Most users never see grid coordinates and wouldn't know if their blocks are on whole numbers or not. The grid allows positioning blocks on quarter unit increments. So a block at 1x, 1y and another at 2x, 1y are next to each other and as close together as they can be. The block size corresponds to 1 unit of the grid. We'll be trying to turn this information into a knowledge base article for VO users soon, so if you wish to provide feedback on this explanation, please do! I'll explain a few things as best I can and hopefully it'll start to make sense to you.
This is probably very obvious to look at, but just hearing it, I can't see the logic. What exactly does the grid signify? I get that it is a visual layout of the audio chain, but how do the numbers VoiceOver reports explain what is where? That is, while audio flows from left to right (thus larger x values are later in the chain), what is the y axis for? Why are numbers reported to the hundredths place? It seems like whole numbers would be faster to listen to and give just as much positional information. Some blocks have both a popover and controls on their face.ģ. You can use VO-spacebar or just spacebar to open popovers, escape or spacebar to close them. Some blocks don't have a popover, just controls on their face (VO interact with the block to visit them). I know that blocks have popovers, but how do I access them? Perhaps I just haven't yet used a block with one, but I see no way to do this, and vo-shift-m (the control-click command in VoiceOver) does nothing. The exception again is that pasting one block when there is already one selected block will paste at that selected block’s location, bumping the existing block to the right.Ģ. In cases where you copy existing blocks from the audio grid, they remember the position they were in when copied, and aim for that position again when pasted. Use cursor keys or VO navigation keys to jump back and forth after pasting and it’ll be selected. One important detail: In the current build, a newly pasted block is not selected as the VO target - making this more confusing than in should be. When pasting a block copied from the library, it’ll either paste at position 1x, 1y, or alternatively, if a block in the audio grid is already selected, it’ll paste on top of that block and the existing block will then be bumped one position to the right. How do I know where a block will go when I paste it into the grid? Are there keystrokes to more easily move blocks around once pasted? Look for a podcast on the application soon.ġ. This is just a little info to get you started. Here is an excerpt a friend sent me from a blog post by one of the developers sorry I do not have the original source. One nice thing about this new version of Audio Hijack is you do not need the LineIn app any longer. The one thing to keep in mind is that Audio Hijack 3 uses a grid interface where you assemble audio blocks to build the chain. Although Audio Hijack is very accessible, some may need a little time to be acclimated to the interface and especially for those who may be familiar with earlier versions.
