Thank you for your very clear tutorial. Tonight a group of fans who are celebrating their holiday in Greece will be able to join my sing-a-long in Amsterdam Netherlands through Skype using the tools you provided. Thank you so much!

@4chtern44m Thank you for the great words! I am very glad I was able to help you to celebrate your holiday via the Skype tutorial! :)

I have just followed your instructions (I have a G5 on OSX 10.4.11 using GB 3) and it worked (with a little bit of fiddling about.) I assume you're on a later version? But I followed your instructions and I could make it work. I've gotta say I have been a Macophile probably before you were born...and I've just got to commend you for what you've done. Keep it up!

[SupremeApps]

@Kellystig Oh wow I'm glad it worked out for you! And thank you very much, i really appreciate the kind words! :)

Hi, problem. Soundflower seems to install on my MacBook Air (10.7.2) and the icon appears in the finder toolbar once I launch it, but the drop down box says 'not installed!!!' and garageband doesn't recognize it. Any ideas why?

It worked for me, thanks! I really need it 'cause I take interviews more and more often through Skype. And if there are free programs for windows, somehow there aren't any free ones for Skype. I wonder why doesn't the Skype team simply make an built-in recorder?

For those of you who say you can't find 2ch sunflower, check if sunflower really IS installed. It could be only sunflowerbed. Whatever it is...

Sir, U said to do following settings.

GarageBand:

Audio output: Built in Audio

Audio Input: Soundflower (2ch)

yet I am facing problem. In garageband settings to change the settings of Audio Input I am getting only an option of built-in-input & I cant see the option of Soundflower 2ch.

I have downloaded soundflower & hv installed it as per your instructions sir,

In the same manner I cant even see soundflower in skype as well.

Pls guide
