Yeah, I've been considering this type | of pricing. For example, you buy X amount of seconds and use | them whenever you want. I'm curious, are you a musician? | immy wrote: | Curious to hear what you learned so far in doing market research | with artists | samokhovets wrote: | Hey!

Fixing! | ugh123 wrote: | Cool thanks and awesome project =) | BLKNSLVR wrote: | ProjectM is the spiritual successor to Winamp's visualiser: | | https://github.com/projectM-visualizer/projectm | samokhovets wrote: | Looks cool! But the point was to provide a _fast_ way to make | vids. It 's not about git cloning, building from source etc. | It's about compromise between good UX and how output looks. | m3kw9 wrote: | Looks like a practice site for Saas, seriously, what was the | market research like to see if someone would pay for this | service? | zerkten wrote: | I suspect that's their point, or maybe that of their client. | Following the footer you find that it's built by a company that | focuses on MVPs: | | "A small team of high-skilled product developers has created | and launched mini-startups for the last 5 years. We will build | and help to validate your product idea in 30 days." | samokhovets wrote: | In this case, that's our product. Managed by musician (me) :) | | Sorry for being offtopic, but you can find my artist page if | you search for "Tequila Funk". I make electronic music. | samokhovets wrote: | Hey, there's was no specific "market research" or anything like | that. | | I run a music project called Tequila Funk (you can check | Spotify). | | I noticed a lot of musicians just record their phone screen | with Dropbox app player (because they're exporting snippets to | Ableton Live) or recording their DAW (which requires setup). | Some examples: | | https://twitter.com/littlesnakexoxo/status/16470785687852277... | https://twitter.com/eprombeats/status/1647072160547246081 | https://twitter.com/nyptane/status/1669404466083143680 | https://twitter.com/jayjaytet/status/1639613178412670980 | https://twitter.com/staynsdubs/status/1664496810268688384 | | All I wanted is to provide a way to pick a file from Dropbox | and get a video to post in your socials in around ~60 seconds. | And do this from your phone! | | I see people telling that there's a lot of open source | visualizers, Winamp and all that jazz. Yeah, sure. But for me | personally it's tough to setup all these. All I wanted is to | make videos fast, even without using a computer. Most musicians | can't clone github repo or setup audio routing lol | 57FkMytWjyFu wrote: | What's tough for me is finding a reason to give you 8 dollars | a month. All that other stuff you talk about is pretty easy. | This is not an audience of people who are intimidated by | github or audio routing. | noizejoy wrote: | As a music maker, I'm very hesitant to upload my songs to a new | cloud service until after they're published. | | This doesn't invalidate this new service, but it might limit its | competitiveness compared to self hosted apps. | valevk wrote: | Looks nice, but are there any other visuals than the three you | demoed? Also, is your user name in any way related to the | bulgarian mobster that got killed in Amsterdam? | samokhovets wrote: | And about the username - nope, it's not related. It's my last | name :) | samokhovets wrote: | Hey, thank you for feedback! At the moment, there's only three: | | 1. CDJ 3000 2. Specre 3. Circle | | But I was working on another two and decided not to include in | the first version: | | 4. Trip (https://cdn.banger.show/visuals/160-Tequila-Funk-Drop- | The-Bo...) 5. Perimeter | (https://cdn.banger.show/visuals/1579016767_flux-pavilion- | i-c...) | | Be careful if your internet traffic is limited, videos are not | compressed/optimized and 150-300mb both. | hideo wrote: | i have the inexplicable urge to whip a llama's ass | justzisguyuknow wrote: | Seriously though is this app a joke?

I'd pay for an api that | did this. We have a platform that gets a lot of audio files and | it would be cool to run them through something like this to | generate the video viz for it. | | I think the term is audiogram but minus the transcript. | | While writing this reply I found this https://getaudiogram.com/ | So maybe it's something to check out. (I'm not affiliated) | samokhovets wrote: | Hey, we've coded internal api that takes three params: | | 1. Audio file URL 2. Duration in frames 3. Frame rate (FPS) | | And outputs a .mp4 video file to S3 bucket. | | So it's quite easy to make a REST API version. Let's keep in | touch if solution mentioned above does not satisfy you.

I like the spirit, but I think you need to reconsider | what you're charging for what you're actually offering. | bob-09 wrote: | None of the visuals are loading for me.
