Title Track

An Android recorder for music memos. Count yourself in at a tempo you choose, play, and if the third bar goes wrong hit Restart without looking. Takes are written as plain WAV files into a folder you pick, so they are on your phone's storage rather than locked inside the app.

Early-stage release — expect rough edges. Feedback and bug reports welcome via Issues.

While a take is being made

* Two buttons that matter — full-width, thumb-height Done and Restart. Done ends the take and saves it; Restart wipes it and counts you back in.

* Count-in — off, one bar or two, at a tempo you set, with an accented downbeat.

* A live waveform while you play — the last eight seconds as a scrolling peak envelope, drawn red near full scale so clipping is visible as it happens.

* Silent visual metronome — one dot per beat under the buttons, the lit one walking the bar, starting with the count-in. On by default because an audible click on a phone speaker ends up inside the take.

* A click through the take (optional, off) — for headphones, where there is nothing for the microphone to pick up.

* Listen before recording (optional, off) — draws what the microphone hears before you press Record, so mic distance is settled while it still costs nothing.

* A level test, not a guess — hold Record and play the loudest thing you will play; it reports the peak in dBFS and offers a gain that puts it at −9 dBFS.

* Recorded honestly — the least-processed microphone source the device offers, and unlike voice recorders no filtering of any kind.

Tuner

A third tab, in two faces. A needle, damped like a moving-coil meter so it settles rather than twitches while a peg is turning; and a strobe, two rings that come to a standstill when the string is in tune. There is no guitar/bass switch to set wrong: it names the nearest note across the whole range, with its octave. Equal temperament against A4 = 440 Hz: a guitar tuned on a pedal's sweetened preset will disagree by a few cents, and neither is wrong.

Your folder, your files

Pick any folder once — Music/Recording, an SD card, a synced folder; takes land there as 44.1 kHz mono WAV. Browse it in the app, make sub-folders, rename, move, star, share, delete, play back. The bpm you played to is written into the WAV itself as a LIST/INFO comment, so it survives being copied to a computer.

The player

Every take is drawn as a peak envelope in decibels — the same shape the record screen drew while you were playing. Touch anywhere on it to…
