r/violinist: Multi-Cam and Stem Split for Reddit Intonation and Technique Feedback
This page explains how to record multi-cam violin videos (or stem split a track and play along) in SONGTAKE so you can post to r/violinist and get real feedback on intonation, bow technique, and expression. Multicam lets Reddit see your bow and fingerboard; stem split lets you practice with any backing and submit a clear take.
This is YOU?
You need accompaniment or a backing track—finding good play-along tracks is a hassle.
Single-camera clips don't stand out on Reddit; people scroll past.
You'd post more if you could use any piece from Spotify or YouTube and show multiple angles.
Good feedback needs a clear recording and visible technique—not one distant, muddy take.
Pro Tip: TIP: Use SONGTAKE to record multi-cam violin (e.g. bow + fingerboard or full body) so r/violinist can see your technique. Optionally stem split a track from Spotify or YouTube to get accompaniment, play along, and record your take. Export one focused clip and post with a clear ask—intonation, bow control, or expression. Reddit gives useful notes when they can see and hear what you're doing.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I set up multicam for violin for r/violinist?
Place one phone to capture your bow hand and one for the fingerboard (or one full body). Start a multi-track session in SONGTAKE—each device syncs automatically. Record your take, export one video, and post to r/violinist with a clear ask (e.g. intonation, bow distribution, expression).
Can I use stem split to get accompaniment for a piece?
Yes. Import a recording from Spotify or YouTube (e.g. orchestral or piano version), stem split to isolate or reduce parts, and play along. Record your violin over the backing. Export and post to r/violinist so they can hear your take clearly against the accompaniment.
Why does multicam get better feedback on r/violinist?
Reddit rewards when they can see and hear technique. One angle often misses bow contact, finger placement, or posture. Multicam lets them comment on intonation, bow speed, and expression. Clear audio + visible technique = useful notes instead of vague praise or silence.
How do I avoid sounding like self-promo on r/violinist?
Keep the clip short (30–90 sec) and say what you want feedback on—e.g. intonation in a specific passage, bow control, or expression. Add 'Work in progress' or 'Looking for feedback on...' Reddit rewards when it reads as violinist asking for help, not dropping a performance.
What makes SONGTAKE different from voice memos?
SONGTAKE records in true stereo with automatic cloud backup, project organization, and multi-track capabilities. Unlike voice memos that create a graveyard of unnamed files, SONGTAKE keeps everything organized, synced across devices, and ready to develop into full productions.
Can I use SONGTAKE with just one phone?
Absolutely! SONGTAKE works perfectly with a single phone for recording arrangements, backing vocals, and layered instruments. While multiple phones give you multi-angle coverage and better isolation, one phone is all you need to create professional multi-track recordings with video overdubbing.
Can I use SONGTAKE for professional music recording?
Yes! SONGTAKE seamlessly transitions from mobile recording to professional desktop production. Start with iPhone for song ideas, then open the same project on Mac with a professional 64-channel interface for mixing and mastering. It's the bridge between inspiration and production.
How does multi-phone recording work?
Place phones near each instrument for dedicated microphones. One tap starts all phones simultaneously, and they automatically sync after recording. No manual alignment needed—just position phones, hit record, and get professional multi-track isolation from devices you already own.
