Get the Latest Audio Hijack for Latency Reduction and More

Yesterday, we posted version 3.0.3 of our audio recording tool Audio Hijack. While that’s certainly not the most exciting version number, this update does contain several important fixes and improvements. Perhaps most importantly, we’ve drastically reduced the amount of latency which occurs when capturing audio with Audio Hijack. If you’ve tried Audio Hijack 3 but run into troubles with latency, we urge you to get the newest version and test it out again.

There are many other enhancements and fixes as well. We solved a snag where timers would be off-by-one-hour on days when the clocks changed for Daylight Saving Time. We improved the finalization of AAC and Apple Lossless recording files. To make it more obvious how to remove items from the Recordings and Schedule tab, we’ve added “Delete” buttons in those places. While we were at it, we managed to stomp out a few more rare bugs and issues.

All that is to say that you should make sure you have the latest Audio Hijack by selecting “Check for Update” from the Audio Hijack menu. If you haven’t tried Audio Hijack yet, you can download it here. There’s plenty more on our roadmap, so be sure to stay tuned for further updates as well. Until then, enjoy Audio Hijack 3.0.3!
