Frequently Asked Questions
How do I record a live gig on iPhone?
Place phones near the stage in SONGTAKE and start them with one tap. Each phone is a dedicated mic on its own track, they auto-sync after the set, and you can add multicam angles with the audio locked to the video.
How do I stop crowd noise from ruining a live recording?
Get the phones close to the sources on stage so the band is much louder than the crowd. Distant phones at the back pick up mostly audience. Dedicated phones near the amps and vocals keep the music front and center.
Can I record video of the gig too?
Yes. SONGTAKE records multicam video from several phones with the audio auto-synced to the footage, so you get multiple stage angles that stay in time for a live clip.
How do multiple phones stay in sync over a long set?
One tap starts them together, and audio fingerprint auto-sync aligns every phone after you stop. That keeps the mics and cameras locked together even across a full set.
Will a long gig recording get backed up?
Yes. The show backs up to the cloud automatically and syncs across devices. If a phone loses signal, it records locally and uploads once it reconnects.
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.
