Overview

Cyborg Llama is an app that automates asynchronous collaboration on multi-track video/audio recording projects. In other words: no-editing-required 'Hollywood Squares' videos!

Cyborg Llama is an app that automates asynchronous collaboration on multi-track video/audio recording projects. 

 

In other words: Instant 'Hollywood Squares' performance project - just add musicians.

 

Cyborg Llama eliminates all video and audio editing necessary to remote ensemble collaborations. All musicians need to do is perform into a laptop or desktop camera and microphone alongside their colleagues and, bada-bing bada-boom, you have your recording. 

Cyborg Llama works on any laptop or desktop computer (it does not work on iPads, tablets, surfaces, or mobile devices) with an accessible camera and microphone through a recent version of the Firefox (or Chrome) web browser.  You'll just need wired headphones, and a google account (gmail or other domain serviced by google) without Family Link enabled.

Cyborg Llama is FREE forever to use the free version.

Pricing for the full version:

The project creator pays for licensing that covers all their collaborators.

$5/month for 1-10 users

$10/month for 11-25 users

$20/month for 26-50 users

$30/month for 51-75 users

etc

*NOTE: yearly subscriptions also available*

For example: I get four friends together to play in a quintet.  As the project creator, I would pay $5 per month we work.  Once I add my friends to my subscription account, they are included in the licensing. Their cost is covered in the $5 I paid.

Cyborg Llama is a brilliant app for ensembles to rehearse virtually! I am an ensemble director (classical guitar ensembles) and have been using it with groups of students since the summer of 2020. The app is set up in a way that it encourages students to develop their listening, synchronizing and blending skills - just as they would develop in live rehearsals. I love that I can give individual feedback, select specific passages for students to work on, and once the project is ready, I can easily export it as a video! A huge benefit of using CL is that students who tended to "blend into the background" during in-person rehearsals are becoming much stronger players and the entire ensemble is improving dramatically as a result. Once we are back to in-person rehearsals, I plan to continue to use CL so that students continue their ensemble practice at home between in-person rehearsals. I also use the app for my private students so that we can play duets "together", which has really made lessons more enjoyable! I highly recommend this app - it's truly a secret weapon for ensemble directors! Created with ensemble directors in mind, the functionality of CL really can't be beat by any other app out there.

Cyborg Llama is a well-crafted app for asynchronous music-and-video collaboration. It comes with an extensive collection of helpful tutorials, and its creators are dedicated to helping users get the most out of its many features. The app was thoughtfully designed with ensemble musicians in mind, but can easily be used for individual projects (be sure to check out the demos for examples) and as a practice tool. Highly recommend!

Your second oldest review (of 11 total) is less than a week old. All but one is a glowing form letter. I couldn’t even stand to watch more than half of your first feature demo video because of how many errors and doctored video was happening. High-hat “tsss” don’t match until you change the... volume? Then, the quality is clearly difference. Not to mention the awkward identical quality of motion in the supposedly “slowed down” videos. Vibrato and other motions would not have been that fast.

Cyborg Llama is easy to use, and it helps tremendously to facilitate asynchronous performance. After spending countless hours lining up individual tracks on various projects, this program is a godsend. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in asynchronous collaboration. I also encourage its use as a practice tool for individuals and educational programs alike.

Cyborg Llama is great! I am able to easily record for myself, or collaborate with others. I highly recommend this app. It is by far the best one I have used for recording as a group or as an individual.

Cyborgllama is a really cool app! it has different modes, like individual, or collaboration, plus more! This was SUPER helpful since I'm in an orchestra! It's very simple to figure out and there are a ton of tutorials. I would REALLY recommend this app!

Cyborg Llama is amazing! I love how there are so many different modes and levels to help me practice. Once I'm ready and I've practiced enough, I can just go right to collaboration mode and collaborate with all the other amazing musicians in the orchestra. :)
