Forty bounces in,
which one's the song?
Every producer ends up with dozens of versions of the same track. Sometimes a part becomes the song. Sometimes a version becomes a different song entirely. Take$ keeps all of it — and all your thinking about it — organized while you close in on the final.
The best version is almost never a single take.
The final is a collage.
A song might go through a dozen bounces before it's done — the hook from mix 2, the drums from the radio cut, a reverb tail from a late-night pass. I kept ending up with folders full of final_v3_REAL.wav and no way to see which idea lived in which file. Nothing did that well, so I built it.
Find and build your variants.
A song lives as a stack of bounces. Keep every asset in one place, tag the best moment in each, then pull those ideas into as many variants as the song needs.
Review, note, decide.
A real clip from one of my songs, with notes dropped straight onto the audio. Play it from any marker.
Built where your files live.
Big files stay put
Bounced WAVs are large. Take$ reads your audio in place on disk. Nothing uploads.
Real filesystem access
Groundwork for stem-by-stem work across Logic projects — reach a browser sandbox can't give.
Single-user, offline, fast
No accounts, no cloud, no sync tax. It opens instantly and works on a plane.
Shell: Tauri v2 (Rust) · UI: React + Vite · Audio: Web Audio API
Where it's headed.
Library, WAV import, playback, timestamped notes, arrangement sections, and starring the one.
Tag bounces into variants, review notes per version, replay note segments while you listen.
A/B compare, the cross-song keeper timeline, note export, drag-drop import.
Import stems straight from Logic projects and note them track by track.
Take$ is being built for my own music production. If you want to follow along — or help shape it — say hello.
