Recently while looking for a way to alter and EQ my speakers and boost the gain (to get even more from my sound card on my Mac G5), I found a neat little app entitled called Audio Hijack Pro. Essentially this little app allows you to route the audio from any application to their software before it goes to the computer speakers. This gives you a complete set of inline tools ranging from EQ to gain control, as well as format conversion and recording of that same audio stream.

So whether you want to tweak a little more volume from iTunes or recapture an online audio source, this is the app to check out. The demo is free and completely functional allowing recording times of up to 10 mins. If longer recordings are desired you will need to purchase a license, which is available for $32 at the same site. At the time of this short review there is currently no solution available for the Windows platform.
