## What is Take Creative Vocal Recorder?

Sing. Hum. Rap. Strum. Capture your musical ideas—anytime, anywhere.

Take is the creative vocal recorder. With a single tap you’ll be recording, beatboxing, overdubbing, riffing, writing and sketching out song ideas.

App of the Day, Europe (Aug. 2018)

“A versatile mobile song sketchpad.” – Electronic Musician

“Tremendously easy to use.” – Engadget

TOP FEATURES:
• Kickstart your creativity with inspiring built-in loops and beats.
• Sound like a superstar on your phone’s built-in mic.
• Feel the groove. Stay on the beat. Keep in time.
• Add new parts. Double them up. Create harmonies.
• Build your tune and flesh out your ideas with three tracks.
• Polish your tracks with built-in effects, mastering and more.
• Subtly tune your voice to stay in key or go full-on robot voice with Voice Tune.
• Open an audio file and add your own voice to become the star.
• Share your recordings to social, email, AirDrop and other apps.

Take combines drop-dead simplicity with features that are custom-tailored for vocalists. Record harmonies along with your voice, blend in effects to sweeten the sound and sing along to an array of beats and rhythms. Take is the ultimate voice memo sketchpad for capturing your musical ideas.

Note: Take is optimized for the built-in microphone on your iOS device. To eliminate feedback and hollow-sounding tracks, wearing headphones is recommended while recording. Best results come from using headphones without an integrated microphone, and recording directly into your iPhone/iPod/iPad.

### 1/5 — I don’t want to create an account

*2026-03-28, version 4.0*

There’s a million alternatives 👍

### 1/5 — Amazing idea, doesn't work with bluetooth headphones

*2026-03-01, version 4.0*

This app is exactly what I was looking for but unfortunately isn't updated anymore and doesn't work with AirPods, there's no way for me to hear what I'm singing as I overdub. Wish this got updated :/

### 1/5 — Ugggh

*2025-08-03, version 4.0*

When I downloaded the app I was expecting to have fun singing but when I clicked forgot password put in my email and clicked reset, it said network error. Please check your connection. But I had perfect internet service.

### 1/5 — Проблема

*2025-07-08*

Всегда пользовался приложением и всё было отлично, сейчас же не распознает наушники! Никакие!! Просто звук переключается с наушников на телефон, это же приложение для записи! В чём проблема???

*2024-07-08, version 4.0*

Good reviews, but I have no sound coming from the app.

### 5/5 — COPY/PASTE VERSE ON DIFFERENT TRACK

*2024-04-29, version 4.0*

We should be able to copy/paste verse to different tracks or and on the same track. Ex. Instead of recording the chorus again I can copy and paste it on the othe half of the file/beat/track PLEASE MAKE THIS AN OPTION IVE HAD THIS APP SINCE 2017

### 5/5 — Сделайте чтоб работала с беспородными наушниками 🥲🥲🥲

*2024-01-29*

Очень хорошее приложение, пользуюсь уже 4 года и ловлю кайф. Сделайте чтоб работала с беспроводными наушниками, то есть чтоб звук был в наушниках а микрофон с телефона.

### 1/5 — UPDATE NEEDED

*2023-12-17, version 4.0*

Please update this app to fix bugs 🥲

*2023-11-20, version 4.0*

Can you update so that audio plays on Bluetooth headphones and captures audio via the main mic.
