About
One person
Who makes this
Takt Audio Labs is made by one person, a Norwegian living in Lisbon, Portugal, who writes the code, designs the interfaces, builds this website and answers the email.
We spend our time making music, and making the tools we want to make it with.
Why these exist
Every plug-in here started with a tool we already owned and did not enjoy using. There is no shortage of software that does these jobs. What was missing was software that did them the way we wanted, and behaved the way we expected while we were working.
We produce techno and spent years DJing, so these were built for our own tracks first and kept going until they were good enough to sell. That is why each one does a single job and does it properly.
What that means for you
A real person answers
If you write to Takt Audio Labs, the person who answers is the person who wrote the code and designed everything you are looking at. No ticket number, nothing escalated.
Nothing here phones home. A plug-in contacts a server only to activate or release your licence, and otherwise only to ask whether a newer version exists. No account, no cloud, nothing watching what you do with it.
Your licence stays yours
It does not expire, and it covers three machines. Release one yourself from inside the plug-in when you sell a Mac or replace a drive.
If you ever run out of slots, write to us and we will sort it out for you. There is nothing to wait for and nobody to convince.
Mac, for now
Takt plug-ins are Audio Unit and VST® 3, for macOS 11 or later, on Apple Silicon and Intel.
A Windows version is planned, with no date yet. If enough people ask for it, that moves up. Write and tell us if you are one of them.
Try it first, if you want to
These are built to be bought and used. If you would rather be sure first, DOLMEN and LINTEL both have a seven-day trial: full function, nothing greyed out and nothing watermarked.
Every product page says exactly what the plug-in does, and the refund policy does not require you to argue for it. If you are wondering whether something here fits the way you work, write and ask.
