Cave Recorder (caverec)
A multitrack recorder and mixing console built for live band rehearsals and studio tracking. Every song or jam gets its own independent 00:00:00.000 Take, simultaneous 32-bit float stems + live stereo Print, automatic multi-mic phase alignment, and optional Google Drive session & mixdown sync.
Rehearsal-Cave Insurance: The drummer inevitably plays the best groove of the year five minutes before anyone remembers to press Record. Cave Recorder keeps a continuous 30-minute rolling RAM ring ready to save the jam after the last cymbal fades.

REAL-TIME DSP
1. Hardware-Inspired Mix Console & Built-In DSP
Every channel and stereo Subgroup Bus packs a reorderable 8-slot rack (12-band parametric EQ + Dual-Trace RTA, VCA compressor, analog tape saturation, and Aux Send tap), feeding dedicated stereo AUX 1 convolution reverb and AUX 2 tape delay returns, a Master Bus brickwall limiter, and automatic PDC with Low-Latency Monitoring.

CH 01–18
2. 30-Minute Retroactive RAM Capture & Live Prints
A continuous 30-minute rolling RAM ring buffers all armed channels while stopped so you can save a great jam after it happens. Every Take simultaneously records 32-bit float multitrack stems and a live stereo Master Bus Print ready for one-click 24-bit lossless .flac and 320 kbps CBR .mp3 conversion.
AUTO CORRELATION • POLARITY (Ø) • SUB-SAMPLE DELAY
ALIGN Φ
3. Sub-Sample Multi-Mic Phase Alignment (ALIGN Φ)
Timing differences between close drum mics, overheads, room mics, and DI/cab pairs hollow out low-end punch. Clicking ALIGN ALL correlates arrival times against your reference mic, applying polarity inversion (Ø) and microsecond sub-sample alignment in one step.
Project → Session → Take (t=0) → Pass
SESSION REEL
4. Session Reel, Pass Comping & Present Stash
Start tracking immediately with built-in session templates (MicAndGuitar001 and GuitarBassDrumTrio001) plus custom SAVE TEMPLATE studio layouts up to 18 channels. Every Take starts at 00:00:00.000 with expandable Pass lanes (Rec001 Base Pass, Rec002-OD Overdub Pass), Present Stash A/B Snapshot recall, and Direct Google Drive sync for sessions plus 24-bit .flac and 320 kbps .mp3 prints/mixdowns (for native Drive web browser playback).
