If you don’t do this, Hijack will ask you to quit and relaunch your program, and will often do it for you if you don’t do it yourself. You have to make sure you open your application up AFTER you open Audio Hijack. But it can make your recordings a little unprofessional.Īnyway, sometimes this will not work. Once again, if you’re editing the clip anyway, it doesn’t really matter. This means there will be a small gap of silence in the time it takes you to do this. Then you have to find your application and play the sound/video. This is why:įirst you click Hijack, then “Record”. The sound itself will be good quality, but there will be a small gap of silence at the beginning of your clip. Then you just decide where you want the saved recordings to show up, and what you want their name to be.Īfter selecting this, you open up your Quick Time Player movie.
Under “Recording”, you’ll want it to be high quality, usually for internet distribution (because MP3 files are the most compatible).
I will be stripping the sound off of a video that uses Quick Time Player, so that’s what I choose. So I go to the drop down menu on the right and select my application. Application? Audio Device? AM/FM Radio? System Audio? In this case, it’s an Application. Under “Input”, it will have a drop down menu that lists what you want. It looks like this when “Quick Record” is highlighted:Īnd the important stuff you need is this: This is pretty standard for Macs across the board. MOV files that open up in QuickTime Player. As I have no use for the video, I decided to use Audio Hijack to record the sound from the video.Īfter importing my videos onto my computer, they are.
To record my soundscape, I used my Kodak point-and-shoot, which records video. I’ve used it to record “audio tapes” of my stories, and the quality is actually pretty good.Īnyway, there are multiple ways you can strip the sound off of videos, but Audio Hijack is a pretty simple– albeit rough– way of doing it.
You don’t even need to hear it on your computer, considering you can use your computer’s microphone as well. So if you can hear it on your computer, you can record it with this device. It can also take sound off any application that you use on your computer. There is also a version that you can pay for if you want to record things that last longer than ten minutes, but considering how huge MP3 files are if they run over ten minutes, I’m usually okay with the ten minutes it gives me.Īudio Hijack can be used for converting anything to useable MP3s, and that includes your computer’s internal microphone (or an external one, if you’ve got it). There may be a PC version, but I have not yet found it. Audio Hijack is a free program for your Mac that you can download here.
