Frequently Asked Questions
How do I organize lyrics with my song recordings?
Record yourself singing lyrics along with the melody. Group everything together in folders—lyrics, melodies, and recordings all in one place. See how your words evolved with the music in chronological order.
Can I record multiple versions of lyrics?
Yes! Record different versions of your lyrics and compare them. See how your words evolved from first draft to final version. Everything is timestamped so you can track your lyric writing process.
What if I get a lyric idea when I'm not near a notebook?
Just hit record on your phone! Sing the line, explain the idea, or talk through the meaning. SONGTAKE captures everything instantly—you can develop it into full lyrics later.
How do I find a specific lyric I wrote months ago?
Search by date, folder name, or keyword. Even if you didn't name it, timestamps help you find "that chorus line from Tuesday morning" or "the bridge lyrics from last month."
Can I share my lyric writing process with a co-writer?
Absolutely! Share entire project folders with collaborators. They see your complete lyric writing process—all versions, all ideas, all evolution. Perfect for co-writing sessions where you both contribute to the same song.
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.
