Audio Hijack is a great solution for Mac users who want to broadcast live on their radio stations.\u00a0The great thing about this software is that it can be used for a number of different purposes, including broadcasting a live call from Skype!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Download Audio Hijack<\/a>\n

If you use Windows<\/strong>, we invite you to take a look at this article<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Launch Audio Hijack<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Open audio hijack and click on new session > voice chat. <\/strong>A\u00a0template specifically designed to record voice chats will appear.<\/p>\n

\"\"

This configuration will capture audio from both a connected microphone<\/strong> and a remote<\/strong> caller. <\/strong>It\u00a0splits the audio from participants between the left and right channels and broadcasts it over the Internet, without playing your own voice back to you.<\/p>\n

Click on the Output Device Block<\/strong> to choose your output source.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/h3><\/div>\n
We strongly advise you to use headphones with an integrated microphone.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\"\"

Configure your Radio Station<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Configure your radio station by dragging in the broadcast block <\/strong>and attaching it to the recorder block. Click on the block and go to the setup tab <\/strong>in order to enter your live connection information.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Remember:<\/strong><\/span> You can find your live connection information under the Live Tab<\/a> of your Radio Manager.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Here’s an example of what your set up should look like:<\/p>\n

\"\"

Configure Skype<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you don’t already have Skype<\/strong> on your computer you’ll need to download it and create your account.<\/p>\n

We suggest that you create a Skype account with the name of your radio station (example<\/span><\/em><\/strong>: contact@myradio.com). It will look more professional when you share your account information with your listeners!<\/p>\n

Download Skype<\/a>\n

By default, Audio Hijack applies the correct settings to the Skype Block<\/strong>, so there’s nothing else you need to do!<\/p>\n

Broadcast Live<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Once you have completed all the steps above, you are ready to launch your live broadcast and have your listeners call in via Skype!<\/span><\/p>\n

To launch your live broadcast, click on the red button<\/strong> in the bottom left hand corner.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Simply answer the Skype call on your computer as usual<\/strong>, when your call is connected you should be able to see movements between the blocks in Audio Hijack!<\/p>\n

\"\"

You’ll find the recording of your live broadcast by clicking on the Recordings<\/strong> button in the bottom right-hand corner of the software.<\/p>\n

Here are the detailed descriptions of each block used in this set up:<\/p>\n
