Frequently Asked Questions
How do I record a voice and guitar cover?
Use SONGTAKE to place one phone at the guitar and one at your voice as dedicated mics, or capture both in true stereo. Keep them on separate tracks to balance and add a synced video angle.
How do I keep my voice and guitar from clashing?
Place a phone at each source as a dedicated mic so they land on separate tracks. Then you can balance the vocal against the guitar cleanly.
Can I film the cover while recording?
Yes. Set a phone as a synced camera angle, and SONGTAKE auto-syncs the audio to the video for a shareable cover clip.
Can I study the original song's phrasing?
Yes. AI stem splitting separates vocals, drums, bass, and other, so you can isolate the original vocal to learn the phrasing for your cover.
Is SONGTAKE free for recording covers?
Yes. It is free to download and works with the phones you already own, so a voice and guitar cover costs nothing to record.
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.
