Existing users, 
AR does record from line input fine, the problem is how it saves the data. .MP4 files can't be opened in some other sound editing programs, and it describes the process as importing and exporting to a movie. In fact, the mp4 files it saves have the Movie icon associated with them. Saving can also be quite slow. If you don't save a file as independant media, you'll get a file that needs the original file to refer back to... I discovered this when burning what I thought was a regular mp4 to a disk, only to discover that the file wasn't playable on another computer because the original data file wasn't on that computer.

TAR uses quicktime to record sound. QT refers to everything as a movie, a sound is a movie with no pictures. This is rather counter intuitive but is also consistent. TAR gives you the option to save tracks with their media or just as references to the original recording. If you save them as references (fast and memory efficient) and then delete the file to which they refer (or move the references somewhere where they can’t find the original) then sadly your tracks will be gone.TAR can directly export tracks as MP4, AIFF, and WAVE. It can also send tracks to iTunes and get iTunes to encode the tracks using any of iTunes’ encoders. Any track info that you have entered is also sent to iTunes.
