awesome man !!!

A nice and novel idea for a DAW

A cool app to play around with, I can see this being useful as a plug in or mastering effect, especially for those going for the low-fi sound on a track.

good?

Sorta nit-picky, sorta not : gonna go out on a limb and say the reel title does not need to be bigger than the transport buttons.. because you know.. you actually need to interact with the transport buttons. But if that's the worst thing i've got to say (which it currently is) then it's a pretty good app.

A means to make custom ui skins would be cool..

I'm shocked this is free

I haven't even scratched the surface. For this app to offer more or less the same functionality as a several hundred dollar OP-1 or some other mobile music device is awesome

Amazing and useful

I’ve got to say when it comes to vsts coming close to an actual tape machine this one is by far the best one I have come across! Instantly got to routing different stems I have to the tracks for mixing and the insert effects are amazing.
