I still can't believe what a low view count Brian gets. He is AMAZING! I hired him to help me, his professionalism and knowledge are stellar. His wisdom fixed all my issues. Audio sounds amazing. Thanks Brian!
Super kind of you, John. It was a pleasure working with you and getting your audio in great space. Your clients and subs are going to be thrilled with your new work.
i know Im asking randomly but does any of you know of a method to log back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot my password. I love any tricks you can offer me!
@@AudioforContentCreators Can I hire you to help me, as well? I just got the FDUCE mic and the Elgato XLR. Using the Elgato Wave Link software and the Wave Stream (vitual mic) results in a severe delay. I found you amazing tutorial in hopes to use it as a work around not resultin in a delay. But again, I get a huge delay. Can you help me?
This app is worth every penny I paid. I just love it.
I can't even tell you how much this video helped me. I'm a complete know nothing beginner trying to figure out how to get my mic into OBS for twitch and every video was aimed at people who clearly at least knew a little bit about what they're doing. Thank you SO MUCH
BRIAN THIS IS AN AMAZING VIDEO AND EXPLAINED VERY WELL! THANK YOU!
Very well-explained tutorial , thanks!
The free limiter plugins mentioned at 11:22 are not in the description, though... Any chance you can add them?
Very good tutorial about HiJack. I am starting to use this software.
Grabbed a copy of both Amoeba tools for my live-streaming audio, and as a hobbyist audio engineer myself, I was so excited about these tools! Thanks for the walkthrough
They're so good.
Great video! very clear.
Monday, 6am, I found exactly what I wanted! Thanks!
Great!
Excellent video tutorial!!!
Thanks for this great tutorial
another great video. i will watch this couple of times more and adjust my eq over time. still, I don't think I can understand the difference when I change the band levels but it is an education for my ears. I will take time to appreciate this knowledge. Cheers,
Great work.
Best explanation...looking to use streamyard and need application audio (browser or system) to stream so I can prepare all my url tab content in advance. I was able to do that just yesterday using free options but no control over the quality of each signal. This seems to be the way to go. Thx. Great job.
I'm a PC/Voicemeeter user, but this was very entertaining and well done! Thanks for all your hard work!
Thanks, Terry!
really good video. I love how descriptive you were. If I ever use Audio Hijack, I'll come back to this video for sure! (Just isnt what I've been looking for, nor do I think there is an application for what Im looking for)
Great info man thanks! Easiest way I’ve found is to just EQ the mic on AudioHijack and then filter everything else on steam labs, like compression, limiter. Sounds pretty good except for not having the greatest ear for the EQ part. I’m always making small tweaks to make it sound better.
Awesome! Good workflow. If you want to master your ability to EQ for tone and fixing problems in background noise, muddy, harsh or nasal sounding voices, etc, check out our course Audio 101 for Content Creators. Link in description.
Thank you sooooo much.
Even though I'm not a MAC user this video was still really fun & interesting to watch, Brian. 😁 👍 👍
Cheers to you, my man! 🍻
Have you tried Voicemeeter? Sounds similar option for Windows.
@@AudioforContentCreators I've not tried it as of yet as the user interface looks a tad intimidating.
@@BenjiDWJ I've got a bunch of Voicemeeter tutorials at my channel (click my avatar - speaking of hijacking!) :-) It has several flavors, but for professional use, I highly recommend starting with the Banana version and learning that. One can get very far with the original Voicemeeter (I recorded a complete user's manual for that), but Banana has more routing capabilities AND a built-in audio recorder.
I am still trying to figure out how to level my online music stream. I will continue to play with these controls until I get it right! Video was helpful in knowledge.
Awesome Sauce And I Think Ill Make The Purchase Just On Your Lesson. Tanks Much. I'm AirMan.
I've had Audio Hijack for years. GREAT to set it up back up.
But I tried and tried and tried to fiddle with BlackHole and other stuff to route my soundboard app as well as my external mic into OBS. Finally broke down and bought Loopback. In 5 minutes I had everything wired into OBS EXACTLY how I wanted it. Best $99 I ever spent.
Now I'm actually spending time fiddling with EQ, Molot compressor, LoudMax Limit, and the Orban Loudness Meter in my Audio Hijack session, tuning audio settings for my next Live Session. Which is what I wanted to be doing a week ago. :)
Tnx.
Amazing. Loopback is such a great piece of UX design.
Audio Hijack is one of the most impressive apps for MacOS in my opinion. Well built, well updated, nice modules and plugin support.
I have the "Magic Boost" sitting in my main-audio-stream. This balances out all the various youtube videos audio and sounds awesome.
Would you mind uploading a tutorial about the scripting part of AH? I'd love to enable / disable the magic-boost via an apple-script (or via the stream deck)
Underrated undersubbed
Much appreciated!
Thank you
buying both because of this video- I've been going crazy trying to get easy ways to record live mics for my drums into Quicktime, or OBS, but end up getting all sorts of weird phasing issues because of the 'direct monitoring'. UAD's console works great for Logic, etc, but it's a pain for a lot of other applications! Thank you for this!
Hey Brian thanks for the video it was incredible, I just need it this video and after that I knew how to use audio hijack, thanks, the only think I would like to see is if you could make a video about if it is possible to use a midi controller to use with audio hijack and even loopback, pls if you could it would be amazing!! Thanks
Dear Sir, Professional Quality Video. also helpful. I'm Connected for furthermore. but i didn't find the level controls you've said to give download link in the description.
Great video. I'm wondering about meeting applications such as Zoom, Teams, etc. I'm routing my XLR mic through a Scarlett 2i2. I can tell Audio Hijack that my input device is the 2i2. As for the Output Device...can I leave the 2i2 as the output device? Or do I need to create the virtual output device (e.g. Soundflower) and point my meeting application to that device? Thanks.
Wow.. Great video and very informative. After I set up my chain and tested it by recording, On the playback, I get like a pause or a type of jump cut, the best way I can think of it. I set up different sessions, using the podcast template and made the basic adjustments then recorded again. On the playback it starts out fine then I get the same pause or drop, or jump cut. Not sure of the correct terminatliy. any suggestions?
Hello ! Just started using Audio-Hijack to record D&D Sessions from Discord. I would love to see a video on the Loopback Program as well as i am super new to all of this. I also wanted to know if there was a way to not hear myself when recording from Discord but to still hear my friends. Looking forward to watching some more videos :)
Thanks
Very well done. What would suggest for a template for someone wanting to record interviews on FB Messenger. Ive tried it a few times using Chrome but they either couldn't hear me or my audio came back delayed through my headphone. Looking forward to more tutorials. I tried FBM because people can be in their vehicle sitting at a bus station etc. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Holy! So I'll be able to drag and drop my eq vst (FabFilter) and it would just work ?
Great video, very useful. I learn a lot! You didn't link the free compressor/limiter you mentioned in the video. Could you recommend some of them or where to search for those please?
Here's a great free one: audiotools.se/downloads/leveling-tool/
P.S. I noticed you joined Audio 101. Great to have you!
@@AudioforContentCreators Thanks for the plugin and I'm enjoying your course.
Using Audio Hijack, can you take a song playing on , for example, soundcloud or youtube and direct it straight to a DAW ( e.g. Logic, Cubase etc. ) as an audio track ?
a question do you how a can automatic'spaly a list in audio hijack or how to program them to play a different time?
Great video! As a musician rather than podcaster and using Ecamm Live I have started with my vocal mic, and a guitar mic (AT3035) + blend with L.R. Baggs Venue DI, 3 inputs into Yamaha MG16XU then stereo out thru USB into MBP which has the Ecamm software. Do you think the HiJack as computer input and mixer/processor (with its abilities + potential plug-ins) then into Ecamm would ADD even more, “level up”, to being able to achieve even better audio quality? Combination of potential streaming projects and audio/video recordings for uploads. Thanks! Sorry for the long question! And a new subscriber to your channel.🙏🏻
Hi Greg, and thanks for joining the community! You’re welcome to share your work on the Content Creator Connection group on Facebook as well. As to your question, it sounds like you’ve got a solid signal chain for music. What Audio Hijack will allow you to do is add dynamic processing to the entire signal chain, like compression and limiting, to get your output levels up to Internet streaming standards (and avoid clipping during streaming).
using this with streamyard will this make other guest on your podcast sound better?
Hey any notes latency added when using Hijack ? Is it really recorded in real time as I’m ON time? Thx!
Is there a way to get a de-Esser in AH or Loopback? I'm new to all this so this question is most likely foolish lol.
Good video, but how would I use Audio Hijack to play music for an internet radio station?
Not seeing the free / open source limiter links. Would be great if you could update the description notes to include options.
If I want to stream my logic pro X sound as an audio input for discord, do you think audio hijack alone would allow me to monitor logic ??
I just commented on your Waves Debreath tutorial, which was excellent!
Can Debreath be added to the Audio Hijack chain for livestreaming?
Thanks so much!
I'm sure it could be but it might cause a delay. Repair plugins tend to have latency because they need to look ahead a fair amount. I wouldn't trust it real-time.
Hello , Please I want to make my voice a little rough in audio hijack , plz answer me as soon as possible
Does Audio Hijack can remove the vocal from music?
how did you connect hijack to soundflower software?
Used Audio Hijack eons ago to record Skype calls for a defunct podcast.
Dusting it off, license is still good!
Installed and hunting for a HOWTO on Live Streaming to my YT channel. Who has a video EXACTLY on this? Brian Miller, of course!
Glad to help!
HI..WHAT INSER PLUG INS OF ADOBE AUDITION IN AUDIO HIJACK...PLEASE HELP ME
Thank you for the clear demo! Audio Hijacking is new to me and it looks really promising for podcasting. Is there a way to record an interview with both ends recorded locally though? That would be my ideal outcome. That way you don't lose any of the conversation even when the wifi is cutting out!
Always double-end your audio! You should each use Audio Hijack (or even Quicktime, which is free) to record your audio locally. Make sure you're each using identical settings: 48khz, 24bit wav. Then simply sync in post and edit!
@@AudioforContentCreators Thank you. I just tried double ending and my guest still managed to not record the first half of the interview lol. Good reminder about the settings!
@@adelaineng1350 In my experience the guest - unless they are a podcaster or something similar - will quickly become frustrated with extra steps. Yes, you can use AH to capture your Zoom or Skype audio in one file and your voice in the other.
@@SteveHolstein Are you also clicking record button through zoom or only recording by way of AH?
Thanks for the video. Where can I buy/download the L1 limiter and other plugins? Thanks
Waves.com
@@AudioforContentCreators thank you so much!
Can this be used with Streamyard?
Do i have to end with an output?
Thanks for the great video Brian. Cannot believe the low views - what gives? This vid is spot on and super easy to follow.
Just have a question/advice.... So in the lockdown stages of our lives I am running a LOT of meetings from home and wanted to improve sound quality from my headset. I do need to use a headset as others live in the house. Your video describes how to do this with EQ and output to a "virtual mic." But just wanted to make sure this is all I needed before taking the plunge. I would like to - adjust my voice eq, the IO levels, cancel out home background noises and output to meeting software (eg zoom). Optionally, would be great to get some of my voice fed back into headset, like in a studio, if that is at all possible. I'm MAC only user. What do I need?
Great questions. I'll get you a detailed answer shortly.
Hi John, thanks so much for these questions. Here's the short answer (full answer would require a video). You need an audio interface to be the hub of your system. Common recommendations these days are the Presonus Audiobox USB and Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. Run an XLR or 1/4 mic into the unit, which connects to your computer via USB. Plug your headphones into the headphone jack on the interface (1/4 stereo TRS usually - if you're using headphones with a 3.5mm jack, you'll need an adapter plug). Then use the "Mix" or "Monitor" knob on the interface to adjust the mix between hearing your own voice vs the computer audio. Usually 50% is a good place to start. Inside Audio Hijack set the input source to your interface and be sure to set both channels to which ever physical input you're using on the interface (so that your stereo signal consists of an identical L/R, which is your mic, now in dual mono). Run your EQ, limiter, etc after that. Now, in order to have a virtual output that Zoom or streaming software will recognize, you can either go the free route with Soundflower, which is open source but not user-friendly, or purchase Loopback from Amoeba, which is pricey but has a beautiful and intuitive user interface for really cool internal audio routing options. Send your output block to either Soundflower or Loopback. Then inside your streaming software or Zoom, choose that as the "mic." And voila! Super easy, barely an inconvenience 😂
@@AudioforContentCreators Awesome response Brian. Thank you so so much. I am a musician and have a home studio setup, so understand the audio interface component and how the mixing you have outlined would work - great stuff thanks!
In relation to the noise cancelling, is this just a plugin available inside Hijack, Iike a noise gate?, that I simply drag into place like you did with the limiter in your vid?
Edit: I just found an old vid that might have answered the above, Audio Highjack Pro included an effect from Apple called: "Dynamics Processor" that works like a noise gate. So if that effect was carried over or upgraded in the newer version, it seems I'm good to go?
@@mgatwentyfirstcentury4235 Great! Yes, there is a noise removal plugin as well as a gate.
@@AudioforContentCreators Awesome. Plunging in now, I'll let you know how it turns out.
Does the levels only show when you press record ?
Well, sort of. The levels only show when you’ve engaged the chain. You can turn off the recorder and keep the chain activated for your levels, only turning on the recorder when you actually want to record.
Does this have to be done through a virtual output like SOUNDFLOWER? Or can I go directly to my main macbook output?
You send to anywhere, virtual or physical outputs.
@@AudioforContentCreators Understood. But when I send to "Built in output" the effects are not showing up in Streamyard. Do I have to use the virtual output for the effects to show up in Streamyard?
@@Awthentik Where are you trying to send the effects chain to? If it's directly to Streamyard, you need a virtual microphone like Loopback or Soundflower. If it's outboard gear, like a digital USB mixer, use the output settings.
@@AudioforContentCreators Streamyard. I was looking to avoid the whole virtual mic/cable thing. Got you. Thank you so much
@@Awthentik Sure thing. Using a virtual mic is the absolute smoothest, most seamless way to do real-time effects processing on your voice while live streaming. Grab Loopback from Amoeba if you want to really make your life easy. It's worth it.
Can this be used alongside discord to stream your voice?
Yes!
Thank you
Thanks Brian, although you may have just cost me some money......I may have to make a purchase 😆 thankfully it’s tax deductibility 👍🏻😀
Ah man, Stu, I felt the same way when I found Hijack. I use it constantly now. It's taken the place of opening my DAW just to record a quick track for a video or native capture while recording remote interviews.
i cant install this it says something about privacy and cant find it to allow it idk what to do
It's in your privacy settings on an iMac or Macbook. You have to allow 3rd party apps.
What if you just want to stream without recording?
Then don't use the recording module :)
Hey buddy....I'm experiencing latency while monitoring which makes it impossible to play instruments. Can you help?
What's your signal chain?
@@AudioforContentCreators Bless you for responding so quickly! Okie doke...I have a Scarlett 2I2 running through audio hijack and utilizing loopback. I have a program that's similar to OBS that I use to broadcast my LIVE streams through an imac so I have set my output in Audio Highjack to my program.
Are you monitoring your instruments directly from the 2i2? In other words, headphones plugged into the box and monitoring directly? Or are you trying to monitor from Audio Hijack or Loopback?
@@AudioforContentCreators Well I had my phones plugged into the scarlett and was using direct monitoring then I turned that off and used loopback with my headphones while still plugged into the scarlett however direct monitoring on the scarlett turned off. Then I tried to plug my headphones directly into my imac headphone port using loopback and was still experiencing latency. Thank you for helping!
You want to monitor directly from the 2i2. Then make sure in Loopback you're not sending the audio from the 2i2 back to the 2i2. Easy mistake to make in Loopback.
What is your signal chain within Looback? Check each step.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
no matter what i do i dont hear the changes
Because you're monitoring at the source, not post-processing. Record what you're doing in Audio Hijack. Stick the recorder Module at the end of the chain. Set it to uncompressed audio. Then record your changes and listen back.
