Make the Record

TayPE exists to help you finish real takes, not drown in endless options. A multitrack DAW with the soul of a tape machine. Fewer modes, fewer knobs, more truth.

Built from the ground up with accessibility at its core. WCAG 2.2 AA compliant. High-contrast mode. Keyboard navigable. Because musicians are not all sighted, all hearing, or all able-bodied.

Multitrack Truth

Record, arrange, and mix with a clean signal path. Real-time safe audio engine. No hidden latency, no surprise. What you hear is what you get.

Stems, Not Folders

Stems are real summing buses. One layer deep. No nested folder hell. Your console layout stays stable and predictable.

Focus Over Clutter

Focus mode shows only what matters at the playhead. Archive mode silences dead tracks completely - no CPU, no noise. Commit over endless looping.

Console Channel Strip

Neve-style 3-band EQ, HP/LP filters, compressor with log release, and 4 VST3 insert slots per track. Everything you need, nothing you don't.

AI-Native via MCP

Full Model Context Protocol integration. Connect Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or any MCP client and let AI assist your session - hands-free mixing, track management, creative collaboration.

Accessible by Design

WCAG 2.2 AA. High-contrast theme. Full keyboard navigation. Screen-reader compatible labels. Designed for every musician, not just the ones who can see 12px text on a dark background.

The Console

Built for Everyone

Accessibility is not a feature. It's a foundation. TayPE targets WCAG 2.2 AA throughout. High-contrast mode with 15:1+ text ratios. Every state is conveyed with shape and icon, never colour alone. Keyboard shortcuts for every action. Because the interface must meet musicians where they are.
