Is there a way to split Skype audio into two streams for recording higher quality podcasts?

I do podcasts where I interview others over Skype. I have been using Audio Hijack to collect the Skype stream and then use Garage Band or Logic to construct the pocast. My audio quality has been variable (sometimes good and sometimes bad.) The biggest problem has been a volume differential between the outgoing Skype stream (me) and the incoming stream (my guest.)

is there a way to record the outgoing and incoming Skype signal into separate streams so that I can modulate the volumes separately?

You will, more then likely, require an audio mixer to achieve this functionality.

Basically..

Your mic to the mixer to the computer.
The computer to the mixer.
The mixer to your recording device/computer.

You can naturally buy a hardware solution which will be quite expensive.
There are also multiple software applications that will allow you to achieve this.
