Audio Hijack

When it comes to products of rogueamoeba, I never think twice before upgrading. This company has always developed handy applications that I use in my daily work and am extremely pleased with their performance. I’ve found the new Audio Hijack very intuitive and its performance has improved by leaps and bounds. Recording is now a breeze with the new presets of its main functions and meets many users’ needs without further tweaking. Last but not least, the dreaded icon of its precious version has been modified into an elegant icon that makes it more feasible. This is surely one of the best upgrades I’ve ever seen and highly recommend it. Fariborz AMIRSHAHI – Verona (Italy)

When Nicecast ended, Audio Hijack was recommended and so I bought it. I just assumed it would work like Nicecast but it doesn't and you'll need a separate streaming app to share your broadcasts. I'm frankly disappointed and feel a bit misled. I'm now using Audiomovers because it's simple like Nicecast was and works right out of the box.

An audio capture app that doesn't capture audio. For whatever reason it just doesn't work on my mac. Well, it worked once. Now it won't record anything after setting up a new session and pressing the record button. I updated it, rebooted, followed their quite simple tutorial. Nothing.

Does Audio Hijack no longer allow Quick Time Player 10.5 to play DRM files?

I would give 5 stars if the UI was less flashy and full of unnecessary animations.

Very good! I use it a lot.

Audio Hikack is a very useful tool to record audio from almost any source. The interface is strange and you need a while to learn to use it. The big minus point is the price. This is really far too high for what it does. Therefore I can't really recommend this. Unfortunately there are no good alternatives. Someone?

3.5.5 Keeps asking for helper permission to change how it works. It is so annoying, I had to delete it. I still use the older version in High Sierra. It is so much more intuitive. I am so sorry, I just don't need a new learning curve to add to my stress level.

They were nice enough to send me a beta copy of AH for Mojave awhile back when I wrote to find out about its progress. It's worked just fine on all the Mojave public betas I've used.

Works as advertised. A bit too expensive though.

I love this app.

Will it record streaming audio as individual .mp3 files? Or will it save the entire stream as a single file?

With macOS10.13.3 this introduces gaps and audio glitches in the audio. Also, this app is overly too complicated to set up.

A bit overpriced imo

The new version requires a small learning curve for those used to working with the original UI, but this remains the best App. of it's kind. Solid customer support from one of the highest-rated developers out there.

It records anything and everything that I through at it. Great. Just a pity that it doesn't incorporate Loopback all together in just one app (and a more reasonable price) because it is the logical route.

Aweful GUI but it does work as advertised. I really do not understand why this needs a 'complex' GUI. A simple OSX-like GUI would do the job too and much easier to use. Still a solid 4 stars though.

Handy tool for recording anything that is playing in realtime. One bug that is present from v3.0 is that it sometimes creates high frequency peaks. More or less sounds like crackles. I tried everything to get rid of this: doing nothing else then recording, preventing OSX goes to sleep, close applications that could interfere, .. helas, it keeps creeping in. Maybe it is a 10.11 only problem, not sure. If the devs could resolve this, it would make this an essential tool for me.
