seconds
I made an app for music producers to tease their music in a fancy
way. Something that looks better than this:

|
| 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/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

| samokhovets wrote:

| 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.

|
| 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)

| 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. My
