Ambrosia Software has updated WireTap Anywhere— a low latency audio tool that lets you take the audio output from any Mac application or hardware input device and bring it into your favorite audio recording application—to version 1.0.2. The upgrade adds the ability to mute software sources during a recording.
Version 1.0.2 also has speed optimizations (loading time and overhead), additional down-mixing capabilities and other fixes and enhancements. Any program that produces audio can appear as an audio input device, allowing you to record or process it in any other application that can record from a microphone or other audio input device. For instance, you could record both sides of a Skype or iChat conversation directly into Peak for editing—or go the other way, and pipe the audio output of Logic Pro over Skype or iChat for a friend to listen to.
You can create and edit all of your WireTap Anywhere devices from System Preferences. Once your devices are created, just change the input within your favorite audio application, and you’re ready to monitor, process, and record.
With WireTap Anywhere you can mix any combination of applications and input devices into a single, logical device. Select the software or hardware inputs you want, and WireTap Anywhere will handle the rest.
WireTap Anywhere is Universal Binary so runs natively on both PowerPC and Intel Macs. It requires Mac OS X 10.4.11 or later. A demo is available for download. WireTap Anywhere costs US$129 for new users, but version 1.0.2 is a free update for registered users.
