Frequently Asked Questions

How do I record a piano lesson?

Use SONGTAKE to capture the piano in true stereo from the built-in iPhone mics, and add a synced camera above the keys so you can rewatch fingering while you hear the demonstration.

How do I keep the piano's dynamics?

Record in true stereo with SONGTAKE and place the phone close to the soundboard. True stereo keeps the soft-to-loud range that a flat mono take loses.

Can I rewatch the fingering?

Yes. Add a synced camera above the keyboard. SONGTAKE auto-syncs the audio to the video, so you can rewatch hand movement over the keys.

What if the studio has no internet?

Record offline. SONGTAKE captures the piano lesson with no signal and syncs it to your other devices once you are back online.

Is SONGTAKE free for piano lessons?

Yes. It is free to download and works with your iPhone. On Mac you can add external mics for a recital-grade recording.

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.
