TapeIt 2

TapeIt 2 appears to be a very good tool. Its price is also attractive, given the drag and drop, sync recording, trigger options.

As I agree with Sahul, instead of restating the same info, I will rarther focus on the options, which in my opinion would make TapeIt 2 free from any competition.


1.
in play-triggered option, the recording starts only after the first pressing play. to get back to recording after a pause (resulting from host's stopping) you have to click TI's record again. quite good as an option, but allowing a possibility to resume recording whenever playback occurs without confirmation would vastly increase functionality. a setup-and-forget kind, until really needed.

2.
in-sync punch out here would be a miracle. in case of looped material you could easily divide it into parts after such a session. also, reverb tails could be recorded.

3.
in my opinion midi triggering should be combined, as an option, with sync

4. further developed, TapeIt2 might allow midi commands for basic file management, as overwriting the previous recording.

That all said, I admit TapeIt is even now very useful and it's price more than attractive. Only downside is interface, which although looks good and functional, makes me look for the triggering method key over and over each time I use it. But this might be just personal.

Stability - before, Tape It used to stop recording in Cubase SX3 without any apparent symptom (so you ended up with a spoiled session), but 2.3 is finally o'kay.Read Review
