Click this box and choose your audio input device. It likely has a yellow warning on it like the screenshot above.

You'll need to change a few things unless your system is exactly like mine. The first thing to change is your input device (aka your Microphone).

Go to Session > New Session to create an audio session that looks like this (or simply download our sample session!).

If your computer can't keep up due to CPU or disk demands, you may encounter skips in your audio. In here, set the 'Audio Processing' section to 'Lower Latency.' You'll note the other, default end of the slider is labeled 'More Reliable.' That's because lowering the latency involves reducing the time the computer has to process everything and get it sent back out to your speakers or headphones.

Launch Audio Hijack and open Audio Hijack > Preferences.

Next week we'll utilize Loopback to add theme music. At the end we'll add in some additional things like noise gates, levels and compressors. This assumes you're recording a podcast with someone over Skype. To put this into context I've included a sample workflow here. The new 'Audio Processing' preference in Audio Hijack 3.3 allows you to perfectly tweaks these buffers with a simple preference slider. Some USB mics have a 'zero latency monitoring' feature, but using it means you won't hear what's actually being recorded, and that can lead to some very disappointing recordings if something goes awry in your process. With Audio Hijack 3, Rogue Amoeba completely reworked the interface from Audio Hijack Pro, making the app simpler and even more flexible at the expense of losing the ability to monitor our recordings without hearing ourselves on delay, or with 'low latency.'

This is particularly useful for podcasters, as it allows them to record 'live-to-tape' while hearing exactly what their listeners will hear.Īudio Hijack Pro users will recall being able to accomplish this by tweaking the audio device buffers. Many bug fixes have been applied to the hijacker.Rogue Amoeba added a (previously-hidden) preference to Audio Hijack 3.3 that allows users to monitor themselves with no perceptible delay while recording.

Specifically, recordings are automatically split if they reach 2 GB in size or 24 hours in length. Audio Hijack Pro's auto-split settings have been reverted to those used in 2.10.0 and before. A bug where Audio Hijack Pro could inadvertently create hundreds of files on long recordings has been corrected. The LAME MP3 recording engine has been updated to 3.98.4. A regression which affected audio capture from older versions of Skype (specifically, Skype 2.x) has been corrected.

Instant On has been updated to version 5.0.2, with full support for capturing audio from sandboxed applications from the Mac App Store and other sources. Many bug fixes have been applied to the hijacker. Overall though, Audio Hijack Pro lets you record and enhance sounds from any application really quickly. You can create your own but I found Audio Hijack does not let you save them for future use. I did find the process of inserting effects a little confusing, and you really need to connect them correctly to get what you are looking for.Īudio Hijack Pro comes with some preset formats to save your audio. There really is a wide selection of effects to choose from, 60 in all, and you can add more.

Audio Hijack Pro also lets you enter metadata, although it all has to be done manually (I didn't see an import feature), which is a little tedious. You can schedule automatic recording at precise days and hours of the week for each application.
