Skald turns the iPhones and iPads you already own into a synchronized multi-camera recording rig. Set up in minutes, press record, play your set β€” and walk away with one finished multi-cam video. No timeline editing, no syncing clips by hand, no cloud. Built for musicians recording themselves: rehearsals, live gigs, music videos, recitals. Solo artists to full bands. HOW IT WORKS β€’ Skald runs on your iPad (or iPhone) as the controller β€’ The free companion app Skald Cam runs on up to four other iPhones or iPads β€” each one a camera angle β€’ Everything connects over your own Wi-Fi or an iPhone hotspot. Each camera pairs in seconds β€” Skald Cam finds Skald automatically β€’ Skald mixes the angles live and records one synchronized 1080p video LIVE MIX MODES β€’ Split β€” all cameras in a grid β€’ Democratic β€” switches automatically between cameras in a predefined pattern β€’ Spotlight β€” keeps the focus on one performer, with the others rotating in β€’ Manual β€” you direct the mix Real-time clock sync keeps every angle locked together. AUDIO THAT TAKES CARE OF ITSELF β€’ Plug in a USB audio interface for professional stereo sound, or record from any camera's mic β€’ Rank your sources in a priority list β€” Skald records from the one you want and fails over automatically if it drops out mid-take β€’ Optional loudness normalization with YouTube, Apple Music, and broadcast presets β€” off by default so your raw levels stay untouched MADE FOR SETS, NOT CLIPS β€’ Plan a setlist and roll through it song by song β€’ Start recording with a tap β€” or let Skald start when the music does β€’ Drop markers at the moments worth finding again β€’ Automatic intro titles rendered into each recording β€” if you want them WANT TO EDIT IT YOURSELF? β€’ Turn on multi-file recording and every camera is also saved as its own full-frame 1080p file β€” frame-aligned with the mix, no manual syncing β€’ Editor import files (OpenTimelineIO + Final Cut Pro 7 XML) land next to the videos: open in DaVinci Resolve or Premiere Pro and every angle sits on its own track, master audio included β€’ Share a whole recording β€” all angles plus import files β€” in one go YOUR RECORDINGS STAY YOURS No accounts. No analytics. No cloud. Video never leaves your devices β€” recordings land on the controller, organized per project, fully accessible in the Files app for backup and export.
