Hi! I’m after a bit of advice again please! I fancy making a music video on an iPhone and I’ve started collecting clips, but I don’t know where to start re. Editing software. Has anyone had any experience making videos on an iPhone? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for replying Analogstoy! I`m using an iphone for convenience really, so if I see something I want to record on the spur of the moment I can. I shall check out open shot though, thanks for the tip!

Hi Sky, does it need to be on iPhone, there are a number of freeware video editing suites, of various quality, foremost Open Shot - dont know if it got a Ios version thu.

New visuals for a last year`s tune! # would like to dedicate their song`s video to their friend and supporting fan who has passed away recently. He loved this track, so please be with him in soul for a loud headbang and a cigarette maybe. Credits on it, but in case you can`t have enough, find it here: https://youtu.be/MNq_mB7UQKI
Cheers!

Hi all
First time here in the lobby and asking for advice really. Juxta, quite rightly suggested that I do Twitter and reluctantly have realised he is right. Any advice you can give me regarding it or support would be really helpful as I`ve got no idea what I`m doing really. I`ll link what I have done so far to my account so you can have a look if you get the time. Thanks everyone - any ideas gratefully received!

Welcome to the Twitterverse! :-)

One suggestion would be to go to the Members tab above and follow everyone`s Twitter account.

After a few weeks you can then use https://manageflitter.com/unfollow to unfollow anyone who didn`t follow back. You can use the free version to unfollow about 50 a day and you can sort the list by date followed so you can start with the oldest first.

I liked and reposted your track! Atom Collectors are great at tweeting when your track has been listened to and also there are lots of reposting groups like The Retweeter who will repost your tracks if you like/repost and you can get more followers that way. Try not to get too disheartened if no-one likes the track you have just spent ages on and are excited to share. Social media is crowded with people posting their music, and it is really hard to listen to them all! Hope that was helpful!

Hi! Can I ask for some advice please? I need to buy a new audio interface as my current one is using me as an earth and I don’t want to die just yet! I’m looking at a Focus rite itrack solo, as it seems to be compatible with GarageBand and iPads/Macs. Does anyone have any experience with this one? Or can anyone recommend a better one?

Ha! Thanks! I will definitely get back to work singing away in my homemade recording studio made from a wardrobe lined with egg boxes and duvets! Meanwhile, in a parallel universe, Skyline Tigers has just finished recording at Abbey Road Studios and is relaxing on her yacht while her personal recording technician is mixing her track!😂😂😂😂

I always liked a lot of FocusRite products so there is no wonder, at all, that their interface is good. Another not small issue is that all their products are built like tanks, basically idiot proof and built to take whatever punishment you can dish out. Now get back to work l,l,l sorry...Happy music making.

p.s. I got my FocusRite yesterday and I`ve been recording with gusto. Pleased with the quality of sound you get AND no risk of electrocution, Bonus!!!

OK, thanks for the feedback guys, really appreciate it!

I don`t think it`s the newest model in their line up as I`ve had mine for several years now. But Apogee does tend to update their line fairly often. I didn`t have much use for 10 zillion inputs so that model did it for me. Actually the built in interface for the Mac wasn`t terrible but I could immediately notice the difference in sound quality when i stepped up.

Damn, I didn`t realise the new Apogee was called the "One". What I meant was that I use an Apogee one!

I have an Apogee Jam, which I use for guitar and you can get them on eBay pretty cheaply now.

I use and have used the most inexpensive Apogee One interface for years and it has always given me clean, clear sound. For the most part it`s set and forget. I say for the most part as at first there is a bit of tweaking but once you find your settings your done.

The Apogee one looks great but a bit out of my price range! 😱Thanks for the reply though Juxta! Appreciate it. I think I’ll go with the focus!

07 November 2017 16:33
Skyline Tigers
Thanks, I`ll look at that one too!

I`ve been using the Apogee one and it`s been fantastic but I have no experience with others.

Music isn`t a place to put your hate. There is a big difference between constructive criticism and hate/bullying. And pardon me for saying it but if you can`t tell the difference keep your mouth shut!!!
Thanks Juxta (John) for laying down the law in this respect.
