Introducing Piezo - Charmingly Simple Audio Recording
Boston, MA - Rogue Amoeba is thrilled to introduce Piezo, a charmingly simple audio recorder for Mac OS X. With Piezo, getting started recording audio on your Mac is a snap. Seconds after launch, a single click of the record button can have Piezo recording audio from any application. With beautiful graphics and thoughtful interactions, Piezo is a blast to use.
For almost a decade, Rogue Amoeba's best-selling Audio Hijack Pro has enabled professionals to record any audio on their Macs. It's been battle-tested with millions of hours of use. Built on that same platform, Piezo now enables millions of new users to record any audio, by making this rock-solid recording technology available through the Mac App Store for the first time ever.
Almost any app's audio can be captured in Piezo, just by selecting it as the source. Piezo will grab web streams in Safari or music from services like Spotify and Rdio. If you need to capture sound bites from DVDs or even from movies in iTunes, Piezo can do it. It works with audio devices too, so when a microphone (such as an Apple headset) is connected, Piezo can record that audio right into the Mac.
Piezo requires near zero configuration - just select the desired source and press record to grab its audio. When needed, straightforward settings for the recording's name and audio format are also available. While it's recording, Piezo's alluring retro-modern interface is sure to delight. From beautiful elements like the VU meters to fun interactions like the rolling time display, users will be delighted by the way Piezo looks and the way it works.
For truly simple recording, Piezo can't be beat. In addition to being easy to use, Piezo is easy on the wallet. How easy? Right now, Piezo costs an amazingly low $10.
