JUST ARRIVED: LOOPBACK
EFTA00629759
Just five days ago, we unveiled a brand-new application, Loo,)Duc It's a tool that
makes it easy to pass audio from one application to another on your computer.
With Loopback, you can create virtual audio devices to take the sound from
applications and audio input devices, then send it to audio processing
applications. Loopback makes it easy to arrange complex audio setups that were
difficult or even impossible before. It's the power of a high-end studio mixing
board, right inside your Mac!
Loopback also makes a great companion for Audio Hijack. While both Loopback
and Audio Hijack capture audio from applications and devices, they serve
different purposes. With Audio Hijack, you can make a recording with the audio
captured from input devices and apps, saving it to a file. With Loopback, you can
grab audio from those same sources, input devices and apps, then pass it to
another application.

You can learn more from the Hon oos: announcing Loopback, as well as on the
Loopback page.
Loopback's regular price is $99, but through the end of January, newsletter
readers (that's you!) pay even less - just $69!
Use coupon code LBNEWS in our store to get Loopback for just $69!
Macworld just gave Loopback a glowing 4.5 mice review. Nice!
ROCK OUT WITH AIRFOIL SATELLITE FOR iOS
EFTA00629761
We also recently shipped Airfoil Satellite for iOS, a brand-new (and entirely free!)
iOS companion app for Airfoil. You can use it on your iOS devices - that's
iPhones, iPads, and iPods Touch — to receive audio from a Mac or PC running
AI, 10 .
Airfoil Satellite replaces our previous iOS receiving application, Airfoil Speakers
Touch. We recommend all Airfoil users on iOS 7 and later download Airfoil
Satellite immediately. It features a thoughtfully -redesigned interface comprised of
gorgeous retina-quality graphics. The app looks and works great on all modern
devices, from a 3.5" iPod Touch to a gigantic iPad Pro.

2015 IN REVIEW
The year started off right, with perhaps our biggest software
update yet, the release of Audio Hijack 3. Audio Hijack 3 is a huge
leap forward for our audio recording tool, and it really has to be
seen to be believed. Suffice it to say that if you've ever used Audio
Hijack or Audio Hijack Pro, you should definitely have a look at
Audio Hijack 3. Get more details and grab the free trial right from
ocil LC'.
You can also read February's very popular "Evolution of Audio Hijack" post, which
details how we got to the final design for our new application. There are many pretty
pictures to see, as well as some not-so-pretty ones.
In March, I spoke at NS Conference 7 in Leicester, England. That talk, entitled
"Feedback Driven Development" is now available online. It covers a lot of how we
do things here at Rogue Amoeba, including listening to what users like you want.
The summer saw two major updates to Audio Hijack 3, with rers o- 3 ' and version
:.2. These updates brought back some features folks familiar with Audio Hijack Pro
2 had been missing, like the ability to pause, stop, or cut recording based on silence
("Silence Monitoring" ) as well as file actions for handling recordings after they've
been made. There were also some major new features, including powerful changes
to the Time Shift block to assist you when you're transcribing audio, as well as
improving the processes for importing and exporting Sessions so you can share your
Audio Hijack configurations with ease.
We also unveiled a companion book for Audio Hijack, "Take
Control of Audio Hijack", written by audio expert Kirk
McElhearn. It's a great sidekick for Audio Hijack, sure to help
you get the most out of our audio recorder. It offers detailed
instructions for common tasks, as well as an in-depth look on
some key features.
Interested? Get details and a free sample of the book right here.
When you're ready, you can purchase the book through our store.

July featured a momentous occasion for perhaps one of our most recognizable
employees. In fact, if you've written in for support in the past half-decade, its
extremely likely you were assisted by our man Chris Barajas. We were delighted to
celebrate his fifth anniversary with the company.
Mac OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) shipped on September 30th, and our
software was ready when it did. You can always ensure you have
our latest versions by choosing "Check for Update" right inside the
app, or by downloading from
In November, we :.(, Loi-c (1 our new designer, Neale Van Fleet. We were sad to see
former designer Christa leave, but Neale picked up right where she left off. His first
work could be seen just a month later, with some improvements he made to the
aforementioned Airfoil Satellite. Much more is coming!

We closed out the year with some incredible praise. The new Audio Hijack was
selected as iMore's "Mac App of the Year", and we were tremendously honored. We
followed that up by being awarded a Golden Apple from AppleVis and being included
on several lists of ojc.p pt, 'or , . It's safe to say that Audio Hijack 3 is our
most critically-acclaimed software release ever! If you haven't made time to cl pc t
cc.: yet, or you still haven't upgraded from an older Audio Hijack, don't hesitate.
That was 2015 for Rogue Amoeba. It was a darned good year!
