Professional-grade video editing software starts at roughly twice the price, and allows you to work at a higher level on a much wider range of projects. At $10/mo, it's entering into the category of professional software costs. Let’s talk about the biggest drawback, the price of the app.

According to one friend, the app has moderate editing features, but “nothing to write home about.” You may still want to export your video when you’ve finished recording and chop it up in iMovie or another video editing platform. Dubbing over tracks that vary in tempo can be hellish, and having the ability to sync metronomes between recording sessions is very useful. Probably not up to the task of making YouTube or high quality music video, but for this current time where sharing art at a human level seems much more important than the 'quality' surrounding it, it does the task. If you're specifically trying to collaborate with other artists and produce something that sounds live and looks like you’re playing with your friends, this provides an incredibly easy interface for videos destined for social media.

Matching different takes at the resolution required for music is pretty difficult in iMovie, for example. Having the ability to record, sync videos-either looping with yourself or recording with other musicians-and do basic audio editing at the same time without having to move files between apps or devices is a huge time-saver. You just record into your phone or a mic, set the number of frames for those participating, and the recording/sharing process is very simple. Many thanks to Julius Thor Bjornson, Richard Osban, Meara O’Malley, and Conor Hearn for sharing their thoughts for this post! In the words of Conor Hearn, guitarist extraordinaire/half of the duo Rakish: “It sorta makes things more convenient.? But then other things less convenient.” What follows is a compilation of feedback I got from friends who are using what appears to be the simplest app for creating grid videos: Acapella. My takeaway from these conversations is that the Acapella app definitely serves a purpose, but is far from perfect. You’re wondering, how did everyone get so good at this tech stuff? Well, it turns out there’s an app for that.

You hit up Facebook and see your friends making dope videos where they show off how many instruments they can play and how good they are at editing videos. If you’re like me, you’re sitting at home and thinking about how much you miss playing music with other people.
