Can't organize lyrics, chords, and recordings together.
By the time you get home, the melody is gone.
No way to develop ideas from fragment to finished song.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I write a complete song on my phone?

Start by recording your initial idea—hum the melody, play a chord progression, or sing a lyric fragment. Then layer additional parts: add bass, drums, harmonies, or more instruments. SONGTAKE lets you build complete arrangements from first idea to finished song, all on your phone.

Can I organize lyrics and recordings together?

Yes! Record yourself singing lyrics, explaining chord progressions, or talking through song structure. Use video notes to capture the full context of your songwriting process. Everything is organized in folders so you can see your song's complete evolution.

What if I get an idea when I'm not near my instrument?

Just hit record on your phone! Hum the melody, sing the lyrics, or describe the idea. SONGTAKE captures everything instantly—you can develop it into a full song later when you have your instrument.

How do I develop a song from a simple idea to a finished track?

Record your initial idea, then layer additional parts over time. Add bass while watching your original recording, layer drums, add harmonies. SONGTAKE lets you build complete arrangements step-by-step, seeing your song evolve from fragment to finished track.

Can I share my songwriting process with a co-writer?

Absolutely! Share entire project folders with collaborators. They see your complete creative 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.
