i did a direct comparison Audio Hijack / Fission, and it was way faster and nicer to work.

and its cheaper. Mac OS X 10.5.2 or later only  
(Version 2.9.1)

AV  Excellent. Ive always found it does what i want and is easy to setup. Recommended.  
(Version 2.9.1)

DANIEL PAGE  Excellent program. Very easy to use, and good feature set. Ability to use AU effects is great, I can run a mastering plugin in realtime to get the levels nice and high. I use the program to record my student's guitar lessons, and then I email them the file right after the lesson. Using AAC encoding to 16kbps mono, I have manageable file sizes, plus using the AU effects I can get excellent compressed audio quality. If I screw up, accidentaly recording too long, I can click a button to open the file in an audio editor (for me, Fission), to edit the file and get it right. Rogue Amoeba make some of the most useful little audio applications out there.

As I understand, the big competing program is Wiretap Studio. That is a good program too, but I feel that Audio Hijack is a little bit more lightweight, and very useful for when you need to have the program encode and record everything in realtime. You would want wiretap studio if you wanted to be able to record a "dry" version, which you could edit later. That could certainly be useful in certain cases, but for my needs, I set up an Audio Hijack preset with all the effect settings just right, and then I don't need to edit anything after the fact, and the file can be in my student's email inbox before they get home from their lesson. Really priceless stuff!

PAT320  I run tiger, and since severals version (2.7, 2.8 don't remember exactly), AHJ crashed every time when quiting, after any hijack sessions. Irritating!

Don't know why, but I guess it is since leopard compatibility?

This new 2.9 doesn't crash anymore, so I'm an happy user again!  
(Version 2.9)

MACLOVER1.1  Tool of choice to digitize my Vinyls, fix the sound with my plugin presets and obtain great digital audio files... love it !  
(Version 2.8.3)

STEVEN GOODHEART  Huzzah, Instant Hijacking is back! No more having to quick iTunes, or whatever, to start 'jacking!

This is one of my all-time favorite programs. It's always been rock solid, and is powerful and versatile. Can't recommend enough.  
(Version 2.8.2)

BOSIE  New Movie Recording from Quicktime using iSight on a brand new MacPro failed after installing Audio Hijack. I had to remove the instant hi-jack plug-in and reinstall Quicktime to get it working again. OSX 10.5.2  
(Version 2.8.1)

JOHN SAWYER CJS  That was a pretty quick fix for the printing & ssh bugs I reported earlier! (Then again there were people reporting it directly to the developer).  
(Version 2.8.1)

PFACKELMANN  Some versions ago Audio Hijack Pro would show a red alert when sessions with overlapping time schedules were set, e.g.:

Session A Same Player Friday 19:00 h - 20:00 h

Session B Same Player Friday 19:30 h - 20:00 h.

This disappeared but in case I miss something I would appreciate a hint (which I didn't get from Rogue Amoeba).

JOHN SAWYER CJS  Latest reports are that the current version of Instant Hijack conflicts with Apple's Security Update 2008-002, preventing some printers from working, and interfering with some ssh operations. Either don't install Security Update 2008-002 until Instant Hijack/AHP is updated, or remove Instant Hijack after installing the current version of AHP, until it's been updated.
