Frequently Asked Questions
How do I fix audio latency on iPhone?
Record locally in SONGTAKE so nothing streams over a network, and monitor overdubs with wired headphones instead of Bluetooth. When you stop, the audio fingerprint auto-syncs your takes so every layer sits in time without hand nudging.
Why do my overdubs sound late?
Late overdubs usually come from Bluetooth headphone delay or a laggy monitoring path. Switch to wired headphones while you layer. SONGTAKE captures each part locally and aligns it automatically, so the recorded take stays in time even if monitoring felt off.
Do wireless earbuds cause recording latency?
Yes. Bluetooth adds a delay between what you play and what you hear, which throws off timing while overdubbing. Use wired headphones for tracking. The recording itself is captured locally, so the stored take is accurate.
Can SONGTAKE line up tracks from two phones?
Yes. Start both phones with one tap, and after you stop SONGTAKE uses an audio fingerprint to auto-sync the tracks. Timing offsets between the two phones are corrected for you.
Does offline recording reduce latency?
Offline recording removes any dependency on a network, so a weak signal cannot add delay. Your take records straight to the device and syncs to the cloud once you are back online.
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.
