Audiopile – Audio collaboration multitool (ios, android, web)
What’s up HN! I’m a musician turned developer and this is the app of my dreams! Audiopile allows you to record and upload audio in various formats, transcodes everything server side to create a lower-res streamable version, and stores the original and it’s transcoded version in the cloud. Recordings can then be shared between Audiopile users in private groups or re-downloaded at full resolution. After years of playing in bands and struggling with large format audio, I’m finally starting to be satisfied with this solution. Plenty of tools exist to share large files, but Audiopile is designed…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
What’s up HN! I’m a musician turned developer and this is the app of my dreams! Audiopile allows you to record and upload audio in various formats, transcodes everything server side to create a lower-res streamable version, and stores the original and it’s transcoded version in the cloud. Recordings can then be shared between Audiopile users in private groups or re-downloaded at full resolution. After years of playing in bands and struggling with large format audio, I’m finally starting to be satisfied with this solution. Plenty of tools exist to share large files, but Audiopile is designed to make sharing and previewing these files easy and fun. Transferring and previewing audio is clunky at best with current tools. You shouldn’t have to download giant files to your phone if you only want to give them a quick listen. A side benefit of creating this app has been the endless stream of lovely new music that my friends are sharing with me every day. Sometimes the coolest music is the stuff that isn’t out yet, and I’m part of a few great idea feeds and rehearsal groups. The secret music being created and sent only to you and a few others in real-time makes this app a whole lot of fun! Tech info: Client-side it’s React and React-Native. All core business logic for uploading and state management is fully isomorphic JS. for the heavier audio recording and playback functionality the app bridges out to native code on each platform (Swift & Java). Then there’s a whole lot of Python, Terraform and GCP behind the curtain. Audiopile is a totally indie, bootstrapped app with no outside funding, so please tell your friends! -Brian [email protected] https://www.audiopile.cloud/ iOS: https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id1463418804?pt=118611681&ct=SHOW%20HN&mt=8 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.audiopile Web App: https://app.audiopile.cloud/ Product Hunt: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/audiopile

- TITape It – iOS recording app for musicians2021 · ▲116
Hello HN, Over the last 15 months, two friends and I developed the music recording app we felt we wanted based on our own needs as musicians. It's called Tape It [1] and has just recently hit the Apple App Store [2]. We put a lot of effort into a good UX to help musicians really focus on playing their instrument instead of pretending to be a recording engineer. The app records in stereo on newer iPhones (although that's a premium feature; the free version only records in standard mono audio quality). I would be really grateful for advice from this community on how to best approach marketing.…

It's been a long slow hog and I almost gave up a few times (more than a few) but when covid hit this year it gave me some time to really focus on my product. There were stupid user journey things that I knew needed fixed. There were some features I knew needed added. And I knew the pricing was wrong. I spent some hardcore time working on these things back in March / April and since then my MRR has continued to grow. My product is SongBox (https://songbox.rocks) - it's an alternative to things like bandcamp and soundcloud for creators who need to share audio files privately.…
