Lacquer – DJ Set Recorder

Lacquer turns your iPad or iPhone into a bulletproof recorder for your DJ sets. Park it at the end of your chain — mixer master out → USB audio interface → iPad — and capture the whole night in pristine 24-bit. Its one promise: it will not lose your set. RECORDING IS FREE, AND UNCAPPED No time limit. No limit on how many sets you keep. No watermark, no trial countdown, nothing withheld from the recording itself. Record a six-hour night and take the full-quality 24-bit WAV master home — free, forever. A recorder you can't trust before you've paid isn't worth trusting after, so the entire capture path is free: the durability engine, the markers, the crate, playback, and your master file. Lacquer Pro is a single one-time purchase for the work that happens after the gig. No subscription — the DJ tools you already pay monthly for cost more in a quarter than Lacquer costs once. THE SET IS SACRED A DJ set is a once-only, irreplaceable event. Lacquer's recording engine is decoupled from the audio hardware, so if a cable gets pulled, a call comes in, or the system hiccups mid-set, it keeps writing and resumes the instant the signal returns — and clearly flags any take that dropped out, so you always know exactly what you captured. The master file is written continuously and is never modified, so it stays playable even in the worst case. CAPTURE • True 24-bit at your interface's native rate (up to 96 kHz), in stereo — record with headroom and never ride gain again • Works with any class-compliant USB audio interface (e.g. Focusrite Scarlett), or the built-in mic • 12+ hour recordings, with live level meters, a free-space countdown, and a charging check • Drop markers live with one tap to bookmark each DJ change or moment YOUR CRATE Every set lands in the Crate as a record. Browse your collection, play sets back, scrub the waveform, and jump between markers. EXPORT — ALWAYS FREE • Your 24-bit WAV master, the whole take, out via the share sheet • Trim and fades, so you can top and tail the night • Recordings appear in the Files app for drag-and-drop, with human file names like "2026-06-22 Club X" LACQUER PRO — ONE PAYMENT, NO SUBSCRIPTION Everything that turns a capture into deliverables: • Split at markers — one file per DJ, in a single pass • Loudness processing — normalize to a target for SoundCloud / Mixcloud, or gently flatten the night's loudness creep while leaving the drops intact, plus a safety limiter • The full loudness report — LUFS, true-peak and clipping. Lacquer measures every take as you record it, so unlocking reveals the analysis of sets you have already recorded, with nothing to re-process • ALAC and AAC export, with artwork and tags baked in • Gig profiles — venue, genre and artwork presets, stamped on every take Your original 24-bit master is never touched by any of it. LIVESTREAM (OPTIONAL) Go live over RTMP to a destination you choose, such as Mixcloud Live. Audio-only and best-effort — a dropped stream never affects your recording. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything stays on your device. No account, no tracking, nothing uploaded unless you choose to stream or share. Lacquer — record, master & livestream.
