Frequently Asked Questions
How do I record music in noisy environments?
Position your phone very close to your instrument (6-12 inches) in a noisy environment. SONGTAKE's stereo mics capture your music clearly while naturally isolating it from background noise. The close positioning ensures your performance is the dominant sound.
Will phone recording work in very noisy places?
Yes! By positioning your phone close to your instrument, SONGTAKE captures your music clearly even in noisy environments. Many street performers and live musicians use SONGTAKE for recording in challenging acoustic situations.
Can I use multiple phones to reduce background noise?
Absolutely! Use multiple phones positioned close to different sound sources. Each phone captures its nearest source clearly, reducing the impact of environmental noise. Perfect for recording bands or multiple instruments in noisy places.
How do I further reduce noise after recording?
Use AI stem splitting to separate your music from background noise, or open the same project on Mac with professional noise reduction tools. SONGTAKE gives you multiple options for cleaning up noisy recordings.
Can I record street performances or live situations?
Yes! Position your phone close to your instrument and SONGTAKE captures your performance clearly even with crowd noise, traffic, or other environmental sounds. Record video alongside audio to capture the full context of your live performance.
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.
