Recorded Telephony Call - Smooth Ride

I thoroughly enjoyed this task.  I tried to use VAC and Audacity first, having some success calling the Skype Test Call Lady (she's so patient and "there" if no one else is online).  Unfortunately her voice was not recording loud enough and I could not figure out how to make her louder.  My USB Mic is not due in the country until 5 August so I've been using a Mic and Headset but with two separate jacks.  Not entirely sure if that's the problem.  I had already downloaded powergramo
so I thought I would give that a go and call Skype Test Call Lady again.  And it worked!  Absolutely perfect levels - everything spot on!  So a quick email to Jason and we organised our skype call for Sunday night.  It was a real smooth ride.
PS:  Vegemite really comes from New Zealand - so does the Pavalova but don't tell Jason!
