Frequently Asked Questions
How do I organize hundreds of song ideas without getting overwhelmed?
Use SONGTAKE's folder system to group ideas by project, album, or vibe. Mark your best ideas as favorites with one tap, and use the search function to find specific recordings by name or date. The automatic timestamping means you can always find "that riff from Tuesday" even when you forgot to name it.
Can I search for recordings if I forgot what I named them?
Yes! Every recording is automatically timestamped and searchable by date. You can search by folder, favorite status, or just browse chronologically. Even if you named it "New Recording 47," you can find it by remembering when you recorded it.
What happens if I lose my phone with all my song ideas?
All your recordings auto-save to the cloud the moment you hit record. Log into SONGTAKE on a new device and everything is there—folders, favorites, all your ideas. Your phone can get stolen, dropped in a lake, or run over by a tour bus and your music is safe.
Do I need WiFi to organize my recordings?
No! The folder structure and all organization features work perfectly offline. Organize on a plane, in the middle of nowhere, or in your basement studio with no signal. Everything syncs automatically when you're back online.
How do I share organized ideas with my band or producer?
Share entire project folders with collaborators via a simple link. They can see all your organized takes, versions, and ideas. Or share individual recordings—either way, no massive file emails or Dropbox juggling required.
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.
