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.)

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.

Audio Hijack pro quicktime player audio sync issue

I am trying to record youtube videos using quicktime player (screen recording the game) and Audio Hijack Pro (recording the game audio and skype audio). The problem is, when I edit the video, the comentary on a cirtain event very gradually gets further and further from the event in the screen recording. Is there any solution for this? If so please tell me. Thanks.

Yes. I own it. I solved the problem. I had a trial version of another sound enhancement program called WOW. I removed it and the problem is solved. It was obviously running in the background even though I thought I had uninstalled it.
All is well now.
Thanks!

Why is Audio Hijack Pro only recording 31m of a 2 hour program?

I'm sure many of you are familiar with Audio Hijack Pro. I just bought it and can't figure out why it's only recording 31 minutes of a 2 hour stream. I read about various ways to route the audio back into Logic 8 but Audio Hijack Pro seems really easy.

You know, it's funny you mention the bit about registering it...
When I followed someone else's suggestion to check the schedule tab (which was turned off), the mere fact of me clicking on that tab (which I hadn't done previously) opened up a series of 3 installs (Soundflower, etc.), which was unexpected, yet promising somehow. It asked me to log off and restart. So that could be totally key. I'll see how it goes today. No worries about the registration thing. Btw, thanks to you and all the other people who have responded. The Rogue Amoeba people are helpful, but it takes 1-2 days to get a response, so it's been like watching paint dry. Cheers to you all.

Audio Hijack Pro + Quicktime X

Audio Hijack Pro can hijack Quicktime X, but I can't get it to record. It will still record Quicktime 7. I use this to record some late night talk radio for download to iTunes. Good thing Quicktime 7 is still on the computer (in the Utilities folder). I've contacted the developer (Rogue Amoeba).
From their compatibility website (http://www.rogueamoeba.com/status/), it looks like an update will be coming.

Weird. Sorry, no further ideas at this time. Perhaps someone else will have run across this and have a suggestion.
Meanwhile, you might try playing and capturing the audio file using QuickTime Player 7 which should be in your Utilities folder (if not, you can install it via the Optional Installs on your Snow Leopard install disk). That might work with Audio Hijack.
Regards.

Audio Hijack Pro--What Did I Do?

Audio Hijack Pro used to work very well, until I used it to enhance the sound on my MacBook Pro (latest Lion OSX). One day, it started distoring everything played through it. Now, when I want to just get the audio off a video of guitar and banjo lessons to play on my iPod, the recordings are terribly distorted. Recordings and playback from all sources through Audio Hijack Pro--Itunes, Safari, Quicktime, etc.--are severely distorted with high frequency noise and reverb. It's as if the Effects are on, but they are not.
I am not very familiar with audio settings, and have Soundflower 2ch as the input device (used with IShowU). I tried removing and re-installing it twice. I changed to Default Input, etc., etc.
I have no idea why this program was working and is now totally useless. I'm asking for help. Somewhere, somehow, I changed a setting or settings, and now I can't make it work. There have been a couple of Apple software updates that may have something to do with this...
Any advice I can get will be greatly appreciated.
Christine

MBP, Leopard, & Audio Hijack Pro Software

Hi:
I have updated several audio programs (Airfoil, Sound Grinder, Fission) to work with OS 10.5 because thats what came installed on my new MBP.
These updated programs work well.
However, the updated version of Audio Hijack Pro will not open properly....an error dialogue box keeps appearing.
At this time, I'm working with technical support at rogue ameoba to fix the issue, but am wondering if anyone else has experienced problems similar to this, and if so, have they come up with a fix.
Thanks very much,
Michael Stryker

Hi:
In case anyone is interested, the issue here was using an older version of stuffit expander to open the program from its zip file.
This version of stuffit is OS 9 vintage and cannot properly handle symlinks (I think that was the name of the files). If you encounter this problem, you can force OSX to unzip your program keep all files uncorrupted.

I am looking for a way to automate index creation using Adobe Reader Pro without having to use the screen user interface, as the indexing has to be run by a batch process.

Best way to record radio with good so

bought mainly n200 so i could record my favorite DJ once a week. I recorded from fm and after i recorded the show. The results were the tone of volume had sudden shifts in tone. In additon, some fuzz. tried two dffernt way one the fm recorder and the other having it attached straight to the radio and the results were similar. Whats the besy way to have good sound.

The truly free solution would be to find a freeware audio recorder that is AppleScript-compatible (look around on macupdate.com), and write or find an AppleScript that would be the timer. You could possibly script everything from launching the recorder to setting its options. The only catch would be to leave the AM radio running with a cable going into the Mac's audio input.
The easy option is to get the RadioShark2, but that's not free.
The only iPhone solution I can think of is to use the iPhone to find the radio station's website where they might have the program available for on-demand download...

To anyone that has no sound (w/ Audio Hijack Pro program installed)

This maybe a solution to your problem...

Recording Radio on Mac

Can anyone tell me how to record a radio programme on my mac?
I would usually do this on my Humax PVR, but I forgot to set it in time. The programme is available online for the next seven days, on BBC's Listen Again service. It is not available as a podcast, so it can't be downloaded.
The only way I can think of, is to use a cassette recorder, with a built-in microphone, as close as possible to the mac, but that seems rather clumsy and, anyway, I would really prefer to have the programme on disc, not cassette.
So is there a neater way of doing this?
TIA

As indicated by Malcolm Rayfield above, Audio Hijack is the way to do what you want. You can either use Audio Hijack Pro as he links to at $32 or a simpler version Audio Hijack at $16 http://versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/16382
Browse the links yourself to see the difference. Both can record for burning to a CD or any other recording device. Realplayer as mentioned by the last poster is not a recording device, simply broadcasting.
I myself use Audio Hijack Pro along with an editing device Fission by the same company which means you can record programmes and edit out applause or links etc. I would strongly recommend the Audio Hijack series, superb recording and extremely easy to use to record anything at all, radio, record player, cassette, whatever that can pass sound through your computer.

Simplest Ways to Record Audio on a Mac

I'm looking for some simple and inexpensive apps to use to record audio on my iMac running Mavericks. Mostly I'd want to record streaming radio broadcasts, much like using a DVR for TV. Someone showed my Audio Hijack Pro, but it was costly and seemed very complex to use. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I did think of that after I had posted. so now when working on video if I have the dv device with me Ill use the haedphone jack if not Im assuming I do what I did?
what I mean is if I dont have the device with me its just me and my mac book pro and external drive and Im viewing video on the mac on its screen
thanks for pointing this out other wise I would have been posting again when I was trying to get it to tape!!!

Way to record playing audio?

For some reason, I can't get a mpg file to convert to mp3 for iTunes playing. I have a video that plays in iTunes, but can't get the audio to convert to mp3 for my iPod (I have an older one -- no video).
I used to have a program that would record anything that played on the computer, anyone know of a program like that -- since I can't remember what the heck I did with the one I had, might have lost it going from G4 to G5. That's all I can think of to solve the problem, though any other thoughts would be welcome.
It's an old Sid Vicious video I'd love to be able to listen to on the pod.

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
