Using the Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 USB audio interface*, you can record Skype using several different methods to include a backup recording for redundancy.
This tutorial is designed for someone who already has the Focusrite 2i4 and is looking for ways to use it to record Skype. That's because, if you didn't have any gear yet, my recommendation would likely be to use a mix-minus setup with a traditional mixing board.
Or, perhaps I would suggest moving up to the Focusrite 6i6 so that you could use the included mixing software which would give you more flexible routing options like the kind you'd get from the appropriate mixer. The Mix Control software that comes with the 6i6 lets you create a real mix-minus.
So if you already have a 2i4 there's no need to buy any new gear.
This tutorial will show you the various ways to use the 2i4 to record Skype either to Skype specific recording software, a DAW (audio editing software), and/or an audio recorder.
