Takes, breaks, overdubs, and review

Free Recording Session Timer

Use a recording session timer for setup, take blocks, breaks, overdubs, playback, notes, and wrap. Keep studio time focused and create an XTimer room when producer, engineer, artist, and client need shared timing.

Built for this job

Recording sessions keep setup, takes, overdubs, review, and wrap in balance.

Artists and engineers can see when a block is ending.

XTimer rooms support shared recording timers across studio, booth, and remote client screens.
