I dragged in a recorder block as an output and set it to record a lossless M4A file. I dragged in an Application block as a source and set the application to Music. I opened Audio Hijack and created a blank session. I used Rogue Amoeba’s Audio Hijack to listen to the playback of the file from Music and save it to a perfect digital copy! This sounds like a complex operation but it’s trivially easy to do with Audio Hijack. I noodled the problem and I came upon the obvious solution. I tried exporting from Music, but the exported file wouldn’t open in another app either. He asked me whether I could recover the first 5 minutes so he would only have to rerecord the last 2 minutes. ![]() Since he’d saved directly to the folder on his iMac that syncs to Dropbox, he had no original Amadeus file nor a copy of the original export on his Mac. Now I knew we were in real trouble.īart and I started texting and of course, he was very sad. I listened to the whole thing in Music, only to find that the recording stopped abruptly around 5 min, even though Music said the file was 7 minutes long. I opened it again in Music and it still played there. I tried to open it in Hindenburg, but it reported the same problem. Then I double-clicked the file again and to my horror saw a message that the file couldn’t be opened by QuickTime. I selected Bart’s AIFF file, used ⌘-I to Get Info, changed the Open With to QuickTime, and told it to change all files of this type in QuickTime. Since I create several gigabytes of audio files each week, the last thing I want is copies of those files on my disk. I definitely don’t want audio files opening in Music because it makes a copy in your Music Library. It opened in Music because I hadn’t yet done the trick on this new Mac to tell macOS which app I wanted to use to open audio files. I double-clicked on the uncompressed AIFF file, and it opened in the Music app and I heard his dulcet tones. I checked out the recording using my new MacBook Air where I haven’t yet set up all of my tools. He recorded the segment using the very reliable software Amadeus Pro and saved out an uncompressed AIFF file to his iMac to the Dropbox folder we share. When he needs to put a file in Dropbox, he copies it to his iMac’s Dropbox folder, or he just saves directly to that folder on the iMac. We still don’t know what happened, but by the time it arrived on my end from Bart, the file was broken.īart has Dropbox installed on his iMac but not on his new Mac Studio. ![]() ![]() But this segment almost didn’t make it to the show. On this week’s NosillaCast, Bart Busschots will be telling us about how much he likes the Tefeca watchbands.
