Studio

Pick a beat, record over it, stack your ad-libs, go back and fix a part, then save your song. It all runs on your phone. Your voice never leaves it.

Before your first take

Wear headphones. Without them the beat plays out loud and gets into your vocal.
Wired is best. Bluetooth earbuds hear the beat a little late. Using them anyway? Try Sync my headphones in step 3, then check a short take.
When your phone asks for the mic, tap Allow.

1 · Beat

Upload your own beat

Or make your own beat · Beat Lab

No producer needed. Pick a style and a mood, press the dice, then change any part until it's yours: tap the drums, swap sounds, roll a new melody. Then record over it right here.

Write it · Know your rights

Write your verses bar by bar with a syllable count and rhyme ideas. Then learn the steps to own and release your song: copyright, split sheets, getting paid.

2 · Voice layers

Tap the round button to choose which layer records. A new take replaces only the part of that layer it covers, so you can punch in a fix.

3 · Recording settings

Beat volume Clean voice: less rumble, steadier volume

Applies to all voice layers when you listen and save. Your original takes stay unchanged.

Play 2 seconds before I come in

Put your headphones on, tap, then tap the big button on every click you hear.

Timing nudge 0 ms

For your next take: move right if new vocals land late, left if they land early. Existing takes stay where they are.

4 · Save

Save as MP3, video, or WAV, or share it from your phone. Nothing is uploaded. Leaving the page clears your takes, so save first.
