WireTap Studio is a rewrite of the Wiretap Pro application and is aimed as a mid-range solution for anyone who records audio.
What we tried to do with the editor is make something that did 90% of what people do with recorded audio extremely well. We're not competing with Peak or other high end audio products. Again through interviewing people, we determined what things people did with their audio. We then set out to make an audio editor that was really, really good at the things these people did most of the time.
Perhaps most impressive new feature is the real-time audio encoding (QuickTime demo). The product sells for $69.00 with $30 upgrades for existing owners of WireTap Pro, Audio Hijack Pro, or Fission. Free downloadable version is available for trial.
