Audio HiJack and AU plugins/Turntablist

With help from you guys, I've been trying to use the "Turntablist" plug-in to create a slow start turntable effect. I'm trying to record the effect in Audio Hijack ( I have the free version),. so I can bring it back in to LogicExpress and slice and dice it into my mix. The problem is, when AudioHijack restarts LogicExpress my AU plug-ins dissapear and are un- available. Do I need the Pro version? Is there another/better way I can get audio from Turntablist into a track of Logic? Thanks everyone, this forum has been awesome for improving my chops in Logic- SeanE.Man

Well, I threw down for AudioHijack Pro, figuring I love the product, so at least I'm supporting RogueAmoeba. I still can't seem to Hijack the system audio, even though it IS an option in their menu. Not sure why. Thankfully, I was able to hijack Logic and keep all my AU plugins working. I think the key was to enable the "instant hijack" feature that requires another download. For the record, I did install the soundFlower app. that was supposed to let me hijack system audio, to no effect. I also dissabled my interface to avoid confusion with system audio. I think I need to dig a bit into their support at RogueAmoeba. I still don't feel ripped off though, because I eventually got the effect I wanted of a turntable slowing down, it just took three days and a pund of flesh. -Sean

  • Audio Hijack and PowerBook or MacBook Pro?

    Hi all..
    I currently have a PowerBook Ti and a MacBook Pro on order... I'm a big user of Audio Hijack and recently I wanted to digitise my Vinyl Record Collection for a Wedding DJ gig that I'm doing in February. I read the documentation on the Audio Hijack help guide and bought the *"In most cases, you'll need a stereo mini-jack (1/8") patch cable coupled with a 1/8" to 1/4" adapter, like these from Radio Shack"* that was suggested.... but when I selected the Audio In... all I got was a microphone... so when I went to play the file... it was nothing but a recording from the mic. Do I now have to purchase Griffin iMic... or will my new MacBook Pro have a better Audio In port??
    Any comments most welcome....
    Yours sincerely,

  • App alternative to Audio Hijack

    Just purchased a new MacBook Pro and looking to upgrade some of the programs I used on my old machine. I was wondering if there was an App like program of the audio recording program called Audio Hijack. Basically Audio Hijack is a program that allows you to capture any streaming audio or any audio that passes through your computer and save it as a file.
    If anyone is familiar with Audio Hijack and knows a newer and/or cheaper alternative, I'd be interested to hear about them.

    Audio Hijack is more to do with recording audio and then enhancing it.
    But at the end no matter what you use, you must remember not to unnecessarily exceed the audio levels of your speaker.
    I originally purchased AH Pro years ago specifically to increase volume of laptop speakers for watching movies etc.  It has since become my main audio recorder for importing old music (Analog --> Digital,) coupled with Fission software for editing. A very sweet one-two combo from rogueamoeba.
    Heed DamienC warning you can blow your speakers no matter what if you are careless.

  • Audio quiets and is taken over by Humming??

    Hello i am in desperate need of help. I tried to get audio hijack and Hear today. I did get them and fiddled around with them but they did not seem to take any effect. I downloaded the instant hijack plug in with Audio Hijack and it made me reboot. Since that point everytime i start to play anything with sound. itunes. vlc. internet. the sound will get very quiet very fast. then there will only be a constant humming. I can control the volume of the humming with my volume controls. I have since deleted both applications from my computer. I would really like to fix this asap. Thank you

    Hold down the shift key and open Safari from the Dock.

  • HT3161 I have a 27" mac running with a 3.4 ghz core i7 and 16 gigs of ram and using the latest logic. I have a composition consisting of 7 audio tracks and 4 software instruments and 4 plugins on 4 tracks so why is my CPU spiking ?

    I'm running a 27" imac with a 3.4ghz core i7 processor and 16 gb of ram.... In logic I have a project with 7 audio tracks with various plugins running and 4 software instruments which incidentally are not playing all the way through the track...my CPU spikes even if the project is paused...why is this happening on such a high end machine.....wasting my money again seems to spring to mind !!

  • GeForce 6800, Screensaver and Timer of Audio Hijack

    My G5 with GeForce 6800 wakes up from sleep fine after touching any key. First there is a picture of my screensaver for a split of a second and then the whole active screen. The sleep of the HD and the screen are set on default in System Prefs, Energy Saver.
    When the Timer of Audio Hijack Pro is to wake up the machine for audio recording the picture freezes, screen doesn't open and the recording can't proceed because AHP application remains closed.
    I've tried variety of screensaver and sleep settings but the Timer wouldn't wake up the machine beyond the frozen screensaver. If I eliminate screensaver the Cinema 30 screen opens up but is frozen. The clock isn't running until I touch the key. It looks like the Timer's impuls isn't strong enough and can't fully wake up the machine.
    Could this be a conflict of 6800 with the Timer of AHP? Does it make sense? Has anybody experienced similar issue? I would hate to test it by removing 6800 and putting the 9800 back. In my old G4, without 6800, the Timer works just fine.

    Aside from Andy's reply:
    10.8.5 runs as smooth or even smoother than 10.8.4 on my Mac mini. Sure, not an iMac, and none of the issues you report.
    Sublime Text 2 Build 2221 appears to launch, open and save files quicker than on 10.8.4.
    Your other third-party apps may require developer updates -- or not. Even IntelliJ Ideas 12.1.4 still has a JDK 6 installation requirement. Recommend the appropriate support community for IntelliJ.
    Also recommend that you run Disk Utility and verify/repair permissions. I found some stuff post-install that needed that.
    Update: Just saw your latest post. Good solve.

  • EQ and other plugins for iTunes playback?

    I'm wondering if it's possible to use Audio Units plugins (or any of the plugins bundled with Logic Studio) with iTunes. The built-in eq isn't particularly useful for my purposes.

    I would like to know how to do this as well. I just recently purchased IK multimedia ARC room correction system and it works great! However, it only works as a plugin. This is fine for my mixing use, but I listen to most of my music through itunes!
    I've heard of other ARC owners using a program called "audio hijack" to do this, but was curious of there are other hopefully free options out there. I'm downloading the audio hijack demo now, will post back the results: http://rogueamoeba.com/audiohijackpro/

  • Logic Pro 9.1.7 + Imac 2010 + 10.7.4 + Firewire = Audio Error and Solution.

    Hi all,
    This post is the end of a weeks long hair pulling, to save other people the pain of my past week, here is a quick rundown of the issue and the solution that for us at least worked.
    All the software is legit and fully updated btw, before people ask.
    Logic Pro 9.1.7 on 2010 Imac on 10.6.x, Refx Nexus, Sylenth plus many other VST's and Au's, Mackie Pro + Extender, 2 Midi Keyboards (Oxygen 49 and Alexis 49)  and with a M-Audio 410 external soundcard running 10.1.3 driver, all working.. only issue we had was when copying midi between tracks into differing plugins the midi would corrupt the plugin requiring a restart of Logic.
    This error we later discovered was due to midi automation for plugins being copied over, but that is not this issue.
    Updated OS from 10.6 to 10.7.4 by way of 10.7.4 Combi Update. Removed M-Audio Drivers and then installed 10.7.4,
    Installed brand new GRAID 4TB external disk (Raid 0 at 64kb block sixe) and connected M-Audio 410 via daisy chain.
    Installed M-Audio Drivers, all ok.. at first..
    Graid is 800, M-Audio is 400.. Connected as Imac -> GRaid -> Maudio
    At first, its good, no issues.
    Copied over a whopping 550GB off Imac onto external..  then later on, rebooted mac and started working on music.
    Ran Logic Pro  (64bit mode), whilst using Midi with Nexus we discovered the Audio at first was ok, but quickly over time degraded to where the sounds started becoming distorted, the more we went on, the more the distortion increased, after a while the midi notes were just sounding awful.
    Rebooted mac
    Started using Logic again, not 1 minute in, External drive and M-Audio disconnected themselves from the Mac.
    Rebooted
    Hard drive now seen, no M-Audio.
    Now though, even using Itunes or Quicktime or VLC on any mp3 via internal soundcard, quality was.. well terrible. Within 2 seconds of hitting play, you knew it was bad.
    Shutdown, removed external drive from chain, rebooted Mac -> M-Audio
    M-Audio now seen, sound quality dreadful, shutdown Mac, rebooted without M-Audio, sound still awful just on Internal audio.
    Time passes, I smoke too much, prod and poke and eventually reach for the install media
    (Lots of shutdowns and restarts in next bit, after each line, also carefully reset and tested every Audio setting.)
    Removed M-Audio driver
    Installed 10.7.4
    Installed M-Audio
    All good again.
    Later, as a test, connected External drive on its own, no M-Audio
    All good.
    Second test, added External Drive plus chain to M-Audio
    Not good, M-Audio seen but even though sound bars showing on M-Audio software, no sound out to mixer
    Removed External Drive from Chain, M-Audio now straight to Mac.
    All BAD; sound was terrible,
    Disconnected M-Audio
    Playing any Mp3 via internal Audio, terrible..
    Whatever happened, has thrown the entire Audio system into a mess, again!.
    Removed M-Audio driver.
    Reinstalled 10.7.4
    Reinstalled M-Audio Driver
    All good, on internal or external Audio
    Disconnected M-Audio
    Reconnected External Drive Only
    Drive OK, Internal Sound OK.
    Removed External drive
    Reconnected M-Audio
    All ok, internal or External.
    Ok, Final conclusion.
    When the M-Audio (400FW) is connected to Mac via External Drive (800) the Audio is knackered from that point onwards on 10.7.4, removing M-Audio drivers and re-installing makes no difference, even the Internal Sound is knackered.
    Only solution at this point, remove M-Audio driver, reboot, reinstall 10.7.4, reboot, reinstall M-Audio Driver, reboot.
    Then its all good again.
    My guess is this, and I am probably wrong but it is all I can think of.
    When the M-Audio is daisychained the Mac changes a setting somewhere, probably to adjust for high latency, at this point it is written somewhere (either as a file or as DSP bios setting) that is not being reset.
    This is why it is completely broken until 10.7.4 is re-installed at which point whatever setting it is that was changed, is reset.
    This is all I can think of, I have posted this so that if someone else in the weeks ahead has a similar issue, it will save you the stress and late nights I had this past week.
    Take care all.

    I was seeing the same problem... I'm a new Logic user, switching from DP, and so it was a minty fresh install of Logic Pro 9.1.7 under ML.
    It turned out to be a third party graphics driver that was screwing up some internal process:  specifically, the dirver for AirDisplay, an iOS app that lets you use an iPad as a portable monitor.  When I removed the driver, the problem cleared up instantly, and I have done 9 hour sessions in Logic since then without a single hiccup.
    If you're running a third party driver, remove it, repair permissions and see if the problem clears up.

    Willy, the procdedure you describe works perfectly for AppleTV G1. In fact, I frequently play DTS music discs ripped to my iTunes library as Apple Lossless (ALAC) and synched to the ATV. What happens is that, as far as iTunes and the ATV are concerned, a conventional stereo 16/44 audio file is being played; however my reciever detects the DTS data stream, and instead of outputting static, it decodes the 5.1 channels correctly. This process parallels the way DTS discs were designed to be played back: a conventional CD player is connceted, via digital out, to a DTS-aware reciever/pre-amp and the two channels of static are recognized as 6 channels of DTS-encoded audio.
    However this process will only work if the player (CD, ATV, PC, etc.) sends a "bit-perfect" 16 bit/44.1 khz data stream to the decoding device. In the case of ATV G2 and G3, as has been discussed elsewhere, the unit resmaples all audio - including 16/44 PCM (Redbook CD)  - to 16/48. While this is not a big deal for conventional audio CDs, MP3s, and AAC files, it mangles the fragile DTS datastream and renders it undecodable. The resulting static that you hear is just like the static you would hear if you played a DTS CD on a non-DTS capable system.
    Sadly, I'm not aware of any easy way around this. You could use a program like Foobar (and the DTS plugin) to convert your DTS CDs to 6-ch .wav or .flac file. From there you could transcode the file to AC-3 and then mux it into a video container that ATV supports. You may need add a dummy video track, for iTunes/AppleTV to be ok with the file, though I'm not sure. This may be a lot of work.
    Sorry for the bad news. I wish that the iTunes/ATV ecosystem had better multi-channel audio support.

  • Music Editing with Audio Hijack or WireTap

    WireTap Pro vs. Audio Hijack with Fission for one simple editing task
    I have a collection of about 500 pieces of classical music in iTunes and on my iPod and iPhone. Some recordings come with adequate fade-out or decay time at the end of each piece of music (or each movement), some with little or none. I would like to get into my iTunes library and extend the fade-out silence at the end of each piece to a time that better suits my ear -- adding perhaps 10-15 seconds before the next piece of music starts if I have the iPod set for "shuffle." I'm not wanting to edit sound out...I'm just wanting to extend or append a silence. Are either of these program well-suited to that task? Any glitches I should be aware of? If both can do what I need is there any reason to favor one or the other?

    I use Fission for such tasks - I've never tried WireTap.
    Audio Hijack is for recording internet streams or other sound coming through your computer. It's for making new recordings - you don't need it if all you're doing is the sound editing like you mention.
    With Fission, you can fade a song out or in, and do some other sound editing, like splitting a piece into two. It's not for making real minute cuts or real fine tuning, but it works well for simple editing.
    For adding silence, it's pretty straightforward - you move the playhead to the end of the track (in your case), and there's a menu item (under the 'clip' menu, I think, that's called "insert silence". Then a counter comes up and you can tell it how much silence you want, and it will add it at the playhead. It does it as a separate track, though, with a 'split' in between. So the next step is in the edit menu, 'remove all splits' (or you can do it manually).
    Then you can save the file - if you 'replace' the old file with the new one, you're done, and the new file overwrites the old one. If you give the new track a different name, then you have to navigate to the folder it's in and double-click to import it into iTunes, where it will have the same name (in iTunes) as the old track, even if you saved it under a different name. You can change the metadata for the track before saving, to avoid that.
    But I just add silence and then overwrite the old track, so it's gone from iTunes, and the new one is there.
    It can be a little tedious to do several tracks (one at a time). No real glitches - sometimes when messing with a track too much, there can be a 'popping' sound added, but it's rare and easily fixed by undoing the editing. You have to undo it one step at a time, but you can undo it every step back to the beginning.
    Also, Fission works on all types of sound files without transcoding - Apple Lossless, AIFF, mp3, AAC - it doesn't change the file format (unless you ask it to convert the file).
    Maybe somebody will post about WireTap Pro - I assume it can do the same things, but I've never seen the interface.

  • Preference Problem - Audio HiJack

    Hope someone can help.....I downloaded Audio HiJack (demo) to record some LP's as MP3's and to record some concert DVD's to itunes. When I installed the software, the DVD player would no longer work. I got an error message "supported disc not available". Once I unistalled the software, it worked fine.
    Is there something that has to be tweaked in the software to have both applications work?
    Thanks, Bill

    Did you try adding DVD Player and iDVD to the Master Exclude List (System Preferences)? I can't remember if "Application Enhancer" is downloaded with the free version or not, but this is an option (exclude) available with AH Pro.

  • Audio Hijack & Screensaver(s) [Not Working]

    I am having a problem with Audio-Hijack PRO & my screensaver, and, I am hoping maybe someone here has come across this.
    If I have a recording in Audio Hijack scheduled to go off at 3:00am, it has no problem bringing the monitor out of sleep, however, the screensaver or monitor sleep never kicks back in, and, I am a bit worried that this may do damage to my monitor.
    Has anyone ever come a across any problems like this with audio-hijack ?
    Another thing that happens is, if I start a manual record of the sound of the system, the screensaver never kicks in, and, the monitor never goes back to sleep.
    This is really becoming frustrating, and, i am hoping I can get some answers here. if not, i appreciate you taking the time to read this.
    Is there a setting in MAC OS X that you can set so programs running will still allow screensavers?

    Hi,
    Did you burn a set of the HP Recovery Disks?  You mentioned that the reformat failed. Is that correct? Did you try a full HP Recovery?  If not, then backup your data to external media.  Boot up to the HP Blue screen and first try diagnostics and see how that goes.  If that is successful, then boot again up to the HP blue screen and try Recovery.
    If you don't have a set of the HP Recovery Disks and the Recovery process fails from the HP blue screen then you need to order a set of the HP Recovery Disks from HP. HP Recovery Disks.

  • Please help me with Audio Hijack Pro!!!!

    Guys, I am really trying to get my podcast back up and running, but I ran into a weird problem with Audio Hijack not too long ago. I have gotten this to work many times before, so this is nothing new. When I use AHP to hijack my microphones, and then use Garageband to record, after 10 min, I get static on one of my mics. Now, I have purchased this product, so it is totally legit, and I know that the trial gives you static after 10 min, but I have my code and the program took it fine. I have contacted AHP, but they basically had me delete a pref file and then reinstall it. It did not work. Can you think of any other ideas that I can try??? I really want to get this back up and running and it takes AHP a long time to get back to me. PLEASE HELP!
    Thank you!

    I forgot to mention the reason I am using Audio Hijack pro is because i am using 2 usb mics.

  • Ways to record radio broadcasts using Audio Hijack Pro

    If I download Audio Hijack Pro what is the simplest and most efficient way to download radio broadcasts ?
    I have experimented using Garageband and my radio tuner with an audio cable connected to the 'audio-in' port without success.

    I'm late to this discussion because I've had no problems recording my weekly 2-hour jazz show by inputting my Onkyo tune to my 2013 iMac vs. USB (Apple removed the audio-in jack--darn it).  I recorded them in Sound Studio (which unlike Toast has easily editable audio waves--and for digitizing LPs, I found I could be more accurate and achieve faster results that with Spin Doctor, which is bundled with Toast). I had no trouble.  That is, until now.  My recordings are suddenly all static.  I can hear my voice in the background but the recording is unusable for all practical purposes.
    I can only infer that the problem may stem from my Onkyo receiver transmitting a regular FM signal (it's not an HD receiver).  The station that I broadcast from is HD (like many other public radio stations), so the main channel (#1) along with #2 and #3 are transmitting a high def signal, which will not have static (it's all or nothing, the signal is clear or it's non-existent).
    Therefore, it appears I need a program like AHP to record the program direct from our station's internet site.  (I'm not clear if internet radio and HD radio are the same thing.  HD radio, of course, proved a bust, but internet audio seems no longer to provoke the little bit of complaint.  (10 years ago it was like 2 dixiecups communicating with a string.  A joke when compared to the best vinyl.  But now the AIFF and Apple Lossless files appear to meet the approval of audiophiles.)
    I'm wondering if AHP is still the program of choice for recording sounds from my internet radio station (My Roxio Toast claims to have the capability, but it's proven highly buggy and undependable.)  Or would I be better advised to look for an external HD radio/tuner with audio out to go to my computer.  (Possibly a tall order these days with no one making HD radios.)
