Hi Product Hunt, Craig here.
Anyone who has worked in a room with a control room and a live room will remember the session DAT: a machine left running for the whole session, catching everything that came through the speakers. The best playing tends to happen when nothing is armed, and someone always says the thing from twenty minutes ago was the one.
Session Recorder is that tape for a Mac. It records the system output directly, so there is no virtual audio driver to install, no kernel extension, and nothing to change in your DAW. You leave it running and forget about it.
Two details I care about most. Playback from inside the app is excluded at the OS level, so you can listen back to something it caught while it is still recording, with no feedback and nothing re-recorded. And Control-Option-Command-M drops a marker stamped with the actual time of day, so the marker list hands you 4:15:31 PM instead of a four-hour waveform to scrub through.
It writes lossless WAV at 32, 24 or 16 bit, or AAC. Clips drag straight into Logic, Live, Reaper, Cubase and Studio One, and AU and VST3 builds are included. Strip Silence into a Master File collapses a long day into one file worth listening to. macOS 14.4 or later, universal binary, native on Apple silicon and Intel.
The free version keeps a rolling 30 minutes. Full-length sessions and the plugins are a one-time 49 USD, no subscription and no account.
I would genuinely like to hear what you would want it to do. I built it around the way I like to work in the room, so there are good ideas I have not thought of.
