Audio Hijack Pro is a podcaster’s best friend.

Combining audio from multiple applications can also be accomplished by bringing

together a witch’s brew of Mac freeware, including Audacity, LineIn

(http://rogueamoeba.com/freebies/), Soundflower, and SoundFlowerbed

(http://www.cycling74.com/). Many podcasters will confirm, however, that you’ll

experience a lot less aggravation if you simply spring for AHP. It truly succeeds in

simplifying and enhancing the podcast recording process.

Note to users of Intel-based Macs: AHP cannot hijack audio from applications running

under Rosetta. Hijacked apps must be of the Universal Binary variety. See Apple’s Web

site for an explanation of Rosetta (http://www.apple.com/rosetta/).

Programs such as Ableton’s LIVE 24-Bit Recording Software ($399.95) or Mackie’s more

affordable Tracktion2 Music Production Software ($149) are a couple of sophisticated

multi-track recording/editing programs that support a variety of useful features and plug-

ins. Depending on your needs and budget, these might be more attractive options for you

than AHP.
