Audio Hijack Pro updated! Easily Records Skype, Gizmo or iChat Conversations!

by @ 11:57 am.  Filed under Technology

As most of you know, I have a podcast called Searching the Internet: Practical advice and tips on searching the Internet. It covers using various Internet sites to find the information you need. I haven’t done any interviews on my podcast because getting them to record correctly was somewhat of a pain until now.

Rogue Amoeba (I love that name and their “mascot”) has updated Audio Hijack Pro (AHP) to version 2.7 and has made it very simple and easy to record any VOIP client including Skype Gizmo, and iChat. This is something I had been wanting in AHP for a while now and maybe I’ll now try to do some interviews.

Their weblog (entry for July 31, 2006) has the instructions:

And so, for v2.7, we’ve simplified it down to the following:

Step 1. Create a new session for iChat, Skype, or Gizmo Project
Step 2. Click Record

Not only is there no Step 3, there isn’t even a joke “There’s no Step 3″ step. Make your session, hit Record, and it just works.

They also make it possible to record each end of the conversations on separate tracks! This is especially useful if you have someone who’s voice isn’t loud enough and you need to do some manipulation in post-production. You can easily increase the volume of just one side of the conversation.

Go read their weblog, it has a nice visual tutorial on using Audio Hijack Pro v2.7.

I should note that this can be used for so much more than just podcasting. If you need to capture audio and you use a Mac, this software is for you!

I must say, I’m a very happy user. Also, the price is more than reasonable for software that works this well ($32; or $10 upgrade from Audio Hijack). Version 2.7 is a free upgrade to anyone who has v2.x.
