Johan: Thanks for the kind words!

Forrest Snyder: It's less "didn't imagine it would be used that way" and more "didn't design it to be used that way", but the end result is the same. It's somewhat akin to using a flathead screwdriver to turn a Phillips head screw - it may work, but it's not what the tool was made to do, and it won't be a great experience.

Now, as far as making a tool with this type of use in mind, or modifying Audio Hijack to better accomodate that use case, that's certainly something we'll consider for the future. As to the main point of keeping everything in one window, it's certainly noted, though we don't agree that that's the best design.

Jeff: Thanks for the kind words. As for Silence Monitor, this was a feature that many found confusing, which ultimately led us to remove it when we simplified many things in version 3. We've since heard from plenty of passionate users who loved it, warts and all. It's likely you'll see it return in the future, so keep an eye out for updates.
