I've been working for the past 5 months on my first app, and its now on the Mac App Store!

RM2000 Tape Recorder makes audio sampling effortless - just record the sound, give it a title and maybe some tags, and its saved - instantly available to be used on any DAW or production software.

Made it because I was making music one night, and I wanted to get a sample off a YouTube video. My process was: Configure Screenflow, set up desktop recording with internal audio setup, start recording, crop the file down to just the audio parts I want, export it as mp4, then convert it to mp3...too much of a mess. I made an app that skips half of that, and I've been using it for my workflow.

Its really good when I'm listening to college radio and I hear a bit of inspiration and just want to have a small recording for later safekeeping. I use tools / services like PureRef, Are.na, and Pinterest all the time, mostly using assets that I found myself that I either downloaded or CmdShift4'd...RM2000 Tape Recorder is like that but in audio form.

I spent a lot of time on the design, my first computer was an iBook G4 running Tiger when I was in the 1st grade, its really nostalgic and I still think its UI design at its peak :) I made the assets using Sketch!
