Our last major change is the addition of full support for capturing audio from Slack. The default setting (“More Reliable”) is recommended for most users 1, but users like podcasters and musicians doing live monitoring can now reduce latency to the absolute minimum. While Audio Hijack does its best to minimize latency by default, advanced users who wish to lower it further are now able to do so. The new Latency slider can be used to reduce the time Audio Hijack takes to process audio, which helps in situations where a slight echo is heard while monitoring live. We’ve also added a new preference to Audio Hijack, one that’s intended for our most advanced users. With this change, Audio Hijack’s recordings are more bullet-proof than ever before. These files are internally consistent at all times, which means there’s no processing delay at the end of long recordings and ensures that even a power outage won’t cause lost audio. Audio Hijack now avoids the need for finalization at the end of recording with these formats, by saving them as so-called “fragmented” MP4s.

Perhaps the biggest change in the new version is one we expect folks won’t even notice: simpler, safer recording for the AAC and Apple Lossless formats. Read on for more information on what’s new. It’s free for current owners of Audio Hijack 3, and you can get it by choosing “Check for Update” from the Audio Hijack menu.

Today, we’re pleased to release Audio Hijack 3.3. Of course, there’s always more to be done, and we’re not standing still. In fact, Audio Hijack 3 was so well-liked that iMore named it their “ Mac App of the Year” for 2015. We released Audio Hijack 3 in January, then followed that up with major updates to versions 3.1 and 3.2 later in the year. Last year was a big one for our recording application Audio Hijack.
