Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / May 2007WireTap vs Audio Hijack?
Looking for something to record some audio streams, and was leaning toward purchasing Audio Hijack, but wondered if anyone liked WireTap better. I have Amadeus, so I don't think that I need Audio Hijack Pro for editing. Thanks, PE > Looking for something to record some audio streams, and was leaning > toward purchasing Audio Hijack, but wondered if anyone liked WireTap > better. If my knowledge of these apps is still current, Audio Hijack is superior because it can record from a single application. If you are recording off RealPlayer, for example, Audio Hijack can record the RealPlayer stream and exclude every other app on the system. WireTap, on the other hand, might bring you lots of surprises. You use WireTap to record RealPlayer, and you forget that you have Mail, Chat, and other apps running, so when you listen to your WireTap recording you don't just get your music, you also hear system beeps, new-mail sounds, and chat alert noises inextricably embedded into your music. It's possible that WireTap is smarter now, so you might want to verify that. >> Looking for something to record some audio streams, and was leaning >> toward purchasing Audio Hijack, but wondered if anyone liked WireTap [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > It's possible that WireTap is smarter now, so you might want to verify > that. I'm an enthusiastic supporter of Audio Hi-Jack. It has myriad filtering, eq-ing pitch modification and such. Jillions of plug-ins. It can record FROM myriad programs and as indicated above, will isolate audio incoming to that one program. You can configure a timer so that it will record from a specific locale, websites, etc beginning and ending at specific times, is fully apple-scriptable, can be used to record podcats, from LP's, produces myriad output file types, in your specified folders, and so forth. The program is quite "mature", as they say. I think both programs come in demo versions. I suggest you try them. From the above you have at least two Wiretap fans that admit they don't know Audio HiJack. I know Audio HiJack and admit I don't know Wiretap. So try them both and you tell US which is better! Actually I like damned near everything programmed by Rogue. That's a big consideration for me: a company/programmer I have a lot of trust and respect for.  SignatureThank you and have a nice day. > > Looking for something to record some audio streams, and was leaning > > toward purchasing Audio Hijack, but wondered if anyone liked WireTap [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > It's possible that WireTap is smarter now... It's not. I've been using it for a year or so and that's my only real complaint. > Looking for something to record some audio streams, and was leaning > toward purchasing Audio Hijack, but wondered if anyone liked WireTap [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > PE I have a copy of Audio Hijack but have not used it so can't make a comparison. I also have a copy of Wiretap Pro and I use it often and like it. While I sit at my desk and work (in a country where I can't speak the language) it helps to have an English-language radio station playing to keep me company. (I choose 4KQ from Brisbane, Australia because they play exactly my kind of music <http://4kq.com.au>) I have Wiretap on my desktop so that, if I hear a song I like, it takes only milliseconds to start the recording process. I have nothing negative to say about it. > > Looking for something to record some audio streams, and was leaning > > toward purchasing Audio Hijack, but wondered if anyone liked WireTap [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > only milliseconds to start the recording process. I have nothing > negative to say about it. I will second WireTap. Very nice. However, I cannot compare to Audio Hijack since I have never used the later. Just a happy customer of WT. |
