Audio Hijack is now configured and ready to go. One quirk for the keyboard shortcut to work is that you can only have one Audio Hijack session saved - the one we just set up. If you've created any other sessions in the process, make sure those are deleted before moving on.

Next, we need to roll several commands - opening Audio Hijack, starting to record, navigating back to your app in use - into a single automated task by using a workflow service in MacOS’s Automator. You don’t need to learn how to do this from scratch because I’ve linked the workflow file below, called pATCHES Instant Audio Capture. Also included is another workflow called pATCHES Stop Recording to stop the recording and shut down Audio Hijack. Click Automator's robot to download the files. It's kinda cute, isn't it?
