Audio Hijack Pro


With my new revised role as a 'Sound Researcher' for the group...

I have just purchased a copy of 'Audio Hijack Pro' by 'Rogue Amoeba'! (http://rogueamoeba.com/audiohijackpro/).

To simply put it, Audio Hijack captures the audio outputting through your sound card into a data file. You can capture your Skype phone calls, sound bites from DVDs and even sound sources from the internet like YouTube!

Why will this play a big role in our game? Well because of the nature of the game's cultural background, finding 'found sounds' that are related to Japanese comedy and their culture in general is proving difficult indeed. So I have begun to the search for materials that I can personally capture myself.

There are plenty of programs on YouTube, DVDs I own and other materials I shall be working with very soon in order to create as authentic audio experience for our game as possible.

More later...
