The Broadcast block now offers presets for MP3 and AAC streaming, as well as fully customizable setups via the powerful new advanced encoding options. A rare issue where crackly AAC streaming could occur due to sample rate issues has been corrected.

When a server issue occurs after the successful start of a stream, the Broadcast block will re-try its connection for up to 10 minutes. The Broadcast block now properly supports fully manual track title information in addition to automatic track titles pulled from supported sources. When album artwork data is available, the Broadcast block now properly sends it to Shoutcast 2 servers. Shoutcast 1 and Icecast 2 servers don’t support album artwork. Existing setups will be switched to a fixed server type; users should verify this change.

Audio Hijack now offers a brand-new Broadcast output block. Audio Hijack also has a new Input Switch block, which allows you to toggle between two different audio sources with a quick click. Audio Hijack now works around device visibility issues caused by incorrect behavior seen in apps such Boom. ACE has been updated to version 9. Instant On has been updated to version 8. Application audio capture will now always occur at the correct sample rate, rather than incorrectly defaulting to Audio capture now works as expected when a device with very high sample rates above kHz is in use.

Enhancements: Important improvements have been made to improve the way Audio Hijack behaves for VoiceOver users. Multiple improvements have been made to timers, as part of a never-ending quest to ensure their reliability.

Audio Hijack now has extremely preliminary compatibility with MacOS We still recommend users stick with a fully supported version of MacOS for now. This version temporarily reverts an update to the audio capture backend which was part of Audio Hijack 3. The updated capture method requires a bit more time and testing. Schedule Helper has been updated to version 2. The audio capture backend has been updated to be more robust, and this new style capture is now used by default when Instant On is installed.

Users shouldn’t notice any changes. Audio Hijack now reopens windows on the correct screen when multiple screens are connected to your Mac. We’ve corrected an issue where deleting blocks on MacOS Due to changes in iTunes Major Enhancement: Instant On has been updated to version 8. Timer conflict detection has been revised and no longer incorrectly identifies conflicts between unrelated Sessions.

The new. Major Enhancement: Capturing audio from the Slack application is now fully supported when Instant On is installed. Major Enhancement: The Instant On component has been updated to version 8. The Menu Bar Meters block now has proper Retina art in the menu bar.

Our long, blurry nightmare is finally over. As well, the desired meter type is now correctly saved. Files in the Recordings tab can now be right-clicked to access a contextual menu, offering controls for manipulating the recording.

The Schedule area of the Home window will now visually indicate when conflicts exist between timers. The Time Shift block has been improved in several ways, fixing a display issue with large jumps, providing a better VoiceOver value, and improving the explanatory text. Presets for several blocks have been improved to save additional settings, including saving album art as part of Recorder block presets, saving all settings in the Application source block, and saving the specified channels in an Output block.

A selected item in the Recordings area will now collapse if multiple files are selected. As well, Recordings and Timers in the Schedule tab will toggle between expanded and collapsed when clicked, as well as with the left and right arrow keys. Audio Hijack can convert. To access the conversion option, right-click the file in the Recordings area. VoiceOver improvements! The display of app names for background processes accessible by holding option while clicking the Source select in an Application block has been improved.

A recursion where tokens in Recorder fields could refer back to one another and cause an infinite loop has been fixed. An issue where incompletely loaded windows could appear when importing a Session has been corrected. Recorder fields can now have variable tokens inserted via the contextual menu, which should be particularly helpful for VoiceOver users.

We’ve fixed audio playback off all files in the Recording tab. Previously, some files played at double speed, and that was weird! A rare bug where number fields in the Recorder block could become empty, leading to an exception, has been fixed.

Major Enhancement: Instant On 8. On Mac OS X An issue where Audio Hijack could prevent system idle sleep after a timer recording has been fixed. Holding the shift key during launch now prevents session windows from re-opening.

Holding the shift key when opening a session now prevents popovers from re-opening. Audio Units are now reset on session start. Audio Units are now uninitialized and then re-initialized when their sample rate is changed on session start.

This works around a known issue with SonarWorks AU. While the app will perform better overall, we expect that these changes will generally not be noticeable to users, but the app will perform better over all! Several additional VoiceOver improvements have been made to the Source menu found in Application Blocks. Shift-Space and Option-Space are now equivalent to option-clicking the menu, to reveal background sources, and the title of the Source menu is now properly read when tabbing to it.

Thanks to all our VoiceOver users for their feedback! Audio Hijack now better handles missing audio devices, useful when devices are unplugged, and when Sessions are imported from another machine. In short, this leads things to behave logically and as expected. When clicked, pinned popovers no longer bring forward their session if Audio Hijack is in the foreground , nor other Audio Hijack windows if Audio Hijack is in the background.

Its popover now offers controls for 3, 10, and 30 second jumps. Better still, you can now access Time Shift from within any application, with global keyboard shortcuts. Share Sessions with friends via the Session menu. Export your own Sessions to share, or import Sessions from others!

Major Enhancement: The new Sync Block lets you add a precise delay to the audio, of up to ms 1 second , per Block.

The “Session Name” and “File Counter” variables are once again supported, for use in file names and metadata. Popover positions, as well as torn-off and pinned states, are now remembered and restored between launches. The Block library has been updated with a new Advanced section, and the Meters section has been moved up.

Error messages for recording issues have been improved. We don’t expect that you’ll ever see those anyway, though. Improvements to the scheduler to handle rare edge cases will provide even more reliable timed recording. When editing a tag in the Recordings tab, the tag will now be saved correctly even if action is taken while the tag is still in focus.

Repeating Timer descriptions now display days of week in the same order as the actual day of week buttons. It was pretty goofy that this wasn’t always the case. Enhancement: Instant On 8. Additional fixes for high-sample rate devices mean unwanted noise will be eliminated for all types of audio capture.

Tweak: Keyboard shortcuts in Session window now work when full keyboard access or VoiceOver is used to navigate to the LCD or lower toolbar buttons. Remove silence, start a new recording based on it, or end your recording entirely. It will also attempt to automatically correct any Sessions which used Volume Overdrive to work around the auto-ducking.

Major Enhancement: Audio Hijack is now smarter in dealing with missing and re-appearing audio devices. In addition, when a device is not plugged in, Audio Hijack will alert you so you can adjust your settings. Previously, Audio Hijack could simply fail to capture audio, and that was far from ideal.

We recommend our own editor Fission , of course, but any editor may be chosen. Option-click to reset this preference. Keyboard control has been expanded for quick access to important recording controls. Turn off all Recordings in a Session with Commmand-K. Pause all Recordings with Command-B. Split all Recordings with Command-T. Several minor cosmetic improvements have been made, including fixes for icons in the App Source popup and flickering in the Recording tab.

Certain rare and unsupported combinations of AAC settings which previously caused an error are now correctly limited in the UI. As usual, we recommend getting the latest version right away! The Recorder block now has a “Stopped” state, shown when a File Limit is reached or the Block is turned off. Critical Bug Fix: This update fixes a thankfully rare issue, where timers could break and begin to behave inconsistently. Critical Bug Fix: A regression introduced in version 3.

All timers should now function as expected. Major Enhancement: Overall latency in Audio Hijack has been massively reduced, and improvements to prevent latency from growing have been made as well. If you had issues with latency previously, please test this new version. Critical Bug Fix: Due to faulty logic, on days when clocks changed for Daylight Saving Time, timers previously suffered from off-by-one-hour issues.

This has now been corrected, so timers will work correctly on all days of the year. Files are named correctly after splits, and the finalization of longer files is better handled. The Recordings and Schedule tabs now feature “Delete Recording s ” and “Delete Timer s ” buttons respectively, to make it much more obvious how to delete these items. An issue where a popover could come down with an uncontrollable case of the jiggles has been corrected.

It may have looked funny, but it was certainly not correct! Various other minor interface improvements, including preventing unnecessary scrolling in the Library, updating highlight colors, tweaking the schedule layout slightly, adding a “No Presets” view when the last preset is deleted, and improving editing of an active timer. Critical Bug Fix: We’ve fixed an issue where App Nap could affect recordings, particularly unattended recordings, resulting in incomplete or incorrect audio.

If you experienced any issues with incomplete recordings, this update should cure things. Enhancement: Recorder settings can now be tweaked when a Recorder block is off, regardless of the state of the Session running or not.

The Recordings tab will now update titles to reflect file name or title tag changes, as well as other tag changes. If Instant On is not installed, dragging a System Audio block into a running Session will now not pop a whole mess of errors. Nice, huh? Session windows now properly remember to re-open on launch, and the Home window now opens behind other Session windows on launch, not in front of them. The text of the Ducking block has been updated in an attempt at greater clarity.

Its functionality is unchanged. It is no longer possible to delete in-progress recordings. That was weird, so we no longer allow it. Previously, there was a complex and confusing issue where splitting AAC or ALAC files could eventually result in a file winding up mis-named and a directory higher than it should have been.

A preliminary fix to avoid the issue is now in place. Critical Bug Fix: An issue where audio could get crackly and eventually stop playing through properly has been fixed.

Critical Bug Fix: A rare but serious bug where Audio Hijack could pinwheel and die at the end of a recording has been corrected. Bug Fix: We crushed an irritating bug where text fields in the Recordings tab would lose focus with each keystroke. Bug Fix: Importing of old Sessions is now more robust, and correctly imports all timers and tags.

Bug Fix: Improvements to latency have been made, particularly to prevent latency growth. Further improvements to latency issues are expected in future versions. Recorders which hit a File Limit will now correctly resume after either the Block or the Session is toggled off and back on. A disabled timer could stop a recording currently being made by another timer.

Variables in Recorder Block tags and file names are now properly expanded, to fix both omitted fields and issues with expansion. When a Recorder Block has variables in multiple fields which refer to one another, this is now handled sensibly. As well, variables in Recorder Block tags can no longer incorrectly refer back to themselves. A rare issue where Blocks could leave, well, droppings, has been corrected. Honestly, it looked like the Block had defecated. It was hilarious, but wrong.

Accessibility improvement: The first block pasted into the Audio Grid is now properly selected and described by VoiceOver. Accessibility improvement: The disclosure buttons for advanced sections in popovers and library sub-sections are now skipped by VoiceOver.

These sections automatically expand on VoiceOver-interact. The buttons were poorly described, and of no value to VoiceOver users. Accessibility improvement: Schedule times were incorrectly read by VoiceOver, which could be very, very confusing!

They’ll now be read correctly. Accessibility improvement: The “Hide Library” button which hides the library from VoiceOver navigation, as well as visually is now correctly labeled for VoiceOver. Accessibility improvement: Animations of blocks adding, deleting, or moving Blocks are now disabled when VoiceOver is in use, to avoiding confusing VoiceOver. Animations resume when Audio Hijack is restarted. Holy Wow! Audio Hijack 3 is a completely redesigned upgrade to all previous Audio Hijack apps.

Streamlined Recording Options – Audio Hijack offers a half-dozen sensible defaults for recording. Of course, if you’re looking for powerful recording options, they’re still available too. Full-Screen Mode – Whether configuring a tricky Session or focusing on a recording, going full-screen helps you focus. The Ducking Effect – With this effect, one signal can automatically be ducked under another, based on input levels.

Audio capture has been made more robust, thanks to fascinating changes like “don’t keep trying to hijack a process if it has been removed or already hijacked” and “fix hang where dispatch queue exceeds 64 thread limit from hijacking sandboxed subprocesses”.

Nearly impenetrable! But all you need to know is that audio capture is more reliable than ever. A rare issue with Recording hotkeys has been corrected, making it possible to use Option in shortcuts.
