Good

Seems to have a good premise. New recording, starting, stopping pausing the basic functions are all there. As there is considerable space in the buttons area, I would like to see the recording control button graphics a bit larger and spaced out, though when you customize you can do that. The start button text needs to be a graphic like on a current consumer electronics (that graphic is the red dot append button). The start button should be the same size as the other buttons and in the immediate area. Put a button outline around the graphics and the start text if you have to use the text to label the button. Develop the tagging concept a bit more and think about making it more inituitive. Also, maybe a gesture or keystroke combination to execute a control function. If you can set preferences for keyboard control, track pad, etc. and some thing that the user can vary depending on their situation. In audio applications the space bar is often used to start a recording, stop a recording and it might work here. Interesting idea and could have some real benefit if its tweaked a bit. thx
