Frequently Asked Questions
How do I film a music video with multiple phones?
Set each phone as a camera angle in SONGTAKE and start them all with one tap. It records synced multicam footage with the audio auto-synced to the video, so you can cut between clean, in time angles without manual syncing.
How do the phone angles stay in sync?
One tap starts every phone together, and SONGTAKE auto-syncs the multicam angles for you. You skip the old clap and guess routine, and the clips line up ready to cut.
How do I get good audio for a phone music video?
Place dedicated phones near the performers so the audio is close and clean. SONGTAKE auto-syncs that audio to the video, so the music video sounds far better than a single distant camera.
Can I add a filmed solo or extra part later?
Yes. Video overdubbing lets you layer another performance on top with headphones on, so a solo or a second angle can be recorded and dropped in after the main shoot.
Where do I edit the multicam video?
Open the project on Mac to cut between the synced angles and mix the audio on a full multi-channel interface. Every angle is already backed up and synced across your devices.
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.
