TakeLogger

A large print, keyboard-based take logger for macOS

For visually impaired music producers, keeping accurate take logs (and even just keeping track of what take we're on when Pyramix's take logging window isn't available) can be really difficult.

This simple macOS app is designed to get around that. It's nothing fancy, and it's certainly not going to win any awards, but it does the job. And once you're done with a session, you can export the take log to a CSV and send it to the engineer!
