How about tapedeck iphone?
Tapedeck seems cool, but i dont use my macbook that much now i have an iphone, plus my iphone is with me all the time. A tapedeck app on there would be very cool! Yeah we already have voice recorders, but tapedeck is so much cooler, and the upload to youtube would be great!

It would be nice to have the ability to have separate library of tapes similar to the Apple's iPhoto allows the creation of multiple libraries. This would allow separate collections of tapes for different subjects.

Personally, I would like to have a library for a private audio journal (password protected), and a separate library for other subjects.

I have found that I can create separate folders for different subjects, but having to go into the preferences is a bit cumbersome. It would be much easier to have a button or drop-down menu from which to choose a different library or folder.

I'd like to see a Tape Eject button. I find the interface confusing in getting tapes out of the recorder and into the Tape box. The one currently in the machine goes into the box when I start a new recording. Or after conducting a search. I remember these old machines having a Tape eject button, it would make it so much easier. I'll still buy it though. Nice job.

Hi,

It’d be great to add one octave to the list of smoothing resolutions available in the FR graph.

Also, some kind of a psycho-acoustic scale would be even better. I suggest the Bark scale (Zwicker) where the resolutions go like this :

< 150 Hz : 1 oct
150 - 500 : 1/3 oct
500 - 4 kHz : 1/6 oct
> 4 kHz : 1/3 oct

Zwicker’s work is not about JND in frequency, but about the perception of the resulting level from the accumulation of sounds close to one another in frequency (sounds within the same “critical band”). In other words, it doesn’t mean that one won’t hear the difference, in pitch or level, between two notes a minor third apart played by the bass player; nevertheless, on the overall spectrum, when many sounds combine, a frequency response will be perceived as mostly flat when the above resolution reads it as such, even though a coarser resolution would reveal deviations.

What do others think?

Any way to implement this in Fuzz?

For those interested, the paper that is most often referred to about this (the article that started it all I guess) is:

Zwicker, E: Subdivision of the Audible Frequency Range into Critical Bands (Frequenzgruppen), Letters to the editor, JASA, Vol 33, n.2, Feb 1961

How about a way to drop an index marker while recording so that later it would be possible to jump to a marked location? Being able to add a comment and tags would be a great bonus. These could perhaps be stored in the metadata of the file containing a recording.
