I currently use a Blue Snowball but any halfway decent USB microphone should work for you. Possibly an Audio Hijack Pro update, but I never even use that. Microphone -> Audio Hijack Pro -> Soundflower -> Skype -> Audio Hijack Pro (This is not a mistake, I use Audio Hijack Pro twice in the overall flow.) Microphone. Not sure what else I may have installed since then that would have done that. That is the only thing I can think of that would have changed my sound. So, good program + good service = 5 star rating for me. I recently recorded something streaming with Snapz Pro X. He was supportive, and I got the sense that he really takes time to help his customers. He stayed with me, and whereas the solution turned out to be as simple as turning off a checkbox on the troubling program, I didn't feel belittled for not knowing better. Rumor has it that the folks that created WireTap Pro made another program that does the same thing called Audio Hijack, which does the job very well. Yesterday, the developer took a reasonable amount of time to help me solve a long-standing problem I've had with trying to capture audio from a particularly troubling program.

If there's a problem with a program or its interaction with other programs, then that is part of how well the program works and if the customer service is lacking, then that will also end up being a part of how well the program works. Although I know that MU fans often admonish reviewers for using customer service as part of the review and rating, I think it's an important part of the overall experience.

Moreover, though, the customer service is superb. It's notable that any programs that used to be competitive have simply ceased development or haven't been able to keep up. To do that we go to the Effects tab and choose Auxiliary Device Output from the 4FX menu. Its not a replacement for Audio HiJack, but would allow you to use Logic to record anything flowing through the system. Next, we use Audio HiJack Pro to send that audio to Soundflower (free).

I've gotten used to the interface - indeed, it has many advantages - and really, AH is simply the best game in town. Soundflower is a virtual bussing system you can download for free which should do what you want.
