Frequently Asked Questions
How do I record music in outdoor locations?
Use SONGTAKE to record in any location—parks, beaches, forests, urban spaces. Position your phone to capture both your music and the natural ambience. Stereo mics capture the spatial depth and environmental character of the space.
Will field recordings capture too much background noise?
Position your phone close to your instrument (12-18 inches) to capture your music clearly while still preserving natural ambience. SONGTAKE's stereo mics capture the environmental character without overwhelming your performance.
Can I organize recordings by location?
Yes! Keep all field recordings organized by location, date, or project. Name recordings by location ("Beach Recording - July") or use folders to group recordings from the same place. Find "that forest recording from last month" instantly.
What if I'm recording in a remote location without WiFi?
Record offline and everything syncs automatically when you're back online. Capture field recordings anywhere—mountains, deserts, remote cabins—your recordings are safe and upload when connection returns.
Can I use field recordings in my compositions?
Absolutely! Export field recordings and use them in your compositions, layer them with studio recordings, or preserve them as location-specific audio archives. Your field recordings become part of your creative library.
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 give you multi-angle coverage and better isolation, one phone is all you need to create professional multi-track recordings with video overdubbing.
Can I use SONGTAKE for professional music recording?
Yes! SONGTAKE seamlessly transitions from mobile recording to professional desktop production. Start with iPhone for song ideas, then open the same project on Mac with a professional 64-channel interface for mixing and mastering. It's the bridge between inspiration and 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.
