MD-1 is a cassette-inspired recorder for iPhone built for people who miss warmth, instability, and happy accidents. It combines vintage tape behavior with modern recording workflows, minus broken belts, dirty heads, and finding out your favorite cassette got eaten. TAPE CHARACTER CONTROLS Five sliders. Five ways to ruin perfection. Push the input gain into the red. Add Tape Wear for softened highs and tired old cassette energy. Drive Saturation for harmonic grit and glue. Introduce Wow & Flutter for subtle instability and capstan wobble. And change Tape Speed from 0.5x to 2.0x, with pitch following along as real tape would. Digital audio has spent decades trying to eliminate these things. We put them back. TWO TAPE FORMULATIONS Ferric (Type I): warm, bass-heavy, beautifully imperfect. Chrome (Type II): brighter, cleaner, slightly more civilized. Different EQ curves. Different saturation. Different personalities. RECORD WITHOUT THE DRAMA Punch in anywhere without losing the rest of your take. Monitor your input before recording. Watch your levels on a proper analog-style VU meter. Keep track of time with a mechanical tape counter because honestly… DAW timelines are boring. EXPORT YOUR WAY AAC. WAV. Dry. Saturated. Clean-ish. Completely cooked. Send recordings anywhere via AirDrop, email, SoundCloud, or whatever app your music disappears into next. BUILT LIKE A PIECE OF GEAR Portrait for quick captures. Landscape for full control. Supports USB audio interfaces, microphones and external gear. Double-tap Tape Speed to snap back to 1.0x. And yes, the reels spin faster when you speed up the tape. We know that doesn’t improve the sound. That’s not why we added it. MojoDeck MD-1 The best cassette recorder since the death of cassette recorders.

MP95 is an offline music player for people who care about sound. It plays the files you own in lossless and hi-res quality, bit-perfect, and it looks and feels like real audio gear: a cassette deck, a vinyl turntable, a reel-to-reel tape recorder and more. No account, no ads, no streaming. Your music, your folders, on your device. HI-FI PLAYBACK • Bit-perfect output. With effects off, samples reach the output unchanged: 32-bit float processing, no resampling, no limiter • The output sample rate follows the file (44.1, 48, 96 or 192 kHz), so a USB DAC receives the original rate • 10-band equalizer from 31 Hz to 16 kHz. The curve on screen is the actual filter response, and boosts lower the overall level instead of clipping • AutoEQ headphone correction. Import the profile for your headphones from autoeq.app and hear them closer to a neutral target • Crossfeed for headphones with the classic bs2b settings: Default, Chu Moy and Jan Meier (Pro) • Gapless playback, or a pause of 1 to 3 seconds between tracks • ReplayGain by track or album, with peak protection • VU meters with real needle ballistics 33 AUDIO FORMATS FLAC, ALAC, WAV, AIFF, DSD (DSF and DFF), MP3, AAC/M4A, OGG Vorbis, Opus, APE, WavPack, Musepack, TTA, TAK, WMA, AC-3, DTS, TrueHD and more. SIX CLASSIC PLAYERS • Cassette deck with seven cassette shells • Vinyl turntable with your album art on the record label • Reel-to-reel tape recorder • CD player, digital display and a classic click wheel player • Turn your iPhone sideways and the cassette, reel-to-reel or CD player fills the screen. On iPad the cassette deck and reel-to-reel appear full size • Every player has its own analog character: tape saturation, wow and flutter, hiss, vinyl crackle. Switch it off any time for a clean signal YOUR LIBRARY • Add folders from the Files app, including iCloud Drive • Import songs you own from the Music app. Apple Music streaming tracks are DRM protected, so no app can import them • Every folder with music in one list • Open audio files from Files, Mail or Safari straight into MP95 • Songs, albums, artists, playlists, favorites, most played, and a history that lets you resume where you stopped • Choose what happens when an album ends: stop, or keep playing • Tag editor for MP3, FLAC and M4A, including cover art EXTRAS • Slowed + reverb and volume boost • 8D audio for headphones (Pro) • Three memory slots that save your whole sound setup • Home Screen widgets, Apple Watch remote, Lock Screen controls and background playback FREE AND PRO The cassette deck and the turntable are free forever, with your whole library. Every other player can be tried for three minutes. MP95 Pro unlocks all six players, all cassette shells, the full sound tools, crossfeed and 8D audio. One purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Mac. MP95 never connects to the internet. Terms of Use: http://vlabor-apps.com/tou_mp95.html Privacy Policy: http://vlabor-apps.com/pp_mp95.html
