About Dubble

I got tired of DAWs getting in the way. You know when you have an idea, you're ready to capture it, but first you need to navigate project templates, dialogue windows, track routing, and a thousand settings you don't need right now.

I wanted something simple. Press record. That's it.

Dubble is a homage to an app called TapeDeck, which was discontinued in 2013 — I loved this app, it understood one thing: be ready to record and recall audio.

Dubble brings back that instant-capture workflow with a hand-drawn, nostalgic interface that feels like the cassette decks we grew up with. No bloat. No complexity. Just pure recording.

Perfect for

  • Home studios and bedroom producers
  • Voice memos and podcast scratch tracks
  • Song ideas and musical sketches
  • Anyone who values speed over features

Features

Real Cassette Experience

Record, play, rewind, and fast-forward with physical-style transport controls. A three-state stop button works just like a real deck — stop, return to start, then eject.

Hand-Drawn Aesthetic

Every element is crafted with a hand-drawn, sketchbook feel. Animated reels spin during playback, colour-coded tape labels identify your recordings, and VU meters bounce in real time.

High-Fidelity Recording

Choose your format — AAC, ALAC, or WAV — with configurable sample rate (44.1 / 48 / 96 kHz) and bit depth (16 / 24-bit). Professional quality, cassette simplicity.

Tape Library

Every recording becomes a cassette in your library. Browse by spine, search by title, multi-select, and import existing audio files. Tapes are colour-coded and named with random words for instant character.

Keyboard-Driven

Start, stop, and create new recordings without touching your mouse. Organise, colour-code, and instantly recall past takes. All your audio lives where you want it, tagged with your copyright metadata. Dubble gets out of your way so you can focus on the music.

Completely Private

No internet connection. No analytics. No tracking. No cloud. Your recordings stay on your device, always.
