audiogearlog

Python scripts to generate a printable Audio Gear Log notebook — a studio equipment tracking and maintenance logbook designed for technicians, engineers, and studio owners.

The project outputs KDP-ready PDF files for both the book interior and the full wrap cover (front, spine, back).

  • KDP bleed and safe margins

Generated PDFs

• audio_gear_log_content_kdp.pdf
  Interior pages only (no cover), formatted for print-on-demand.

• audio_gear_log_cover_kdp.pdf
  Full spread cover including back, spine, and front.
