SuperMegaUltraGroovy and toastycode Announce TapeDeck 1.1
"We are especially excited about the YouTube uploading feature," says Chris Liscio, SuperMegaUltraGroovy's founder. "Our users can now share their recordings with the world without leaving TapeDeck." The YouTube version of a TapeDeck tape contains the original audio recording accompanied by an animation of the tape cassette as seen during playback in TapeDeck's user interface. "I've never seen anything like this before on YouTube," Liscio added.
The wide range of audio file formats that, thanks to QuickTime, are supported by TapeDeck 1.1 makes sharing tapes across platforms even easier. "Our users made it clear that they wanted to email tapes to their Windows-using friends and family, and we listened," Liscio says.
Since its launch, the most surprising source of interest in TapeDeck has been professional users: musicians and engineers who love being able to lay down a track at any time with a single click. That's why TapeDeck 1.1 increases the recording fidelity of its high- and medium-quality presets to a maximum of 320 kbps for HQ recordings. "We have a lot of musicians using TapeDeck to quickly record their ideas, and they want to make sure that if they catch something wonderful on tape, it's captured as faithfully as possible."
TapeDeck 1.1 is a free upgrade for registered users, and costs $25 USD for new users and available now. The unregistered version of TapeDeck has a limited recording time, and only records audio in its lowest quality setting. TapeDeck requires Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, and runs well on any Mac supported by Leopard.
