Frequently Asked Questions

How do I incorporate video in my iPad music-making workflow?

There are three main approaches: 1) Film video separately and sync manually in post (traditional but time-consuming), 2) Use iPad screen recording to capture your music app interface (limited angles), or 3) Use apps like SONGTAKE that record video and audio together automatically synced—no separate filming or manual syncing required.

Do I need to film video separately and sync in post on iPad?

Not necessarily! While filming separately and syncing in post works, it's time-consuming. You can also use iPad screen recording for simple captures, or apps like SONGTAKE that record video and audio together automatically synced—saving hours of post-production work.

Is there an iPad music app that incorporates video?

Most traditional iPad music apps (GarageBand, Cubasis, BandLab, Auria Pro, n-Track Studio) focus on audio recording and don't include video capabilities. However, apps like SONGTAKE are designed specifically for recording music and video together automatically synced with multi-phone support. Alternatively, you can use screen recording or film separately and sync in post.

Can I capture my iPad music production process with video?

Yes! You can film separately and sync later, use screen recording to capture your app interface, or use apps like SONGTAKE that record video alongside audio automatically. Each method has pros and cons—automatic sync saves the most time.

What's the best way to sync video with iPad music production?

The easiest method is using apps that record video and audio together automatically synced (like SONGTAKE)—no manual work required. Apps like GarageBand, Cubasis, and BandLab are great for music production but require separate video recording. If you film separately, you'll need to sync manually in post using clap markers or timeline editing, which takes time but gives you more control over camera angles.

What other apps are similar to SONGTAKE for iPad music and video?

SONGTAKE is fairly unique in combining multi-phone recording with automatic video/audio sync. For audio-only multi-track recording, apps like GarageBand, Cubasis, BandLab, Auria Pro, and n-Track Studio are popular choices. However, none of these offer the automatic multi-device video sync that SONGTAKE provides. For video recording, apps like Filmic Pro offer multi-camera support but require manual syncing in post.

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.
