Description

With the free WireTap app you’ll never lose that million-dollar riff or killer chord-progression again. Just grab your phone and start capturing your ideas quick and easy no matter where you may find yourself when inspiration strikes. WireTap uses your iPhone’s built-in microphone to record your guitar, bass, piano, keyboard, voice and well… basically any musical instrument you can think of. While it’s built-in peak meter ensures a perfect sounding take every single time. From there you can tag, name, group and trim your recordings or even share them with your friends, all via the app, giving you an unprecedented fast and fluent workflow. The distance from rough riff to finished song of awesomeness has never been shorter!

Doesn’t export, no Audiobus support

This COULD be one of the most useful apps for guitarists. Once it syncs with the pedal (I did it, couldn’t really explain how I did it) it works flawlessly. Even transferring the riffs to my iPad worked great. Sadly, once the tracks are there you can’t export them to anything else. I think it’s supposed to be able to happen, but it just crashes.
This app is a real anomaly in TC Electronic’s generally flawless interfaces between their pedals and iOS-based applications.
Worse, they’ve appeared to just have written it off. The Wiretap pedal is perfect. The sound quality is exactly as-recorded. But the app renders the entire endeavor nigh useless.

C’mon TC! What the hell is this? Just assign a software team to work on it for a week and fix the damned thing so we can use it!

Works, but you gotta do it right!

The pedal works great! I'm taking a star off the app because it is not intuitive at all how the thing works. It took quite a bit of playing around, but I finally figured it all out.

First, you need to make sure you're in the correct mode which you select at the bottom right with the little pedal icon or the phone icon. The pedal mode won't be active unless you're paired with your Wiretap and it is on and connected via BT.

To delete a file you have to swipe from the very right of the track you want to delete. When I say the very right, this means you need to be touching the little pedal or phone icon for the track. If you're in pedal mode it will ask if you want to delete the file on the phone, the pedal or both. If you're in phone mode, then you can only delete the file on the phone, it will still be on your pedal.

The sync a track from the pedal to your phone, you need to swipe from left to right on the track you want to move. Again, from the very, very far left. It should then sync over to your phone.

I hope this helps others. TC really needs to make it a little more obvious and maybe even have a help function in the app. Otherwise, this is a great pedal and app. My riff collection will be growing exponentially.

Calm down 1star reviewers; this app works

Sure the instructions included aren’t as clear as they could be. That said it only took a few minutes of swiping left and right to find all the slightly hidden features. From far edge swipe left to right on a recording to reveal sync/upload feature. Swipe right to left on the track to reveal the delete feature. You can delete it from your phone and/or your pedal. Once the track is synced to your phone it’s easy to share via email or text. Yes occasionally it may crash but it will send your track first. Also you could always download these tracks to a computer via USB cable. This pedal is great at what it was designed to do. A slightly better instruction manual for the app is all it needs.
