## What is Overdubber?

Record yourself in layers — instantly.
No timeline. No DAW. No setup. Just press record and build your idea.

Start with one take, then overdub as many parts as you want while listening back. It’s the fastest way to turn a quick idea into something real — before it disappears.

Start or stop a take from the Action Button, or by asking Siri.

---

HOW IT WORKS

1. Record a layer
2. Record another while listening back
3. Repeat until it’s built
4. Mix and export

Everything happens on one screen.

---

BUILT-IN MIXER

Each layer has its own volume fader and mute button. Dial in your balance, try different combinations, and shape your mix before export. All changes are non-destructive — your original recordings stay intact.

---

REAL-TIME WAVEFORMS

See your audio as you record. Live waveforms make it easy to spot silence, clipping, and timing at a glance, and scroll smoothly during playback.

---

TAPE WARMTH

A one-knob analog-style effect for warmth and glue. Add subtle saturation or push it for lo-fi character — or leave it clean.

---

LOOP MODE

Tap the loop button while recording to set your loop length and instantly start overdubbing — like a hardware looper pedal. Or use it during playback to cycle while you practice before laying down the next part.

---

PROJECTS

Your work saves automatically. Come back anytime — your layers and mix will be right where you left them.

---

EXPORT

Share your mix as M4A (small, compressed) or WAV (lossless, full quality). Premium also unlocks stem export, so you can export individual tracks as a ZIP.

Save to Files, AirDrop to your Mac, or share to any app.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.18.3 — 2026-08-15

• Sort your library — by last modified, date created, or name; your choice is remembered
• Removed the Bluetooth headphone warning that interrupted takes — and the record-button lag that came with it
• Smoother meters, waveforms, and export progress in long, layered sessions
• The timer follows when you scrub, scales with your text size, and animations respect Reduce Motion
• Files you send via AirDrop open as audio
• Re-exporting with the same name offers Replace or Keep Both

### 1.17.2 — 2026-08-11

Fixed a crash that could interrupt long playback sessions.
Deleting a layer now returns the playhead to the start.
Removed the Bluetooth latency warning before recording.

### 1.17.1 — 2026-08-11

• Scrub the track strip to seek — play and punch in from where you left the head
• Track list fits on screen without scrolling; denser projects stay readable
• Fixed layers going silent — when stacking loop overdubs, and when turning loop off mid-take
• More reliable playback controls on the lock screen and in Control Center

### 1.16.0 — 2026-08-05

• Overdubber now opens straight to the recorder. The welcome tour is gone, and the microphone is only requested the first time you tap record.
• Fixed: playback no longer asks for microphone access.
• Deleting a layer or project now shows a brief Undo instead of a confirmation dialog.
• Filled in missing translations.

### 1.14.3 — 2026-08-01

• Fixed a bug where backing layers went silent on loop punch-in (with the tape gap on)
• Fixed the tape gap chewing into the start of the next pass
• Turning loop off mid-take no longer leaves shorter layers looping underneath
• Live waveform no longer shrinks while you’re recording
• Playhead and layers stay in sync when you record past the end
• Premium is recognised straight away on launch
• Crash fixes and general polish
