Audio Hijack Pro ReviewGreat, but one glaring flaw... - Version: 2.9.6, 11/19/2009 02:08PM PST

saghi--2008
I've used Audio Hijack Pro for years and love it.

The new version of Audio Hijack Pro, the 64-bit compatible version, has one huge flaw - it requires that you restart certain apps in 32-bit mode. We don't want to restart in 32-bit mode! Part of what makes some of these updated apps preform so well, like Quicktime 10 for example, is that they're 64-bit!
So as it is, you take a performance hit if you want to hijack audio from Safari or Quicktime X (and many others I'm sure).

The software is still worth it, I think, I just don't hijack Safari or Quicktime X anymore. I'm really hoping they'll get this one figured out.

Also, would love to see the volume controls for each app MUCH larger, having to delicately nudge the mouse to adjust the slider in increments of 4% is a little cumbersome. I'd like to see a Mackie style board, just like their mixers, with nice tall vertical level controls, with ability to adjust in 1% increments instead of 4%.

Audio Hijack Pro CommentaryKill Tiger Support? Aaarrrggghhh... - Version: 2.9.4, 9/28/2009 08:42AM PST

No review here...except to say that I've been an Audio Hijack Pro user for many years. Great application. Evidently the emergence of Snow Leopard provides Rogue Amoeba with the excuse/reason/motivation/impetus to drop support for Tiger, which I am still compelled to use until a certain project is finished. Not that I mind; Tiger works fine.

But it looks like support for AHP in Tiger stopped with v2.9.2. Fooey. Are Leopard and Snow Leopard that much different from Tiger that AHP has had to change so drastically as to make 10.4.x support economically untenable? Apparently so.

Margins must indeed be razor-thin in the software market.

I've been using audio hijack pro for over a year and when i got snow leopard i was worried as instant hijack stopped working but with this new version that was released within about a fortnight of snow leopards release every things hunky dory, it even looks prettier.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks to the devs.
A+
