Create audio recordings in multi-user sessions by a single button tap.

Simply put, Bandcorder allows to create, start & stop audio recordings easily in a multi-user, shared session using a smartphone app. The recordings may be done using a (high quality) microphone attached to a server (potentially a laptop).
During jam sessions or Band practice the need to do simple recordings arises frequently. Since rehearsal rooms are usually not equipped with the gear to perform this type of recording, musicians often resort to using their phones. This comes with the following problems:
- At best mediocore audio quality with little to no configuration options
- Having to manually share the recordings with bandmates via different channels (e.g. messengers) later on
Bandcorder solves both of these problems in a simple manner.
You open the app and connect to the desktop application via its IP. Once the connection is established,
the client is part of a recording session.
Any client may start or stop recordings and the recording state is synced between all participants.
The server uses the default Microphone of the system to create the recordings. The audio files are
saved in a directory corresponding to the current day with a file name resembling the current time.
To share the recordings quickly with bandmates, a Cloud storage sync (e.g. using Dropbox) may be set
for the folder.
Binary versions of the desktop application and the app will be provided as part of the 2.0 milestone. Currently you have to take a look at the readmes of the app and desktop application and build them yourself.
