This is YOU?

The drummer rushed one fill and now the whole 4-minute take is ruined.
Everyone played perfectly except for those 2 seconds.

Vocalist nails it on take 1, drummer gets it on take 8. Never everyone perfect simultaneously.

Pro Tip: TIP: SONGTAKE records each instrument on its own phone near the source, giving you isolated tracks you can mix and fix individually without re-recording everything.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I record each instrument separately without a mixing board?

Place one phone near each instrument—drums, bass, guitar, vocals. Each phone becomes a dedicated mic capturing that instrument clearly. SONGTAKE syncs them all automatically, giving you individual tracks without expensive multi-track gear or complicated setup.

What if one instrument makes a mistake—do we have to re-record everything?

No! Because each phone records its nearest instrument, you can export individual stems and fix just the instrument that made the mistake. The drummer rushed one fill? Fix just the drums. Everyone else's perfect performance is preserved on their own tracks.

Can I mix the individual tracks later?

Yes! Export individual stems for each instrument and import them into any DAW for professional mixing. Or use SONGTAKE's AI stem splitting to separate instruments even further. You get full mixing control without needing to re-record.

How many phones do I need for a full band?

One phone per instrument gives you the best isolation. A 4-piece band (drums, bass, guitar, vocals) needs 4 phones. But even 2-3 phones positioned strategically beats a single phone from across the room by a mile.

Does everyone need SONGTAKE on their phone?

Yes, each phone recording needs SONGTAKE installed. But it's free to use for basic recording. Everyone in your band downloads it, you start a multi-phone session, and boom—you have a professional multi-track recording system using devices you already own.

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.
