r/bass: Stem Split Any Song and Record Bass for Reddit Tone and Groove Feedback
This page explains how to import songs from Spotify or YouTube into SONGTAKE, stem split to get a backing track (or isolate the bass line to learn), then record yourself on bass and post to r/bass for real feedback on tone, groove, and technique. Optional multicam so Reddit can see your hands and feel.
This is YOU?
Instrumental or karaoke versions of the song don't exist or sound bad.
Single phone = one angle; Reddit can't see your right hand or fingerboard clearly.
You'd practice and post more if you could use any song from Spotify or YouTube and show multiple angles.
Good feedback needs a clear recording of your bass—not buried in the mix.
Pro Tip: TIP: Import any song from Spotify or YouTube into SONGTAKE, use AI stem splitting to get a backing track (or isolate the bass to learn), then record yourself on bass. Add optional multicam (hands, amp, full body) so r/bass can see your technique. Export and post with a clear ask—tone, groove, or fingering. Reddit gives useful notes when your bass is clear and the post reads as feedback-seeking.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a backing track from Spotify/YouTube for r/bass?
Import the song into SONGTAKE (e.g. via screen record, then import the file). Use AI stem splitting to separate vocals and optionally mute or isolate the original bass. You get a clean backing to play along and record over—then export and post to r/bass.
Why is multicam useful for r/bass feedback?
Reddit rewards watchability and credibility. One angle often misses your right hand or fingerboard. Multicam lets them see technique and feel—so you get useful notes on tone, groove, and fingering. Combined with clear stem-split audio, it reads as feedback-seeking, not promo.
Do I need to buy backing tracks or instrumentals?
No. Stem split any song from Spotify or YouTube. Import into SONGTAKE, split stems, record your bass, and post to r/bass. No karaoke or paid instrumentals needed.
How do I avoid sounding like self-promo on r/bass?
Keep the clip focused (30–90 seconds) and say what you want feedback on—e.g. tone, groove, or technique. Add 'This is a work in progress' or 'Looking for feedback on...' Reddit rewards when it reads as bassist asking for help.
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.
