1Take
Audio recorder for musicians with vintage comp modeling
Hey fellow hackers!
I’m thrilled (and a bit nervous) to share that my app, 1Take, is officially launching on Product Hunt today!
The Journey: I’ve been building this for the past few months. As a pianist, I was frustrated with the "thin" sound of standard voice memos. I wanted a way to capture my rehearsals with professional compression and EQ in real-time, so I didn't have to touch a DAW later.
The Product: 1Take turns your iPhone into a studio-grade recorder. It features:
Real-time Opto/FET/VCA compression.
4-band parametric EQ.
Professional VU meters & spectrum analyzer.
Zero tracking, zero ads.
Why I need your help: Launch day is always a rollercoaster. If you have a moment, I’d love for you to check out our Product Hunt page, leave some feedback, or show some love if you find it useful. Every bit of support helps an indie dev like me!

I’ll be active all day, so if you have any questions about audio processing on iOS or building a niche utility app, ask away!
Happy building (and recording)!
Hey IH!
I just released version 1.3.0 of 1Take on the App Store.
The problem: I kept losing the first few seconds of good piano takes. By the time I hit record, the moment was already gone.
The solution: 1Take runs a background buffer. When you tap record, it saves what happened before you pressed the button.
Features:
- Pre-roll buffer (up to 30 seconds)
- Vintage compressor modeling (LA-2A, 1176, API 2500)
- Real-time spectrum analyzer & LUFS metering
- No account, no cloud, no ads
It's a side project I built for myself, but figured other musicians might find it useful too.
Launching on Product Hunt tomorrow (Feb 4) - would love any feedback!
