Take Sheet is the take sheet, reinvented — a fast, dedicated app for logging recording sessions in real time, built for engineers, producers, and musicians who still reach for a paper take sheet or a shared spreadsheet. It's not a DAW. It doesn't record audio or host plugins. It replaces the clipboard: log every take — number, rating, keeper flag, mic chain, and notes — in under a second, without breaking your flow at the console. DURING THE SESSION • Log takes in one or two taps — built for console speed • Flag keepers and rate takes as you go • Track mic placement, signal chain, and notes per take • Attach photos of mic setups, console screens, and charts • Organize by project → session → track → take AFTER THE SESSION • Import bounce files and play them back right in the app • Auto-queue your keeper takes into a playback list • Sync sessions to your Calendar • Export professional PDF and CSV take sheets to hand off to a mix engineer • Export a full Bounce Bundle ZIP for the artist or band LEARN AS YOU GO Take Sheet includes a built-in instrument encyclopedia — mic placement guidance, typical signal chains, and reference recordings per instrument — free for everyone, whether you're tracking your first session or your five-hundredth. BUILT FOR EVERY DEVICE A true native app on iPhone, iPad, and Mac — not a scaled-up phone app. Your projects sync automatically across all your devices via iCloud. ONE-TIME PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION Try Take Sheet free with up to 3 projects and the full insck Pro once — unlimited projects, full iCloud sync,unlimited attachments, bounce file playback, calendar sync, and every export format — and it's yours forever.

About

Harmonitron

This app creates a rich, swirling harmonic tremolo effect, distinct from standard volume pulsing. It splits sound into low and high bands, modulating them in opposite phases for a lush, phaser-like character. Apply it to various instruments or full mixes as a standalone app or AUv3 effect.

Highlights
  • True harmonic tremolo with anti-phase modulation
  • Voice control for morphing between classic and harmonic tremolo
  • Split & Tilt for band crossover and balance
  • Tube Drive and tone shaping
  • Adjustable Rate and LFO Shapes
  • Tempo Sync with musical note divisions
  • Stereo Spread for auto-pan and width

Harmonitron is a harmonic tremolo. The rich, swirling amp "vibrato" made famous by early-1960s brownface amplifiers. A normal tremolo just pulses your volume up and down. A harmonic tremolo goes deeper: it splits your sound into a low band and a high band, then sweeps them in OPPOSITE phase. As the lows swell, the highs dip and back again. That contrary motion is what gives Harmonitron its lush, watery, almost phaser-like character that an ordinary tremolo can't reach. Turn the Voice control and the effect morphs smoothly from a classic in-phase tremolo all the way to a full harmonic swirl. Drop it on guitars, keys, synths, pads, drums, or a whole mix. Standalone, or as an Audio Unit (AUv3) effect inside GarageBand, AUM, Logic, and other hosts. THE SOUND • True harmonic tremolo: anti-phase modulation of a low and high band • Voice: morph continuously from classic tremolo to full harmonic swirl • Split & Tilt: place the crossover and balance the two bands • Tube Drive and tone shaping for warmth and grit MOVEMENT • Rate from a slow tide to a fast flutter, shown in BPM • LFO Shape: sine, triangle, square, and ramp with adjustable edge Slope • Tempo Sync that locks to your project and lands on the beat, with musical note divisions from 1/1 to 1/32 (dotted and triplet) • Stereo Spread for auto-pan and rotary-style width HANDS-ON • A living hero orb whose two halves breathe in opposite phase — drag it to set Depth, tap to bypass • Grouped, color-coded controls: Motion, Sync, Harmonic, Stereo, Drive, Output • Factory presets: Brownface, Rotary Swirl, Slow Tide, Sync Chop, Wide Harmonic and more — plus your own saved presets PLUGIN & STANDALONE • Full AUv3 audio-effect support with host presets and parameter automation • Runs on iPhone, iPad, and Mac • Standalone mode with a built-in demo pad, live microphone input, or import a song and export the processed result
