Vochlea has introduced Dubnote, a new iOS app that’s designed to be ‘sonic sketchbook’ for musicians.
“Most musicians use the native voice memos app not because they love it, but because it’s convenient. We’ve built something better, designed with musicians in mind,” notes Vochlea CEO George Wright. “With Dubnote, ideas are easy to capture, organise and actually find again.”
Dubnote uses AI to bring “much-needed framework” to unstructured audio recordings, and does it all on your device.
Dubnote allows musicians and producers to:
- Automatically split their recordings into meaningful sections
- Detect tempo (BPM)
- Transcribe speech and lyrics
- Add time-stamped notes and favourite key moments
- Tag recordings automatically based on content
- Make everything searchable by keyword or emoji (e.g. “hook” or ?)
- Export full recordings or individual clips (.WAV or .AAC)
- Import old recordings to rediscover forgotten ideas
You can organize recordings into notebooks with custom covers and titles, and all sessions are securely backed up to your iCloud.
Pricing and Availability:
Dubnote is available now, priced at $24.99/year.
“Most musicians use the native voice memos app not because they love it, but because it’s convenient”
– nonsense
I love the convenience of the iOS voice memo app, that they are simple & automatically appear on my desktop.
It combines the two things we all love the most: AI and Subscription Licensing. Bravo!

Before Voice Memos app there was Music Memos app which was designed specifically for musicians and even offered multi track loop recording.
Sadly Apple decided to kill it and offer half baked Voice Memos app instead 🙁
Thankfully it still works and I’m using it to capture my music ideas on the run 🙂
Audio recording has improved on iOS. However, the biggest problem is that Apple’s quest to make things simple means you can’t turn off noise suppression, or limiting (where you set your own levels). They could have tucked these settings away where most users could ignore them. Or given apps access to them.
Again subscription?!! No way
Bet it steals your riffs too
