About Tapko
I make the tools I wish already existed.
I’m David Guva. I’m just a solo developer, but I care a lot about the plugins I make. I play live, I usually run my own sound on solo shows, and I use Loopy Pro a lot. Tapko grew out of wanting software that gets out of the way and helps me finish the job.
Why I started
I’m not the most technical person when it comes to music tools, and I never wanted to feel like I had to understand every little thing just to make something sound good. When I’m doing my own sound on solo shows, or working in Loopy Pro, I want things that are easy to work with and don’t make me stop and learn a whole system of compressors, routing, and menus before I can actually play.
What I build for
I care about three things: that it’s easy to use, reasonably priced, and actually useful. If a feature makes the app harder to understand or doesn’t help in a real session, I’d rather leave it out.
The direction
Tapko is just me building one useful thing at a time: drum tools, vocal tools, utility plugins, and whatever else solves a real problem. I’ve got a lot of ideas, but I also really want feedback and I like talking about the plugins with people. I want the apps to feel calm, fast, and honest. No extra noise, just tools that work when you need them.
