Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a backing track from Spotify/YouTube for r/guitar?
Import the song into SONGTAKE (e.g. via screen record, then import the file). Use AI stem splitting to separate vocals from the rest—mute the vocal stem and you have a backing track to play along and record over for Reddit.
Why is stem splitting useful for r/guitar or r/ukulele feedback?
Reddit can give better technique and tone feedback when your playing is clear. Stem splitting lets you play over a clean backing and submit a take where your guitar or ukulele isn't buried in the original mix.
Do I need to buy backing tracks or instrumentals?
No. You can stem split any song from Spotify or YouTube. Import into SONGTAKE, split stems, and practice or post for r/guitar or r/ukulele without paying for karaoke or instrumentals.
Can I isolate the guitar part to learn it, then post my cover?
Yes. Use stem splitting to isolate the part you want to learn, practice, then record yourself and export. Post your take to r/guitar or r/ukulele for feedback.
Why do clear playing takes get better feedback on r/guitar?
Reddit rewards intelligible audio. When your guitar or ukulele is clear (stem-split backing, your take on top), people can critique tone, timing, and technique. Buried or muddy playing gets vague comments. Frame as 'looking for feedback on [X]' and you get useful notes.
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.
