5 Pro Tips: Recording Acoustic Guitar at Home with Just One Phone (or More!)

This is YOU?

Your acoustic guitar and vocal recordings sound flat and lifeless.
Can't capture that professional stereo sound you hear on records.
Recording with one phone is fine, but you want that wide, cinematic sound.
Can't afford expensive microphones or professional audio interfaces.
You're missing multiple camera angles to create engaging video content.

Consejo Pro: TIP: SONGTAKE turns your iPhones into a professional multi-mic recording studio. One phone records in stereo—two or three phones create wide stereo effects and give you multiple video angles for FREE.

Características Clave del Software

1-Phone Setup
One iPhone captures acoustic guitar in true stereo at 12-18 inches from the soundhole. Already better than mono—your instrument sounds natural and three-dimensional with two built-in mics.
2-Phone Setup - Stereo Effect
Position one phone 2 feet to the left of your guitar, the other 2 feet to the right. Auto-sync creates a wide, professional stereo image. Perfect for guitar and vocals—naturally separates voice and instrument in the stereo field.
3-Phone Setup - Full Studio
Phone 1: 18 inches front for main guitar. Phone 2: 3 feet left for stereo width. Phone 3: 12 inches near mouth for isolated vocals. Result: Professional multi-track separation with cinematic stereo image. BONUS: 3 video angles for social content without editing!
Multiple Video Angles for Free
With 3 phones you automatically get 3 camera angles—wide shot, guitar close-up, vocal close-up. Create professional video content for YouTube, Instagram, TikTok without a crew or extra equipment.
Automatic Synchronization
All phones sync perfectly after recording. No manual alignment, no hand claps, no complex editing—just hit record and SONGTAKE does the rest.
Natural Isolation
Multiple phones close to different sound sources = natural isolation between guitar and vocals. Mix volumes independently, apply effects separately, get professional studio control.
True Stereo from Each Phone
Every iPhone records in true stereo with two microphones. With 3 phones you have 6 channels of stereo audio—professional recording studio quality from devices you already own.
Optimal Distance for Pro Quality
1 phone: 12-18 inches. 2 phones: 2 feet each (left/right). 3 phones: 18 inches guitar, 3 feet ambient, 12 inches vocal. Battle-tested positioning for studio results without expensive gear.
Multi-Track Export
Export each phone as a separate track for complete mixing control. Or export the final stereo mix ready to go—you have complete control over the final result.
Mobile to Desktop
Record with phones, then open on Mac for professional 64-channel mixing. Add compression, EQ, reverb—complete professional workflow from inspiration to final production.
