LateTape is a sound toy for people who like weird audio. It lets you see, touch, and play with your voice or any noise around you.

Made changes to the GUI of my audio app. Now it works well in both iPhone and iPad.

2025-07-15 20:27:08 UTC

Got the "spinning wheel" functionality working during playback and record. This kind of mimics the teenage engineering tp-7. You can interrupt playback and recording, to go straight into scratching. And the wheel gives a visual indicator that's familiar to vinyl DJs :)

2025-07-13 19:27:13 UTC

Fixed a bug where the scratch wheel on my tape recorder would jump on touch. Had to do with how the angle was stored and updated. Nice and smooth now.

Added about 30 tests to the app today. Caught some really interesting edge cases between the render callback and audio unit configuration/init. Should lead to a more stable and responsive experience.

I noticed this on o3 with Swift UI files. Have you had better luck with others?

2025-07-11 11:05:08 UTC

Anyone else find that LLMs have more trouble with declarative (as opposed to imperative) code? Maybe lack of training data or more difficult to follow chain-of-thought?

2025-07-11 01:09:41 UTC

Fixed the bug with scratching and playback transitions.
Bluetooth now integrated into the app, auto detection of connection, playback transitions seamlessly to headphones and back. :)

2025-07-10 14:05:52 UTC

Two steps forward, one step back yesterday. Got Bluetooth headphones working and fixed a wraparound bug in scratching, but exposed an edge case in the seamless interruption of playback with scratching. Will try and fix today.

Conway's Law and Interfaces
Conway's Law states that organizations will design systems that mirror their organizational as structure.
If you have one GUI team and one backend team, your code will end up split along those lines, possibly with some surprising duplication or inelegant data manipulation on either end.
One idea to improve the relationships between teams and achieve a more robust design, is to agree on interfaces. These can enforce a better working relationship, and be a natural communication point for the teams, while allowing autonomy within their domains.
I suggest that you take two opportunities to document these interfaces: once at the beginning and once at the end of a feature. That way, discoveries made along the way are captured, and future changes have the full context of the original communication design.

States vs Events
I often see coders confuse these two. It may happen when they want to trigger an external event on a state change, or another module needs to know something happened.
The difference is that events are transitory (ideally instant), and that states are not. States can be temporary
For example:
I [started] a new twitter account (event).
I am now growing the account, I am in [growth] mode (state).

2025-06-07 15:08:16 UTC

A lot of people have been disappointed this cycle, as they've not seen returns in 'altcons' or even in bitcoin, that they'd expected. But if you look at the charts, we have been roughly following past cycles, even though the market cap is several times larger. Next six months will determine if that continues playing out.
If it doesn't, consider this theory:
- As more people become long term holders, and the issuance decreases, the marginal demand transitions from emotional speculators to passive flows. This, plus the law of large numbers, could have a dampening effect on volatility moving forward.
It might be less 'exciting', but it's still the fastest horse. Not to mention the other properties of bitcoin wrt storage, optionality, cryptographic guarantees.
Be patient!

Mixing secrets for the small studio by Mike Senior.
A great book with lots of practical advice.
I found the audio could be improved in this podcast compared to say something like Rick Rubin's podcast. Here it is harder to discern the voices and the overall volume is slightly lower. I'd consider putting something like a bandpass filter geared towards the human voice, after dialing in the compressor and limiter at the end of the chain. When evaluating overall Master volume, good hygiene for monitoring and reference material is paramount. Gain staging becomes an important part, and should be documented and consistent.
Don't mean to step on your toes. These are just some of my suggestions. Hope it helps. Feel free to reach out.

Great stuff. Enjoying it. Your voice comes through well.
Connection to health care is under-appreciated.
I think the audio is typically a bit low-volume on Walkers pod, compared to others. Maybe add another compressor or limiter in the chain? I know you all are up on production since Carla's stuff usually sounds great.
