Tape Deck

Coming to iPhone

Tape your decks.

Clamp your iPhone at the booth, plug it into the mixer and play. Tape Deck records the whole set, then cuts the best moments into clips for you, right on the phone.

  • One phone
  • One cable
  • No editing

How it works

From the booth to your camera roll

  1. 1

    Clamp and plug in

    Clamp your iPhone at the booth, facing you with the crowd behind. Plug it into the mixer with a USB cable.

  2. 2

    Play your set

    Press record and forget about it. Picture from the phone and sound straight from the mixer, together in one file.

  3. 3

    Get your clips

    When you stop, Tape Deck finds the best moments, cuts them into clips and makes a video of the whole set. It all happens on the phone.

The cut

Clips that feel like a real edit

Not just the loudest thirty seconds. Tape Deck reads the room and the music, the way an editor would.

It watches the room

Smiles, hands in the air, big reactions. Where the crowd lights up is where Tape Deck makes the cut.

It counts the beat

Every clip comes in on the downbeat at the top of a phrase and goes out on the beat, so nothing starts mid bar.

Mixer sound

Your clips sound like your mix, not like a phone in a loud room.

The whole set too

Alongside the clips you get one video of the full set, ready for YouTube or your press kit.

Four looks

Natural, Teal and orange, Muted and Max HDR. Pick the one that suits the room.

Nothing to upload

The cutting happens on the phone itself. No sending a two hour set to a server and waiting.

Questions

Good to know

When can I get it?

Tape Deck is in testing now. Join the list and you will hear the day it opens.

Which iPhones does it work on?

iPhone 15 Pro and newer.

What gear do I need?

A clamp to hold the phone at the booth and a USB cable to the mixer. That is it.

What if I can't plug into the mixer?

It still works. Tape Deck records with the phone's own microphone, and it can also cut clips from a set video already on your phone.

Where do my clips go?

Straight to your camera roll, ready to post.
