Frequently Asked Questions

How do I capture song ideas on the go?

Use SONGTAKE to record a true stereo take the moment inspiration hits, even offline. Layer parts as the idea grows, and it syncs to your iPad and Mac automatically.

What if I have no signal when an idea hits?

Record offline. SONGTAKE captures the idea with no connection and syncs it to your other devices the moment you are back online.

Can I build on an idea, not just hum it?

Yes. SONGTAKE is multitrack, so you can layer a second or third part on new tracks while the idea is fresh.

How do I find a sketch again later?

Every take is auto-timestamped, and folders, favorites, and search keep your sketches organized so the good one is easy to find.

Is SONGTAKE free for capturing ideas?

Yes. It is free to download and lives on the iPhone in your pocket, so you can catch song ideas anywhere 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.
