Orpheus Deck is a retro-inspired four-track recorder for songwriters, musicians, and audio creatives who need to capture ideas from the muses before they disappear.
Think of it as a musical sketchbook: fast enough to catch a riff before you forget it, focused enough to stay out of your way, and familiar enough to feel like an old cassette machine brought into your phone.
Record riffs, melodies, vocals, harmonies, demos, practice parts, sound experiments, and rough song sketches across four tracks. Arm, mute, solo, overdub, adjust levels, edit your recordings, and export WAV files when you are ready to take an idea further.
EDIT WITHOUT DESTROYING THE TAPE
Orpheus Deck's EDIT machine lets you make multiple non-destructive cuts while keeping the rest of the recording aligned. Bypass your edits, undo cuts, or clear them without altering the original recording.
A MUSICAL MACHINE, NOT A STUDIO MENU
Orpheus is intentionally designed around a small set of connected music-making machines rather than a screen full of traditional DAW controls.
Record first. Experiment with the built-in tools. Export when you want to continue somewhere else.
RECORDING AND LATENCY
Phone recording hardware varies. Orpheus uses a native low-latency audio engine, but headphones and Android devices can still introduce different amounts of monitoring and overdub latency.
For the best overdubbing experience:
- Use wired headphones.
- Avoid Bluetooth headphones while overdubbing because Bluetooth adds significant delay.
- Use Orpheus's latency tools when needed.
- For larger productions, export your WAV files and continue in your DAW.
Orpheus Deck is a creative sketchbook, not a sterile studio.
Capture the idea. Keep playing. Let a few beautiful imperfections become part of the song.
