Dither at the end of the chain (with the NShape setting) smooth your mix in a subtle way that is most perceptible on a big, clear system. Loudness is really useful is you play at low volume (like in bars or at the beginning of the night). The Sub Bass adds nice booming bass (be careful if you also use the low boost in the excitifier). Of interest here are the Sub Bass, Loudness and Dither.

Other free plugs that are included are the mda VST ( ). The low boost comes in handy too, does the same thing on the lows. You can play with the 'Mix' setting, keeping it low most of the time for the added clarity, and pumping it more when you want a track to hit. Don't abuse it because too much fatigue the hearing. It does something similar to the Aphex Aural exciter, adding some pleasing harmonics to the highs, restoring the brightness and clarity that is lacking in mp3. Use the bypass button to listen to the treated/untreated sound. I then back up till I don't hear the distinctive sound it makes anymore then back a little more. I usually turn the 'Mix' half-way and do my settings. The one you'll most likely use first is the Green Oak excitifier (take a look at the docs here: ). Some free plugins come with Audio Hijack. One of the advantage is that you'll hear better what you do, and you will also sound good even on a not well tuned or crap system. And if you choose your plugs wisely and tune them well, the resulting sound can be life changing. The shift in latency can't be felt, even when you get reasonably heavy on the number of plugins you use. It takes the sound of any app, add some VST (or AU) to it, and hands it back to the sound card. True, people won't be able to really hear the difference, but trust me, they'll feel it. Add to that a big pumping system, and you'll sound worse than the guy who is playing vinyl or CD. Mp3, even when they are well encoded (and you bet mine are*), just lack something in brilliance and punch.

What I want is to be able to use sound enhancing plugs to have a pro sound. I don't really need them for special effects like delay and such. One of the big lack of Traktor is that it can't use VST plugins. On a separate but related matter, there’s no AppleScript dictionary for Audio Hijack 3 (as with Fission).Last week I used Traktor in conjunction with Audio Hijack Pro (, free demo available) in a live setting, for more than 8 hours. Who knows - maybe the removed functionality will be reintroduced down the line? Audio Hijack Pro still works fine so there’s no great rush to get off that and on to Audio Hijack 3. Or you could schedule a script to run after Audio Hijack wakes your machine and begins recording that hands the correct address directly to the browser? Perhaps a local web server that redirects to the correct URL? I haven’t done any web programming but I imagine that it would be fairly easy to rig up my existing Python scripts with Flask or web.py or something. I’ve got a good idea for solving the latter (having Hazel watch a directory and run a script when files come in) but providing the right URL to begin with is more tricky. scpt file.) There aren’t any blocks that offer more exotic input methods, nor outputs that pass the file off for processing. (So, in my case, Chrome “downloaded” the.

If you have the path to an AppleScript in that field it’ll treat it as a file to be saved. In Audio Hijack 3, application blocks can be set to open a URL. The short answer is that, if you have Audio Hijack Pro run an AppleScript at the start of a recording or process the finished recording using a script, you won’t be able to easily migrate to Audio Hijack 3. I haven’t had a chance to do any recording with it yet, but I just did a quick test to see how it handles scripted recordings.

Rogue Amoeba released their upgrade to Audio Hijack Pro yesterday, and it looks superb.
