Record Audio From Any Mac OS X Application

Posted by pudge on from the mmmm-audio dept.

MrFreak writes "Have you ever wanted to grab a sound from DVD Player or record a RealMedia stream to AIFF? It's previously been impossible to do this digitally, but the folks at Rogue Amoeba have released a piece of software called Audio Hijack that allows you to record audio from any OS X application. Additionally, it can apply live audio effects to any application, so you can add an equalizer to MAME or play Quake 3 with a live echo or flanger effect."

    Is there any real reason you'd want to do this? the audio is there already, you're just duplicating data.

      Because as the site says, it frees you from proprietary audio formats. So now, you can record a real stream or file into AIFF, convert to MP3, and take it on your ipod.
