Use one of these techniques to install node and npm without having to sudo. Discussed in more detail at http://joyeur.com/2010/12/10/installing-node-and-npm/ Note: npm >=0.3 is *safer* when using sudo.
echo 'export PATH=$HOME/local/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
. ~/.bashrc
mkdir ~/local
mkdir ~/node-latest-install
cd ~/node-latest-install
curl http://nodejs.org/dist/node-latest.tar.gz | tar xz --strip-components=1
./configure --prefix=~/local
make install # ok, fine, this step probably takes more than 30 seconds...
curl https://www.npmjs.org/install.sh | sh

Learn Lua quickly with this short yet comprehensive and friendly script. It's written as both an introduction and a quick reference. It's also a valid Lua script so you can verify that the code does what it says, and learn more by modifying and running this script in your Lua interpreter.

A tutorial on how to record a Skype call in Logic Pro X (or your DAW) on a Mac for free and without any additional hardware.

Use case and assumptions

  • You want to record a Skype call with separate tracks for you and your guest in Logic Pro X (or another DAW) on a Mac without any additional hardware
  • You are willing to use and modify open source software to do it free (there are payed alternatives like https://www.rogueamoeba.com/loopback/)
  • You will end up having a virtual aggregated sound device, that contains the original soundcard you are using plus 2 virtual channels to send and receive Skype audio
  • This tutorial will help you to perform the setup for recording a 1:1 dialogue in Skype on separate tracks. If you want to record several participants you will need to adjust the setup

Prerequisits

Soundflower is no software from an Apple authorized vendor, so you might need to adjust your system preferences, to be able to install software from third party vendors. Here's how to do that: https://www.tekrevue.com/tip/gatekeeper-macos-sierra/
