Frequently Asked Questions
How do I record a guitar lesson?
Use SONGTAKE to capture the guitar in true stereo and place a phone as a dedicated mic near the amp or soundhole. Add a synced camera on the fretting hand to rewatch technique.
How do I see the fingering again later?
Add a synced camera angle on the fretting hand. SONGTAKE auto-syncs the audio to the video, so you can rewatch the exact position and timing.
Can I isolate a riff the teacher played?
Yes. AI stem splitting separates a recording into vocals, drums, bass, and other, so you can pull a demoed guitar part out to practice against.
What if there is no internet in the lesson?
Record offline. SONGTAKE captures the guitar lesson with no signal and syncs it to your other devices once you are back online.
Is SONGTAKE free for guitar lessons?
Yes. It is free to download and works with your iPhone. On Mac you can add an external mic for a studio-grade guitar 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.
