Rogue Amoeba - Under The Microscope

Easy Mixer

Sat, 19 Feb 2005

I was going to save showing this off until we were a bit closer to release, but here it is anyhow:

This is the new "Application Mixer" plugin for Audio Hijack Pro (and eventually Nicecast too). Application Mixer makes it simple to mix audio from multiple applications into a single recording.

This particular screenshot shows me recording Audio Line In, iTunes, iChat, all at once, into a single file.

Application Mixer works like the current VoiceOver effect we already have. You drop it into the effects patch, and it mixes its audio on top of the source audio. As well, since it resides in the patch, you can do per-application effects too. So it's real easy to do things like boosting the volume of Skype but not iTunes in a recording.

We decided to put Application Mixer together based on feedback from the last podcast post. It seemed that the biggest podcasting stumbling block people are having is getting all their audio sources mixed together. Hopefully Application Mixer will settle that problem. Stay tuned for more.

I hope your online store can handle the volume of sales you all are going to be getting. Thanks for this.

This will be a nice (Nicecast) touch when you add it. Classic

I was hoping this option could be possible. Looking forward to the update. I'm looking forward to creating my own show, period.

Wow! Too Cool! Might there be perhaps a very small player app we could use with this as a cart function?

You have tapped into the great audio subconcious and created the "new stereo". Good call, but wheres the preorder button?

Can't wait to get this thing going with Nicecast! I was just asking about something like this earlier today.

Everyone: As noted, we don't have a release date for this, but hopefully it'll be in the next few weeks (and almost certainly by the end of April).

Lee: Sure - it's called "QuickTime Player" 8).

Loopy: You can purchase Audio Hijack Pro currently. This addition will be part of the forthcoming 2.5 update, which will be free for registered users of AH Pro 2.

this looks pretty cool-will we be able to use ichat-voice easily with on-air nicecast broadcasts using that to do on-air interviews(and without the whole skype-soundflower thing) ?

Ahhhhh, Thank YOU Rogue Amoeba! Finally one of the features we most asked. Another great thing would be if you offer the possibility of "dual" streaming, you know? For transcoding purposes.

Anyway, thanks again.
