This is cool but what if instead it was always recording a 1 min buffer in the background and as you’re playing and you nail a tasty lick it will already have been recorded and you just have to hit stop. Hitting record usually involves me moving my hands and my attention which often ruins the moment. This way you’d never have to remember to hit record.
I believe Sony made a Minidisc car stereo with this feature so you could always record that hot song on the radio.
The footswitch is there so you don’t have to move your hands or prepare anything.
If you need something that is always recording maybe you need a simple recorder and hit rec at the beggining of a session. Memory is cheap these days. But…
I think this is a great idea because you can get a “sound snapshot”, hit stop and move to the next one (or as many variations of the same snapshot). At the end of the day you can have as many snapshots as you want and you wouldn’t have to go through hours of recording or have to use just the last thing you played.
“Million dollar riff?”
I prefer to be more realistic and see it as a $0.004891 per stream riff.
Stereo would be nice for keyboards.
Also a small version of this with a 3.5mm mic input for DSLR video shooters.
A single 3 color led for input meter would be a good thing.
I love the idea of a box that just does one thing as simply as possible. Expand the Bluetooth to work with Ableton and I would buy. Many possibilities.
I love your idea for DSLRs
Sorry, but Apple Music Memos. Game over.
