This is YOU?
Karaoke apps only have a fixed catalog, never your track.
Their backing tracks sound thin and fake.
You want to actually record yourself singing, not just follow a bouncing ball.
You want to send the take to friends after.
Pro Tip: TIP: SONGTAKE strips the lead vocal to leave a karaoke backing, then lets you record your own vocal over it and share the finished performance by link.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make a karaoke track from a song?
Import the song into SONGTAKE, run AI stem splitting, and remove the lead vocal to leave the backing. Then record your own vocal over that backing on a new stem and share the result. It is free and built in.
Can I use any song, not just a karaoke catalog?
Yes. SONGTAKE builds the karaoke track from whatever recording you import, so you are not limited to the fixed catalog that karaoke apps offer.
Can I record myself singing over the karaoke track?
Yes. After removing the lead vocal you record your own take on a separate stem, capture harmonies too, and export or share the finished performance by link.
How is a karaoke track different from a plain instrumental?
Both remove the lead vocal. A karaoke track is set up for you to sing and record over the backing, and in SONGTAKE the same stem split gives you either use.
Is it free to make karaoke tracks?
Yes. SONGTAKE is free to download with no per-song fees, so you can turn any track into a karaoke version and record over it as often as you like.
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.
