1Take v1.3.0 is Now Available!
We’re excited to announce that 1Take v1.3.0 has passed App Store review and is now available for download. This release brings powerful new features for serious musicians and significant under-the-hood improvements.
What’s New in v1.3.0
Recording Analysis System
Ever wondered if your recording was technically sound? Now 1Take automatically analyzes your recordings:
- Peak & RMS levels - See your actual recording levels
- Crest Factor - Understand your dynamic range at a glance
- LUFS analysis - Professional loudness measurement (ITU-R BS.1770-4)
- THD+N - Total Harmonic Distortion plus Noise evaluation
- Background Noise - Know exactly how clean your recording environment is
After each recording, you’ll get a quality report with actionable recommendations.
Auto-Record Intelligent Calibration
Setting the right threshold for auto-record just got smarter:
- One-tap calibration - Press the “Auto” button (formerly “Analyze”)
- Ambient noise measurement - Automatically calculates optimal threshold based on your environment
- Hysteresis control - Prevents false triggers from transient sounds
- Persistent settings - Your calibrated threshold saves across app launches
No more guessing games. Let 1Take listen to your room and set the perfect trigger level.
5-Band Parametric EQ
Upgraded from 4-band to professional-grade 5-band parametric EQ:
- Full control - Frequency, Gain, and Q (bandwidth) per band
- Visual feedback - Draggable control points on the frequency response curve
- Enhanced presets - Studio and Live modes retuned for the new EQ
Shape your tone with precision before it hits the recorder.
Sleep Prevention
Long recording session? Enable “Keep Screen On” in Recording Settings. Your iPhone won’t sleep mid-take anymore.
Under the Hood
Critical Stability Fixes
- Long recording sessions - Fixed memory management issues causing crashes
- Audio route changes - Better recovery when plugging/unplugging mics
- Thread safety - Lock-free atomics for bulletproof audio processing
Performance Optimizations
- Zero Task creation in audio callback (down from ~93/sec)
- Swift Atomics - Eliminated NSLock from real-time audio thread
- VU ballistics - Now computed in audio thread for zero-latency response
Code Quality
- Major refactoring for maintainability
- 345 tests passing
- Mac Catalyst preparation
Simplified Markers
Based on user feedback, we’ve streamlined the marker system:
- Removed: Manual Good/Bad/Memo markers
- Kept: Automatic CLIP and OVER markers
The auto-markers catch the moments that matter most—when your audio clips or exceeds safe levels. Less tapping, more playing.
