Could be great, but.......

I’ve made a few videos with this app now and I really like it. The is a HUGE but however....

Whilst the app is easy to use and enjoyable, it’s biggest weakness is the lack of microphone. You need to use your headphones and play to the click track which is great for staying in time and I like that you can play along to whatever you have already recorded. But if you want decent sound quality you need to use a good quality microphone. You can get good quality microphones to plug into iPhones and iPads, but there isn’t a way to plug both a microphone and headphones into your iPhone/iPad and use this app. I tried using Bluetooth earbuds but there is a lag issue and it just doesn’t work. Using a splitter was also no good.

This app could be fabulous, but until there is a way to use a microphone and headphones together it will never be great. At best will be a fun toy to mess around with for kids, which maybe is all the developers ever wanted. But if they could fix this issue it would become an even bigger hit and I suspect they would gain significantly more subscribers. Now there’s an incentive for the developers....!

Updated - a great app, I have a suggestion 🙂

This app is fantastic, I haven’t experienced many latency problems but I do think that a useful feature would be the ability of the user to slightly but accurately adjust the timing of each track manually after recording, even if just by half a second, this would allow the user to correct whatever latency they may experience, since every device is different, and latency may be very low for some people and others higher. Latency is much more of a problem when trying to record something very accurately like a fast rap vocal or a drum beat, since even the smallest amount of lag can be very bad in this situation. Latency may also be caused by the input device used such as the itrack solo or Korg Go Mixer Pro etc. I feel that achieving zero latency is probably impossible, so a way to manually correct it after recording would be a real game changer. I realise that this may be difficult to implement but it’s just an idea 💡🤘🤓 The app is awesome guys 😁

Developer Response ,

Hi there!

Thanks for the feedback. Latency can happen on older devices. If it does, please force close all apps, then perform a force restart on your device. If you have any other questions for concerns, please feel free to contact us Team@Mixcord.co

I love this app 🥳

I have been singing for a long time and I love to harmonise but I couldn’t do it on my own. I found this app and so many people like me that are really inspiring to watch and listen to.

The app in itself is really good with no major kinks apart from the lack of microphone. For me this is not really a problem as I have several pairs of headphones, but I can see why it could be for other people. The creation of the music is good, it has lots of different formats, fonts and SFX and it is hard to fault for that.

If you love to sing as well I definitely recommend this app for you, it is so fun 🤩 and I love it 🥰.
