[What's New in Version 1.4]

We've added a highly requested Pro feature to maximize your practice and learning efficiency!

• A-B Repeat (Pro Only): Set a specific start (A) and end (B) point to loop a section of your recording continuously. Perfectly optimized for language learning, dictation, or instrument practice. • Smart In-Loop Scrubbing: When A-B Repeat is active, Fast-Forward (FF) and Rewind (REW) will intelligently keep you within your loop boundaries. Navigate through your selected section seamlessly without ever losing your loop! • Minor bug fixes and overall stability improvements.

### 1.3 — 2026-05-30

In this 1.3 update, we’re introducing the biggest change in the app’s history: Landscape Dual Deck Mixing!

• Dual Deck Mixing (Pro only): Turn your device horizontally to reveal two tape decks (A/B). Play two audio tracks simultaneously and create your own amazing mix using the independent volume sliders! 
• Beautiful UI/UX Revamp: Experience a more realistic feel with a stunning brushed metal texture and high-precision smooth volume faders. 
• Smooth Switching Animations: In portrait mode, switching between Deck A and Deck B now features a beautiful asymmetric slide animation, making it feel like you're physically moving between two devices. 
• Improved Stability & Bug Fixes: Fixed a bug where playback was delayed after recording, and resolved an issue where the reel animation didn't spin smoothly on the first app launch.
