Ambrosia Releases Wiretap Studio 1.0

Ah-ha! Thanks!

It speaks well of the company for you to be fielding questions, Andrew.

One last (ha!) thing....is there any visual cue that a scheduled recording is going on? I assume if I am recording a radio show on iTunes, I have to have it on and running at the time of the recording...so I have to leave it playing even when I am out, etc.

Yes, you will see an "On Air" icon flash on the session's icon in the Recording Sessions window when it is actively recording.

Unfortunately, I think you are running into a bug that slipped through the QA cycle. If you create a new session, schedule it, and then click on OK... it will not start when it should.

The fix is to open up the session, edit it, then click on OK. And it'll work from then on. It's a stupid error, and I apologize that it made it through our QA process. We'll be fixing it shortly in 1.0.1.

I'm just not getting recording based on time.

The site says you can record multiple streams..but if you want two stations off iTunes, there appears to be no way to do it, as it seems like it'll only record whatever's playing on iTunes (or whatever source you are using). So if you want two stations, both couldn't be on the same source.

And, again, there appears to be no way to set up a session to record unless you leave that source playing what you want to record.

Is this making any sense?

Ah yes... I see what you're trying to do. You can record as many streams simultaneously as you like, but they need to be from separate applications. So you cannot record two streams from iTunes, but you could record a stream from iTunes, and a stream from, say, RealAudio Player at the same time.

HOWEVER you could just duplicate the iTunes application, and launch the original iTunes for stream #1, and the copy of iTunes for stream #2... and that should work fine.

All of the applications out there that record audio from applications, WireTap Studio included, do so on a per-application basis.

WireTap Studio's LivePreview coulda saved 'em:

So the Van Halen keyboards on "Jump" were 146.7 cents sharp 1200 * log2( 48 / 44.1 ) -- so with a little pitch shifting to compensate in WTS, here's the fixed version of the keyboards and what they *should* have sounded like:

Fixed Van Halen keyboards

Too funny. I'm sure some sound engineer somewhere got fired over this one.

I am looking to purchase this software for recording my DJ mixes. I have a few questions about the editing part. If a mix is recorded and certain beats are not perfect can bit of the audio be deleted easily?

At the moment I have been using Audacity which I have found totally unreliable, seems to crash alot which when you have done a 2 hour mix is to say the least!!! Is this program more stable??
