JamCap

JamCap is my take on the “always on recorder” implemented as an AUv3 effects plugin. Typically you’d put JamCap at the end of your signal chain in an AUv3 host, set the maximum recording length, then start jamming! Play something cool you’d like to keep? Simply export the current recording as a high quality stereo audio file, and your jam is captured! How is this different from other hosts or other “always on” recorders? Typically, you have to “arm” the track you want to to record, and you can’t set a maximum length so it’s not really practical to record continuously. Plus all that flashing “red light fever” makes me nervous and might spoil an otherwise perfect performance :-) Some hosts do include an “always on” recorder, but often this is a fixed length buffer of a few minutes. What if you wanted to record an entire 30 minute set? JamCap has a maximum record time of two hours. Because JamCap is an audio unit, you can use several instances in the same host. For example you might want to set one instance to capture your dry guitar signal, and another to capture the guitar + effects. JamCap also includes a handy timer display, so you can see how long you’ve been jamming! Please note that while JamCap should run fine as a plugin in most DAWs, that’s not really what it’s been designed for. JamCap is more at home in hosts designed for live performance - AUM being an excellent, and very popular example on iOS.
