Bonobo/Simon Green
“I use Tape It for quite a lot of stuff. Voice notes are a big thing for me. I've recorded everything from washing machines to birds! I'll record from my phone and archive it, then a song will start from that. I like you can label everything and the app will identify what the instrument is, which is cool.”
Tom Rowlands (The Chemical Brothers, TOMORA)
“Tape It does everything I need - "no notes"!”
Rob Milton
“Tape It's been a great new addition to session life. The ability to quickly layer up voice notes is a game changer!”

One of the few tools that is immediately and incredibly useful to musicians! Easily my favourite app. Just love it! So simple but yet so powerful! Genius. Great, simple, useful app. Truly a game changer. Indispensable. Love it. This just took my songwriting process from a Chevy to a Lamborghini.
