonic.com
Auphonic.com settings [to output as a 16bit mono WAV file]: Adaptive Leveler (on), Loudness Normalization (Loudness Target -19 LUFS ), Filtering (on), Noise and Hum Reduction (Reduction Amount: Auto)
I uploaded the resulting WAV file to Anchor.fm to host the file and added the music from their free music stock.
Anchor automatically converts the WAV file into a 128kbps .m4a file
