Audio Hijack 1.0, May be a savior for some of you... Options

[Levon River]

A new audio program for OS X has popped up in VersionTracker. Here's a bit from its "ReadMe":

============Begin Excerpt

What it is:
Audio Hijack provides extra sugar for all your ear candy. Use it to enhance or record the audio output of ANY application on your Mac*.

What it can do:
Audio Hijack can add DSP effects to any application which outputs audio content, in addition to recording the audio for later use. The following is just a brief list of what Audio Hijack can be used for:

-Add an Equalizer to DVD Player, RealOne, Windows Media Player, and any other application to create the perfect movie watching environment.
-Tweak even those low quality Real and Windows Media audio files to perfection with your own combination of our DSP plugins.
-Turn on the Reverb and Echo effects, creating a live sound to make your favorite artists sing just for you! Barry White is practically in your bedroom.
-Sing along to your favorite music videos using the Karaoke plugin!
-Add bass to your game sounds for a life-like rumble. Feel your enemies approaching from behind in Quake!
-Increase the volume of one application, such as your music player, above all your other applications via the Double Gain plugin.

Looks like somebody is starting to pump the Core Audio services a bit, and the program includes some free VST effects. This may be just what the doctor ordered for some of you who have been looking for a way to use DSP on recorded audio.

Incredible program...


Very cool if you are listening to a mix and trying to sweeten it a little bit and bounce that to aiff.

A life saver.
Should be part of the OS
