Frequently Asked Questions
How do I record music on my iPhone?
Download SONGTAKE and start recording. Your iPhone has built-in stereo microphones that capture excellent audio quality. Open the app, hit record, and you're capturing professional-quality audio.
Is iPhone recording quality good enough?
Yes. Modern iPhones capture studio-quality audio. Many professional artists use iPhone recordings for their entire workflow. The built-in microphones are excellent.
Can I use external microphones with my iPhone?
Yes, but it's optional. Your iPhone's built-in mics work great for most recordings. If you want to upgrade, you can connect external mics via Lightning/USB-C adapters. Popular options include Shure MV7 or Rode VideoMic Me-C.
Do I need an audio interface for iPhone recording?
No. Your iPhone's built-in audio processing works great. If you want to use professional interfaces, many work with iPhone (like Focusrite Scarlett Solo or PreSonus AudioBox), but they're not required. Your iPhone handles everything on its own.
Can I record multiple tracks on my iPhone?
Yes! SONGTAKE lets you record multiple tracks on your iPhone. Layer vocals, instruments, and parts to build complete arrangements. Or use multiple iPhones to record different instruments simultaneously.
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 give you multi-angle coverage and better isolation, one phone is all you need to create professional multi-track recordings with video overdubbing.
Can I use SONGTAKE for professional music recording?
Yes! SONGTAKE seamlessly transitions from mobile recording to professional desktop production. Start with iPhone for song ideas, then open the same project on Mac with a professional 64-channel interface for mixing and mastering. It's the bridge between inspiration and 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.
