RM2000 Tape Recorder makes it stupid simple to grab audio samples and organize them: just record the sample, give it a title (and maybe some tags), and it is saved neatly into a directory of your choosing.

I'm a huge datahoarder and have always appreciated tools / services like PureRef and Are.na which help me make sense of everything I collect. Those services concern themselves with images and video - I wondered, why can't the same be done with music and audiofiles?

I actually got the inspiration for the filenaming scheme from the Emacs Denote package - every sample is saved in the format of title--tag1--tag2.mp3. Emacs Denote does something similar, for example an identifier--title--keywords.org .

I chose this method as any file browser with fuzzy search can search through samples, i.e. - the Ableton file browser. Just search up some of the tags, and a title, and you'll be able to find your sample.

I wanted this app to look good, as well (and is why I spent so much time making it!) The app is made with a mix of SwiftUI and AppKit, while the assets were rendered in Sketch

I appreciate your time and I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. If you do download it, and find suggestions / bugs, please let me know!

Cheers
