iVox
The first app dedicated to 1980s tape-edit effects.
iVox brings the lost art of tape multi-editing to your own computer. Inspired by the legendary editing style of The Latin Rascals, Omar Santana, and Chep Nunez — the pioneers who defined 80s freestyle, hip-hop, and the megamix era.

Hey Product Hunt, I'm Funkafilia, and I've been obsessed with a very specific art form for about 25 years. In the mid-1980s, a group of New York DJs and engineers figured out that you could cut and splice reel-to-reel tape to make music do things it was never supposed to do. Single beats became machine-gun stutters. Four-bar loops became rhythmic sculptures. The Latin Rascals, Omar Santana, and Chep Nunez turned tape editing into a performance art You can hear their fingerprints on Shannon, Sa-Fire, Duran Duran, Mantronix, and David Bowie records from that era. Nobody ever really built a proper tool to recreate this. DAWs are too general. Samplers are too modern. So I built iVox: a desktop-based splicing machine that thinks the way a tape editor thinks. Load any audio, define your region, then use pads to build edit patterns, pitch-bend slices, reverse hits, and micro-edits..... live, while it plays. In the early 2000s I started a Yahoo group called The Editheadz. A few hundred obsessed edit freaks found it and kept it alive for years. Eventually the scene migrated to Facebook, got overrun by spam, and quietly died. I believe those people are still out there — they just went back to their lives. iVox is for them. And for anyone who ever wondered how those records were made. The website is live and the app costs 49 euro for life time license. Would love your thoughts, questions, and upvotes and if you were ever an edithead, please say hi.
