Would be nice to have a slider to adjust the vertical height of the bars (I want to squish the whole thing down a bit, so it takes up less vertical space). Anyway, very slick interface, looking good!

Thanks! I definitely think that would make sense.

First of all, thank you for the feedback. Agreed on messaging/processing indicator. The size of the bars is based on the amplitude of the sound you're processing, so your results will vary, depending on the dynamics of the sound. Have you tried In Rainbows? ;) Recording - You are correct. I think a count down would also be useful. Currently, the recording starts as soon as you hit the button, which can produce some s…

Is there a demo somewhere? I don't have a mp3.

Unfortunately, we don't have any demos yet, but it's something that has come up, so we're planning on it. Do you have a microphone? If not, if you sign up, I can create a draft for you so you can play around.

Might be nice if we could specify an external file, or a YouTube video, instead of uploading or recording a sound.

This has come up a lot. There's some potential legal implications that have prevented us from pursuing this.
