Sharing  to  SoundCloud

 

From  the  Session  View,  select  share.   You  can  only  share  a  performance  recording,  so  make  sure  you  
have  one  recorded  first.  You  will  need  an  internet  connection  to  transfer  your  recording.    SoundCloud  is  
a  3

rd  

party  internet  service.   Visit  

www.soundcloud.com  

to  find  out  more.   You  will  also  need  a  

SoundCloud  account.    At  the  time  of  this  writing,  SoundCloud  offers  excellent  free  accounts.   And  that’s  
all  you  should  need  to  share  with  your  friends  on  Facebook,  Twitter,  etc.   This  is  also  how  you  can  enter  
future  TC-­‐Helicon  competitions  to  win  prizes  so  we  suggest  you  get  to  know  this  feature.  From  the  
Upload  To  SoundCloud  view,  you  can  name  your  track  as  it  will  appear  in  SoundCloud.   Then  you  must  
log  in.   You  will  be  directed  to  an  Apple  Safari  browser  where  you  must  enter  your  credentials  or  create  
a  new  SoundCloud  account.   You  should  automatically  be  returned  to  VoiceJam  when  you  finish,  but  if  
not  simply  re-­‐launch  the  VoiceJam  after  you’ve  signed  in.  

 

After  you  have  logged  in,  you  can  simply  press  upload  and  after  a  short  while  (longer  if  you  have  a  slow  
internet  connection  or  if  your  performance  is  very  long)  the  progress  bar  will  eventually  fill  up  and  your  
track  will  appear  on  SoundCloud.    From  SoundCloud  it’s  extremely  easy  to  link  your  performances  on  
Facebook  etc.    You  can  also  choose  “high  definition  upload”.    This  will  upload  your  recording  
uncompressed,  meaning  it  will  take  a  lot  longer  to  upload  but  will  sound  slightly  better  once  uploaded.    
We  recommend  the  regular  upload  setting  because  the  compression  sounds  find  and  reduces  upload  
time  and  bandwidth  significantly.    
 

Shots  Mode

 

Touching  the  drum  icon  at  the  bottom  right  toggles  shots  mode.    You’ll  know  you’re  in  shots  mode  when  
there  is  a  green  bar  underlining  the  drum  icon,  and  the  waveform  and  play  icons  also  turn  green.    This  
mode  is  really  fun.    Now  when  you  tap  on  a  loop’s  play  icon,  it  will  be  instantly  triggered.    Not  only  that,  
you  can  tap  anywhere  around  the  waveform  and  the  loop  will  be  instantly  triggered  from  that  point.    To  
top  it  all  off,  you  can  drag  your  finger  around  the  green  waveform  and  you’ll  “scrub”  the  audio.    Try  it  
out.
