What SONGTAKE is
SONGTAKE is an iOS and macOS app for recording and organizing musical ideas, band takes, and demos with audio and video together. Ideas mode captures compressed video clips, while Demos mode starts recording on multiple phones at once and syncs the recordings automatically. Users can add video overdubs, build multitrack recordings over existing ideas, import audio and video, and let bandmates contribute or overdub remotely. AI stem splitting separates vocals, drums, and bass. The app says users can export AAF for opening in any DAW. The free plan includes offline recording, basic export, 250MB of storage, and up to 16 tracks per song. Local data syncs to servers when internet is available. Studio Access costs $7.49 a month and includes 1TB storage, offline mode, band storage sharing, pro export templates, and 4K video. Patrons costs $11.99 a month and adds 1.5TB storage, feature voting, Patron export templates, credits, and custom app icons to Studio Access features. Data is encrypted with AES-256 in cold storage and SSL/TLS in transit, according to the privacy policy.
