This program comes highly recommended from Norbert, host of the Norbtek.info Podcast. "PodProducer is a really cool program in its own right for producing podcasts (not editing thought). I configured it for "What you hear" and then went into the Windows "Record/Playback" Control panel and configured it in the record mode to use "what you hear" as well. My MP3 file does a step by step on what to do, check it out. I also use an old MP3 with line-in recording capabilities as a backup hooked to a splitter cable on the headphones. I tested the system a few times by calling my own home and mock interviewing my wife so I could set the volume levels as I wanted the Skype level higher and my level a bit lower to sound equal. 2 or 3 tests and things were pretty close. I could have worked a bit more on it, but everything was clear. A good Skype connection is critical for a good recording."

Save time and money as Virtual PC allows you to maintain the compatibility of legacy and custom applications during migration to new operating systems and increases the efficiency of support, development, and training staffs. With Microsoft® Virtual PC 2007, you can create and run one or more virtual machines, each with its own operating system, on a single computer. This provides you with the flexibility to use different operating systems on one physical computer. For more information about the ways you can use virtual machines, see Virtual PC at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=78095.
