Wake ULTRA for Windows  1.1.0
Lucian Labs  -  https://waveloop.app/wake

A sound-activated field recorder. Set a threshold, arm it, walk away.
It only records when sound crosses the line, and every wake lands in
its own file.


RUN IT
  1. Unzip this folder anywhere you like (Desktop, Documents...).
  2. Double-click wake.exe.
  There is no installer, and nothing to uninstall.

  wake draws its own window: drag the top strip to move it, drag any edge
  to resize, and the - and x at the top right minimise and close it.
  The library and INPUTS open on the left; the window grows to hold them.


"WINDOWS PROTECTED YOUR PC"
  The first time you open it, Windows SmartScreen may stop it. wake isn't
  signed with a paid code-signing certificate yet, so Windows doesn't
  recognise the publisher. Click "More info", then "Run anyway". You only
  do this once.

  Before you do, you can check this is the file we published: its SHA-256
  is on the download page. In PowerShell:
      Get-FileHash .\wake.exe


WHERE THINGS GO
  Recordings   Music\wake\<date>\<time>\
               (change it: click WAKE at the top > WRITE FOLDER)
  Settings     %APPDATA%\WaveLoop\wake.ini
  Log          %USERPROFILE%\.waveloop\wake.log

  Want it all in one folder instead (a USB stick, say)? Put an empty file
  named wake.ini next to wake.exe and wake keeps its settings there,
  with recordings in a "wake" folder beside it.


AUDIO
  Click WAKE at the top, or press CTRL + , to open the options: pick your input there.
  wake starts on your Windows default microphone. If another app is
  holding it, wake opens the next one it can and says so in the status
  line at the bottom.
  A WASAPI device with EXCLUSIVE on gives the lowest latency (it takes the
  device, so other apps can't play through it while wake is open).
  BUFFER shows the latency the device reports.
  This build does not include ASIO.


INPUTS
  Press A, or click the symbol at the top left: a panel slides out on the
  left with every input your interface has. Each one has a level, a mute,
  a pan and a link to its neighbour. What they add up to is what wake
  hears and records; GAIN comes after it. Keys 1-4 switch between four
  setups. It is saved per interface and shared with the other WaveLoop
  apps.


LIBRARY
  Press B, or LIB: it slides out on the left, beside the scope. While its
  edge is gold the keys are its own; click wake's side to take them back.


KEYS
  SPACE arm / stop     G hold the gate     L latch     M monitor
  B library            TAB EQ view         X cull the last take
  A inputs             CTRL + , options    F1 how it works    T training
  In the library: SPACE play / stop, TAB sessions / takes, C continue a
  session, O open its folder, DEL delete, ESC close.
  While INPUTS is open: 1-4 scenes, arrows pick and set the level,
  ENTER mutes, ESC closes.


REMOVE IT
  Delete this folder. To clear its settings too, delete
  %APPDATA%\WaveLoop\wake.ini. Your recordings stay in Music\wake until
  you delete them.


Needs Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit.
