How to set up Audio Hijack Pro for Podcasting
These are straight-forward step-by-step instructions based on Hugo Schotmann’s podcasting setup.
1. Open Audio Hijack Pro and create a new Session using the “+” button at the bottom left of the window. Name the session “Mic Input => SF2”.
Select “Audio Device” from the drop-down menu in the right pane.
For “Input Device” choose where you microphone is plugged into (on my Powerbook it’s “Built-in Audio: Line In). If you’re using the internal mic, choose that, if a iSight, choose that.
For “Output Device” choose “Soundflower (2ch)”.
2. Create a new Session using the “+” button at the bottom left of the window. Name the session “SF2 => SF16”.
Select “Audio Device” from the drop-down menu in the right pane.
For “Input Device” choose “Soundflower (2ch)”.
For the “Output Device” choose “Soundflower (16ch)”
3. Create a new Session using the “+” button at the bottom left of the window. Name the session “SF16 => Record”.
Select “Audio Device” from the drop-down menu in the right pane.
For “Input Device” choose “Soundflower (16ch)”.
For the “Output Device” choose “Built-in Audio: Headphones”
Choose the “Recording” tab at the bottom of the window. For “Format” choose MP3 (High). Set the location where you want to save your recordings, what to name them, etc.
4. Create a new Session using the “+” button at the bottom left of the window.
Select “Application” from the drop-down menu in the right pane. Then using the drop down menu on the far right, Select SKYPE from the list. If it’s not listed, choose “Select Application” and navigate to Skype.
