Bandapella is a multitrack recording studio on your phone. Record vocals, guitar, keys or beatbox one layer at a time, edit every take on the waveform, mix it all together, and share the finished song as audio or as a split-screen video. Make it on your own, or invite friends to record their parts. It started as an acapella app, so it is made for voices first: sing every harmony yourself, record an acapella cover, build a virtual choir, or be a one-man band. Record in layers • Multitrack recording: overdub each new part while you hear the others in your headphones. • Audio projects with as many tracks as you like. • Video projects with split-screen layouts from 1 to 16 parts, in square or vertical 9:16. • A metronome with tap tempo, and a countdown before each take. • Import a backing track, such as a beat or an instrumental, or bring in audio parts and video you have already recorded. • Auto sync lines up every take with the rest of the song. Edit every take • A waveform editor with pinch-to-zoom. • Trim, split, move, fade, crossfade and reverse any part of a take. • Shift the pitch up or down by as much as an octave, and change the speed. • Slide a take earlier or later to tighten the timing. • Undo and redo your edits. Shape your sound • Auto Pitch detects your key and scale, then tunes your voice naturally or with a hard-tune effect. • Clean Vocal reduces rumble, background noise and harsh "s" sounds, with a high-pass filter and a three-band EQ. • Effects: studio, room and hall reverb, compression and tone, saved as presets you can copy to other takes. Mix like a studio • Volume, pan, mute and solo for every track. • Automation: change the volume, pan or reverb over time. • Loudness normalization keeps the final mix even. Collab with friends • Invite friends with a link or a code. Each person records their part on their own phone, and their takes sync into the project. • Start a remote band, a virtual choir or an a cappella group without being in the same room. Share it • Export AAC audio or MP4 video. • Post your song to the Bandapella feed as audio or video, follow other musicians, and like and comment on their posts. Ideas to try • A song demo: guitar, bass and lead vocal, one track at a time. • An acapella cover with every harmony sung by you. • A one-man band: beatbox, bass line, chords and melody in one split-screen video. • A virtual choir with friends, family or your church choir. • Vocals over a beat or an instrumental you import. • A duet with yourself, or with a friend in another city. Made for singers, songwriters, beatboxers, multi-instrumentalists, choirs, a cappella groups, music students and cover artists: anyone who wants a multitrack recorder and a home recording studio in their pocket. Bandapella Premium Recording, editing, mixing, collabs and sharing are included for everyone, with takes of up to 1 minute. Bandapella Premium adds takes of any length, video layouts with 5 to 16 parts, Auto Pitch and effects in your finished mix, and recording at up to 320 kbps.
