Key Software Features

Stack The Arrangement
Record one voice, then overdub each harmony and the bass and vocal percussion on their own multitrack takes to build the full arrangement.
A Mic Per Singer
Give each singer a phone and multi-phone recording makes each a dedicated mic, so every part lands on its own track for a clean blend.
True Stereo Blend
Capture the whole group in true stereo from the two built-in iPhone mics, keeping the natural width and blend of the ensemble.
Judge The Blend
With each part on its own track, or using stem splitting, you can isolate a voice to hear who is flat and fix the balance.
Learn Your Part
Share a reference by link and isolate a part so each singer can study exactly their line before the next rehearsal.
Film In Sync
Multicam video captures the group from several angles with audio auto-synced, so you get a performance video that lines up perfectly.
Record Offline
Rehearse anywhere with no signal, record offline, and it syncs to the cloud automatically once you reconnect.
Organize Arrangements
Folders, favorites, search, and automatic timestamps keep songs and takes sorted so the right arrangement is easy to find.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best app for a cappella groups?

SONGTAKE suits a cappella groups because you can layer every vocal part on separate multitrack takes, give each singer a phone as a dedicated mic, and capture the group in true stereo. You can film it in sync too, and it is free to download.

How do I build a full a cappella arrangement?

SONGTAKE is multitrack, so you record one voice and overdub each harmony, the bass, and vocal percussion on their own takes while monitoring on headphones.

How do I give each singer their own mic?

Give each singer a phone and multi-phone recording makes each a dedicated mic. The phones auto-sync into one take where every part sits on its own track.

Can I tell which part is flat?

Yes. With each part on its own track, or by using stem splitting, you can isolate a voice to hear who is off and fix the balance.

Is SONGTAKE free for a cappella groups?

Yes. SONGTAKE is free to download and works with the phones the group already owns, so you can layer arrangements and capture rehearsals at no cost.

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 provide multi-angle coverage and better isolation, one phone is sufficient to create professional multi-track recordings with video overdubbing.

Can I use SONGTAKE for professional music recording?

Absolutely! SONGTAKE allows you to effortlessly move from mobile recording to professional desktop production. Begin capturing your song ideas on your iPhone, then open the same project on a Mac with a 64-channel interface for mixing and mastering. It's the perfect tool to transform your inspiration into a polished 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.
