DICTAFONE

Hit record and make a noise. Tap a table, a mug, a radiator.

Lower finds more hits. Raise it if quiet room noise is being sliced.

Where your recordings go

Nowhere. Audio is captured, analysed and stored entirely on this device, in the browser's own storage — there is no account, no upload and no server to send it to. Clearing your browser data, or the Delete everything button on the Export tab, removes it for good. Exported WAVs are generated on the device too.

No microphone to hand?

Load ten synthesised foley-ish sounds so you can try the sorting, the sequencer and the export without recording anything.

Nothing recorded yet. Go to Record, or load the demo sounds.

Every sample placed by timbre. Close together means they sound alike. Tap a dot to hear it.

The room is generated in the browser, so there is no impulse file to download.

Output

Export the loop

Stems give you one WAV per track — drop them straight into a DAW with the layers still separate.

Export the samples

Every recording as an individual trimmed, normalised WAV, foldered by timbre class.
