New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Tape It, iOS recording app for musicians

Show HN: Tape It, iOS recording app for musicians
36 by earthnail | 17 comments on Hacker News.
Hello HN, Over the last 15 months, two friends and I developed the music recording app we felt we wanted based on our own needs as musicians. It's called Tape It [1] and has just recently hit the Apple App Store [2]. We put a lot of effort into a good UX to help musicians really focus on playing their instrument instead of pretending to be a recording engineer. The app records in stereo on newer iPhones (although that's a premium feature; the free version only records in standard mono audio quality). I would be really grateful for advice from this community on how to best approach marketing. We had a great TechCrunch article covering our launch [3], and we posted it on various music websites. Turns out advertising on Google or Apple Search is a dark art, though. We have some good ideas for developing a good social media presence, but they will take time. Please hit us with feedback, opinions and advice that you think a young indie company like us can use at this point :). And of course, please go and try the app! Best, Thomas [1] https://tape.it [2] https://get.tape.it [3] https://tcrn.ch/3nbODHD
