Rogue Amoeba Does It Again
The wacky developers over at Rogue Amoeba, makers of the super-duper mega-useful Audio Hijack and Audio Hijack Pro, have done it again with their release today of Detour. Detour is $12 shareware ($10 thru the end of July 2003.) Here's a bit from their press release:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 3rd, 2003
Rogue Amoeba Unveils Detour - Take A Different Path With Your Audio
Princeton, NJ - Rogue Amoeba Software is announcing the immediate availability of Detour, our newest audio utility for Mac OS X. Detour provides the ability to choose the audio output device and relative volume for all of your applications - a capability never before seen on OS X that will appeal to users of all types. From serious audio pros to the computer music lover in all of us, Detour provides the control over your sound that you've always wanted.
With Detour, you can send iTunes music and DVD Player sound to an external set of speakers or headphones while keeping noises from iChat and other programs coming out of the computer's smaller built-in speaker. Keep your music distraction-free and never again be jarred out of a groove session.
Detour can also be used to lower the volume of some applications relative to others. Even users with just one system output will benefit from Detour. Use Detour to lower the volume on your email notifications so they don't cut through music and movies - or selectively mute programs which insist on making noise you don't need to hear.
I own a license for Audio Hijack Pro and have found it to be an invaluable tool. I look forward to adding Detour to my OS X audio toolbox!
