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.

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--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

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!

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.

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.

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.

Why does my macbook pro only start up in safe mode?

Last night i updated my macbook pro, and when it restarted it stopped at the logo with the spinning wheel, and it kept spinning for 20+ minutes. I shut it down by holding the button, and it will not start up again, every time the wheel just keeps spinning. I tried holding down shift, and starting it in safe mode, and that seemed to work. But that is the only way it will boot up, and I am limited to what I can do. How can I start my macbook pro up with out safe mode. I do not have my installation disk with me, and I do not have any of my stuff backed up, but I plan on purchasing a external hard drive within the next week to back up everything, incase I have to wipe my hard drive. But I will only do that at last resort...

MacBook Pro 3,1 15' 2,2 Core 2 Duo Late 2007.
I used the same buss speed (667 mhz) and the same type DDR2. Same number of pins.
I also checked what happened with 0 ram in slots, and then it started blinking constantly.
So it must see the RAM but the RAM seems useless for some reason...

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

This maybe a solution to your problem...

Why is my Macbook Pro only running right when I am performing "repair disk permissions"

Greetings,
My mid 2012 macbook pro began running extremely slow. I have performed all of the basic diagnostics from the help threads with no luck. In the process, I noticed that when I perform the repair disc permissions feature in disc utility, the computer runs just fine. When this process is complete, the computer is back to running slow. Any idea what's going on?

Have you tried:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion or Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
If that doesn't help much then try:
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Why does my Macbook Pro battery not even last me 2 hours even just browsing the internet or typing a document?

So my Macbook Pro 2011 that isn't even a year and a half old only lasts me about 2 hours of battery. My brightness is set to only 4 notches most of the time and I mostly have google chrome and itunes or spotify open when I am using it. I have to charge it about 2 times a day.

Getting Soundtrack Pro to record with M-Audio Firewire Solo?

I'm having trouble trying to record 'live' into Soundtrack Pro. I've got a mic into analog mixer into M-Audio Firewire Solo audio interface into ibook set up.
In STP, I can select firewire channels 1 to 2 (under "Recording" tab) for the input device but nothing is recording when I hit the record button. the mic>mixer bit is working fine. I'm quite certain the mixer>audio bit is working so I think its a problem with compatibility between the M-Audio Firewire Solo device and Soundtrack Pro software....although it shows up as an option in the select audio input/output settings in STP... I've also got the latest Tiger driver for the Firewire Solo device and the latest update for STP.
I CAN record from the in-built mic on the ibook so that bit works...
Currently, I've been recording individual tracks into Audacity then exporting them all as separate tracks into Soundtrack Pro for post production as AIFF files (drag and drop them into STP in the order I require). I'm doing this as a temporary measure until I can find out how to get M-Audio Firewire Solo talking to Soundtrack Pro.
Anyone got any ideas?

Well, I got it working with Soundtrack Pro and Audio Hijack Pro in the end. It seems that only the front side of M-Audio FireWire Solo recording interface actually seems to work and only the right channel (mono). Its a little bit annoying but it works...not sure why the back ones did not work (s/pdif, balanced and unbalanced phone jacks plugs), perhaps its something to do with the fact that the front has gain level knobs and the back doesn't....hmm...maybe not enough power to drive the back connectors?
Anyway, if any of you happen to use M-Audio FireWire audio interfaces (analog to digital converter) and you face a similar problem, then its probably going to be a similar thing...

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 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.

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.

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