Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make an acapella from a song?
Import the song into SONGTAKE, run AI stem splitting, and keep the vocal stem while dropping drums, bass, and other. Export that stem and you have an acapella. It is free and built into the app.
Is an acapella the same as an isolated vocal?
They come from the same stem split. An isolated vocal is usually for studying the performance, while an acapella is the vocal-only file you use in remixes, mashups, and edits. SONGTAKE gives you either from one split.
Can I put the acapella over a new beat?
Yes. Keep the acapella in your SONGTAKE project and record or import a new beat on another stem, then line them up. You can also export the acapella and use it elsewhere.
How clean is the acapella?
SONGTAKE uses AI separation, so the acapella is far cleaner than blanket vocal-removal tricks. The final quality depends on the source track, but a well-produced song separates well.
Do I have to pay for acapellas?
No. SONGTAKE is free to download and does not charge per song, so you can make acapellas from as many tracks 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.
