Hi all,

You know what might be a great feature for 1.2? When using TapeDeck for songwriting purposes, I often think back on my old dual tape deck that would allow me to add a new layer of sound as I dubbed from tape to tape. It would be awesome if there were a mode where I could just rewind the tape, hit record, and add a new layer.

No need for extra tracks or editing or anything. It's just sometimes I don't want to break out Garage Band, but I want to hear how an idea--with harmony or more than one instrument--might sound.

Brad, try adding ‘color:blue’ to a search. I’m sure that’s what you’re looking for… ;)

This product is great! I use different color ‘tapes’ for different categories and generations of ideas, so the tape sidebar can get pretty unorganized. Perhaps a filter to only show certain colored tapes would be a useful feature in future releases?

Lee, we definitely wouldn't want to release something to our customers that could potentially affect your library of tapes! :)

I'm glad to hear it's invaluable as a songwriting tool. While developing TapeDeck I thought that would be an excellent use case.

A mobile version of TapeDeck would certainly be great. We're looking into it, and trying to work around any obstacles we encounter.

Thanks Chris. I didnt want to update via the link and possibly lose the songs already in there if all I had to wait was a week or so. Love the app as it is so these new features all excellent. I use it for noting down song ideas I then develop in Logic. Its my constant note taker. Youll have to develop a side project for the iphone that can sync with Tapedeck anything we have recorded on our travels. Thanks again
