Hi, There's a TidBITS article about digitizing LPs where the author uses Audio Highjack Pro to do the recording and Amadeus Pro to do the editing, as Tim Kilburn outlined. I think that one of the reasons people like to use Audio Hijack Pro in this mode is the low latency when you do the sound capture, and the ease of doing something else with your system while the recording is going on. I've generally just recorded directly to Amadeus Pro. Here's the link to the TidBITS article: • "Media Creation - Transferring Vinyl LPs to Digital: One Approach" by Matt Neuberg 10 Mar 2010 http://tidbits.com/article/11072
Audio Hijack Pro can be used for other functions, as well, including recording separate Skype sessions. There's actually a new version of Audio Hijack Pro that just came out at the beginning of this week, that will now support capturing audio from sandboxed Mac App Store applications. I was going to take a look at it. John Gruber's Daring Fireball feed has a discount coupon for Daring Fireball readers that will work for this week only: DF201202 if you download and purchase the program from the Rogue Amoeba web site: http://rogueamoeba.com/ (As you might guess, the Mac App Store doesn't support coupon promotions or trial downloads.)
