Sometimes an application comes along that truly raises the bar in it’s category.
This is true of WireTap Studio, the recently released update to Wiretap from Ambrosia Software. This Macintosh only audio recording and editing app is truly amazing.
The video below will give you a look at what I think makes it so special – real time application of sound effects.
I’m not a sound engineer. I’m never going to be a sound engineer. So, I don’t know what every effect does or what each of the controls do. The only way to know is to try.
In the past, this meant the following: try, wait for the effect to render, try again, wait for the render, take a guess at what I just did wrong, try again, wait for the render. WireTap Studio changes that. Everything is real time. And any effect applied is non-destructive. That means my original sound file is not touched. So, I can experiment with abandon knowing that the original recording is always there to go back to.
Words on paper just won’t do this justice. The video below is not an attempt at a full review of WireTap Studio. This is a quick illustration of it’s real time effect rendering.
