SONGTAKE review
A focused iOS and macOS recording companion for collaborative demos and multitrack capture.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
SONGTAKE is a recording app for musicians, bands, and songwriters who want to capture ideas and create demos. It supports synchronized audio and video recording across multiple phones, video overdubbing, multitrack sessions, offline recording, and project sharing. The app runs on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, making it suited to collaborative song capture rather than full songwriting in lyric, chord, or melody formats.
Its feature set centers on preserving and developing recordings. Automatic cloud backup and project synchronization help keep sessions available across supported devices, while compressed video notes can reduce storage demands. AI stem splitting separates vocals, drums, and bass, and collaborators can work through real-time sharing. AAF export transfers projects into digital audio workstation workflows, while social-platform exports support sharing outside the app. These capabilities make SONGTAKE a focused companion for bands and writers who develop songs through recorded takes.
The free plan includes 250MB of storage, 16 tracks per song, offline recording, project sharing, and basic export. Studio Access costs $7.49 per month and adds 1TB of storage, band storage sharing, Pro export templates, and 4K video while retaining 16 tracks per song. Patrons costs $11.99 per month and adds 1.5TB of storage, feature voting, Patron export templates, custom app icons, and a direct line to the team. Choose SONGTAKE for synchronized recording, overdubbing, collaboration, and DAW transfer. Choose another tool if lyric writing, chord development, or melody creation is central to your workflow.
