Frequently Asked Questions
How do I record a choir rehearsal?
Use SONGTAKE to capture the full ensemble in true stereo, or place a phone near each section as a dedicated mic for section-by-section tracks. Record offline and mix on Mac.
How do I review just one section?
Place a phone near each section so it lands on its own track. Then you can solo the sopranos, altos, tenors, or basses to check pitch and blend.
Can I capture the whole choir with one device?
Yes. The two built-in iPhone mics record the full ensemble in true stereo, giving a natural, wide capture of the choir.
What if the hall has no signal?
Record offline. SONGTAKE captures the full rehearsal with no connection and syncs to your iPad and Mac once you are back online.
Is SONGTAKE free for choir rehearsals?
Yes. It is free to download and works with the phones you already have. On Mac you can add external mics for a concert-grade capture.
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.
