Some of the things that I found difficult regarding UI/UX were things like the fact that the 4 track FX control icons were hidden. I wanted to be able to use them while recording, so I decided they needed to be surfaced and easily accessible. To do this, I would need more space in each potential track pod, so I decided to chop the waveform graphics in half. This would allow me to keep them fairly large, and the bottom half is just a reflection of the top, and since we aren’t doing any fine zooming or granular editing, the wave fidelity change would suffice. I later changed my mind about this after looking at it for many hours, and decided that in my subsequent iPad mocks I would use a funkier- looking, more visually “organic” waveform. It felt like I needed to keep somewhat more to the norm with this element.
I liked the idea of the “me” icon following the circular theme and/or spotlight inference, so I altered that too; it fit well with the circular video screen idea. I Also played a bit with the fun idea of a skull instead of an X for a delete icon. The Save file icon needed to be surfaced too, and more consistent.
