It's easy enough to replay a song if I've missed it on Beats, but not so much when it comes to actual live audio. So I was thrilled to discover Audio Hijack 3 (http://rogueamoeba.com/audiohijack/)'s new "Time Shift" feature, which lets you pause, rewind, and fast forward through live audio.</p> <!--break--> <p>I've been a fan of Audio Hijack for a long time, as it's a hugely useful podcast-recording tool, and its developer, Rogue Amoeba (http://rogueamoeba.com), also happens to be based here in Boston (well, as "based" as a remote company can be). The latest update to the $50 app is awesome for a variety of reasons, but Time Shift is particularly useful for my purposes. (It's based off technology from an older Rogue Amoeba app, Intermission (http://rogueamoeba.com/intermission/), that pauses and rewinds live audio, but lacks Audio Hijack's ability to also record it outright.)</p> <p>I'm most excited, to be honest, to use it for transcription purposes — like today's Apple financial call (http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/15iuhbsdfvuohibwfvohub01/event/), for instance. (After all, it's a lot faster to transcribe an audio call or live stream if you don't have to wait until it's over, and you have a recording, to play and pause.)</p> <h2>How to use Audio Hijack 3 to rewind, fast forward, and pause live audio</h2> <p>Setting up Time Shift is remarkably simple using Audio Hijack's Session Templates.</p> <ol><li>Open Audio Hijack and select "Application Audio" from the Session Template menu.

(By default, iTunes is selected.)

If you don't own Audio Hijack 3 and want to give this a go, you can download a free trial from Rogue Amoeba's website (http://rogueamoeba.com/audiohijack/); you can record or listen to ten minutes of audio without a license key.</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-29616"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/42c1dd55/sc/4/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
