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.

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.

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.

App Boom & Audio Hijack

Hello,
so i was wondering if the application that apple put on their app store: Boom (http://globaldelight.com/boom/index.html) is better than the application Audio Hijack Pro (http://www.rogueamoeba.com/audiohijackpro/)?
My friend is telling me to get Audio Hijack Pro, but he also told me that his speaker on the macbook pro blew (meaning it wasnt playing sound anymore).... i know it seems as a stupid/obvious question but i wanted someones "professional" opinion, meaning why is one better than the other?
so thank you for taking the time to read.....

Audio CD import is not working the cd is ejected before itunes can read it

audio CD import is not working the cd is ejected before itunes can read it. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Lainey

Does this happen with all cd's or one in particular?
Reset the SMC http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Reset the PRAM http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
Try a cleaning disc. You can get them at places like Radio Shack.
If nothing helps your optical drive has probably failed. You can replace it or purchase an inexpensive external drive. Don't buy the Apple SuperDrive as it won't work with macs that have a built in drive.

How do I monitor audio while importing?

While importing from my cable TV, I Can see the incoming video but caan't hear the audio. I would be helpful if I could here the audio so I could go about my work and keep an ear on the feed. Then I would know when the feed is over without having to Constantly watch it. I suppose I could size the monitor windo real small and put it in the corner of my screen then rearrange all working windows arround it. But that's a pain...

How do I monitor audio while importing?
Use iMovie HD or Vidi to import files to your computer. Both allow audio monitoring. iMoveie '08 does not.

How do I get audio back on single clip that loses audio when imported into Premiere Pro CC?

I've got one clip out of many that for some reason won't play any audio when imported into Premiere Pro. I am new to Premiere Pro so am hoping it's something stupid I've done, but this is a problem with just a single clip exported the same way as all my others, the original audio is loud (not quiet) and none of the FAQ issues seem to apply (ie I haven't muted the audio or anything stupid like that)
The clip was exported from Plural Eyes into a "master" Premiere Pro project where the audio is fine. I exported it as a short MP4 clip and if I play the clip in Windows Media Player the audio is there loud and clear.
But when I import the clip into a fresh Preimiere Pro CC project this clip appears with just the "film strip" icon on the far left in the Timeline panel, unlike other clips which have an icon that shows "film strip" in the background and "audio wave" in the foreground.
I'm hitting so many glitches with the CC editions of Premiere Pro and After Effects which have annoying inconsistencies between them I'm tempted to just go back to Sony Vegas Pro (single program, no hassle) but hoping most of these issues are down to "newbie incompetence". Very hard to understand why this one clip out of many should be giving me this specific problem though. Any ideas?

I'm getting so many weird results. Most go away by simply closing the project and re-opening and I only have 6GB memory but even so, I'm disappointed by what I thought was supposed to be more "world class" video editing software than Sony Vegas Pro which I found to be a lot more stable. Also struggling with differences between Premiere and After Effects. Every time I want to do something in Pro I seem to need to go to After Effects and vice-versa. After Effects lets me do more of what I could "just do" in Vegas Pro timeline, but it's hideous for lining up audio and having to render anything in RAM to even get a clue as to what a change has done. Need to add Audition to the long list as well I suspect. Fun times!

Help urgently needed: bizarre problem - no audio in imported clip!

Hey there!
I have a bizarre - never the less urgent problem:
When I import some material (presentations) which I have recorded on Mini DV with my Canon MVX10i Camcorder the following problem occurs:
There is one particular presentation which somehow looses the audio during the import process!
That means the imported clip has no audio even though the audfio is on tape! Other clips before and after do not have this problem - the audio is available after the import.
A bizarre but serious problem for me. Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot in advance
Thorge

I had a similar problem. When I started the tape from the beginning no audio would import. To solve it I started the tape a few seconds in and It seemed to work.
Hope this helps.

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.

How to insert AS to fix audio in imported swf ?

Thanks to Whyves... This previous post seems to have a solution, Im just not sure where i create layers in my Captivate 4 file? As I go into Project > Actions >???
Cheers

Re: Captivate 4, interaction SWF using XML and the Reviewer tool Problem
Part 1:
Found a way to stop the imported SWF audio when a user switches slides. The following AS3 code was inserted into the imported swf:
My actions layer:
root.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, checkSlideInfo);
My functions layer:
function checkSlideInfo(e:Event):void {
    /* if user moves to next or previous slide in Captivate, stops the interaction audio */
    if(root.cpInfoCurrentSlide == 4) {
        null
    } else {
        /* stops audio */
        if (savedChannel!=null) {
            savedChannel.stop();
        /* resets interaction */
        loadContentToBox(contentBox.contentText, instructions);
So, for those trying to find a way to stop their audio from imported swfs, there's one piece to the puzzle!!! You CAN stop your imported swf audios or animation audios using the above function in AS3!
BTW, it would be nice if Adobe would create a book on Essentials to Advanced Actions, just a suggestion since it is somewhat of a programming language and it would be nice to have samples and more informative tutorials to use.
NOTE: The above function calls on other variables and functions are specific to the interaction. The main piece to focus on is the roo.cpInfoCurrentSlide. It had to equal slide 4 in order to allow the interaction swf audio to play. If the user switched, I stopped the savedChannel (named soundChannel variable in AS3) from playing.

Hello,
About your suggestion for a book on essentials for advanced actions. Rick Stone has such a book, for Captivate 4 (Goober Guide). I have been blogging a lot about advanced actions, with links to tutorials published with Adobe Publishing Application. It is not a book, but could perhaps help you if you did not yet visited the blog. The feedback from readers is pretty positive. Here is a link to a post that has a list with the published articles, a lot of other blog posts explain use cases and principles:

Only half of the audio gets imported in Composition!!!

I use After Affects CS6. I have 8 videos. I import them to my Project and then import them all in one composition. Everything is fine: BUT one of the videos, has only half the sound. On top left, I see the green wave sign is full but as soon as I import it next to the other videos in the Composition, only half of the sound gets imported. I check the Audio in the composition for this video and can also see the green wave in half way through.
I tried a new comporistion for this particular video, the same thing. I even closed everything down, open a very brand new project but still the same.
No effect or anything is used. Again, all the 8 videos are being treated 100% indenticall. It is just this one that although the audio gets imported all in full in the Project but as soon as it is imported to the Composition, half of the sound gets disppeared.
Please help me. I have to deliver this project to my customer :(((

The videos come from my Camcorder and in MTS format.
Yes. It opens fine in Premiere and other places. Even in After Effects, It imports all fine in the Project. The green waving audio sign is there to see and all fine. But as soon as I import it to the Composition, only half od the audio gets importet.
Well, like I said, EVERYTHING is 100% the same amoung all these 8 videos. They were shot at the same day, same everything. All the other 7 work just they way they should. Its just THIS one with this issue.
I just even un-installed the AE and re-installed it but still the same. New project, new composition, .. THIS video gets only half audio when in Composition.

No audio when importing AVCHD into FCP X? Simple solution.

After hours of trial and error and several phone calls to support, I figured out why my AVCHD footage (MTS files from a Canon vixia HF S100) had no audio when importing into FCPX. The solution was to simply uncheck the box - "Remove silent channels" - under Audio in the pop-up import window . That did the trick.
I had tried importing from a card reader, the camera and from an external hard drive and then tried 2 converter programs (MPEG streamclick and Wondershare Video Conerter Ultimate.)
Final Cut Pro X
OS X 10.8.2

It's usually something simple that can catch the best of us.

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.)
