Major Improvements in Audio Hijack 3.3
|
|
|
We also recently shipped Audio Hijack 3.3, another in a steady line of improvements to the award-winning Audio Hijack 3. We hope you already know Audio Hijack, but if not, it’s our tool for recording any audio on your Mac. Whether you’re starting a podcast or just want to save a streamed radio performance, Audio Hijack is a great addition to your toolkit.

The biggest change in Audio Hijack 3.3 is one we hope folks won’t even notice: simpler and safer recording for the AAC and Apple Lossless formats. We’ve improved things so that you’ll never lose audio when recording, even if your system crashes. In addition, we drastically reduced playback latency across the board (a must for podcasters), and added support for recording from Slack’s new Calls feature. Of course, there are many smaller improvements too, and we encourage all users to get the latest version now.

Updates to Audio Hijack’s Companion eBook
|
|
|
Audio expert Kirk McElhearn literally wrote the book on Audio Hijack. Last year, we worked with Kirk and the folks at TidBITS Publishing to create Take Control of Audio Hijack, a helpful companion to our beloved audio recording tool. The book was updated alongside the release of Audio Hijack 3.3, and it contains up-to-date information on the latest version.
