Which one's
the one?
A local-first desktop studio for the many bounces of a song. Keep every take, tag what's worth keeping in each, and pull those ideas into the variants you ship — a main mix, a club mix, a radio edit — without a single file leaving your disk.
The best version is almost never a single take.
The final is a collage.
I make a lot of versions. A song might go through a dozen bounces before it's done — the hook from mix 2, the drums from the radio cut, that reverb tail from a late-night pass. I kept ending up with folders full of final_v3_REAL.wav and no easy way to see which idea lived in which file, or to pull the strongest pieces into one. 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 and tag the best moment in each — then pull those ideas into as many variants as the song needs. A main mix, a club mix, a radio edit, each drawing from different takes.
Review, note, decide.
A real clip from one of my songs, with notes dropped straight onto the audio — one thing to fix, one part worth keeping for the remix. Play the clip below from any of the markers.
Built where your files live.
Big files stay put
Bounced WAVs are large. Take$ references your audio in place on disk — nothing gets uploaded anywhere.
Real filesystem access
The groundwork for stem-by-stem work across Logic projects — the kind of 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 → versions, WAV import, Web Audio playback, timestamped notes with tags, arrangement sections, and “the one” starring.
Tag bounces into variants, per-version note review, and note segments you can replay while listening back.
A/B compare, the cross-song keeper timeline, note export, and drag-drop import in the desktop window.
Import individual stems straight from Logic projects and note them track by track.
Take$ is actively being developed for my own music production. If you're interested in learning more — or want to help shape features — let us know.
