Interface for professional
recording studio

The custom made program was designed for a ‘do it your self’ recording session in a studio specialized in recording demos. The idea behind the program was to allow a singer to enter the studio and to record its own demo without the need of a assistant / operator.

The program takes a set of pictures of singer’s face with a digital TWAIN camera. Then the singer chooses a song (negative version) and records it (in maximum 3 attempts). When the recording process is ready, the program burns the song on a CD (CDDA format). Then the user’s picture is printed together with its personal data on an auto-adhesive label (later the user will stick the label on the CD by itself).

The application was designed for persons who never used a computer. All actions are made just with the mouse (no keyboard). There are no other elements/widows (not even the Windows taskbar) visible on screen except this dedicated interface.
