I found the copy on the site a bit gross - I'm not sure something like this needs a critique of modern copywriting, and for me it gives that same weird sense of over familiarity ('we get you') that I think it's trying to criticise.
Great copywriting. It's very rare that I read an entire paragraph without skipping a word.
"Lawn Order.
The X900's diamond-tipped rotary blades cut your grass to within 50 microns of your desired length. Overkill? Absolutely. Because it's not just your lawn—it's our passion."
This seems really clever -- kudos! I'm curious how it actually works? At first I assumed you were comparing the vinyl track to the reference digital track from some streaming service and either analyzing the frequencies with FFT or the timing of peaks. But I watched your demo video and you don't need to tell it anything about the song. Which makes me think you're rather doing an FFT and simply trying to match how wel…
The gyroscope on your phone is accurate enough to measure RPM to about the first decimal place at 33 1/3 - 45 rpm's just by placing your phone on the turntable flat and letting it spin.

P.S. Reading comments from a bunch of tech folks trying to wrap their heads around an app for calibrating analogue music playback device is very amusing. :-)
So here's another method that doesn't rely on the song being detected or even a song at all: The gyroscope on your phone is accurate enough to measure RPM to about the first decimal place at 33 1/3 - 45 rpm's just by placing your phone on the turntable flat and letting it spin.

Even pop albums aren't all 440hz. Def Leopard's Pyromania is about a 1/4 step off standard tuning, and there are many other examples of similar.
Just put a record on yesterday and my wife said it was playing too fast. I thought she was wrong, then I see this post today! I grabbed the app and gave it a go, 3.5% too fast according to your app. Now I have to figure out how to adjust the damn thing. Really appreciate a free nonsense free app. update: youtube to the rescue. pretty common affordable turntable( Audio-Technica LP60), so I figure I would put the vid l…
This is exactly what I hoped for when building this app. Making a dead simple tool for people who want their records to sound better, but may not have the equipment or knowledge necessary to adjust it.
