Bring the song
A file from your library, a backing track you downloaded, an mp3 a friend sent. Multitake reads the tempo and the metre and lays out the grid.
Mac · iPad · iPhone · all on your device
Play over the song.
Load a track and Multitake splits it into stems, finds the tempo and writes a click that sits on the song. Then you hit record and lay down your part — audio and video, one take after another.

How it works
Three steps, then you play
02
Set the stage
Drop the drums or the vocals, write a click in time, pick the preset for your mic. Thirty seconds, not an editing session.
03
Record the take
Hit record and play. Audio and video together, take after take, never losing your place.
Stem separation
Take the part out, keep the song
Vocals, drums, bass and everything else: four stems, separated on your device and written uncompressed. Mute the guitar and play it yourself, or keep only the drums to study the groove.

Tempo and grid
The click sits on the song
Multitake finds the BPM, the first downbeat and the metre, then renders the click on the track’s real beats. You don’t chase a metronome: the metronome follows the song.
Nudge the downbeat a millisecond at a time, double or halve the grid, click on beats, eighths, triplets or sixteenths.
Mix and effects
Five presets, then the chain
Flat, Voice, Acoustic, Amp/DI, Room: pick how the sound came in and you’re done. If you want to get your hands in, the chain is open — noise reduction, low cut, expander, three-band EQ.
A Bypass button at the top of the panel: you can always hear the take as it was recorded.

A take you see, not just hear
As many video tracks as you like, the take’s audio channels, one timeline. Split, duplicate, delete; line it all up on the song’s own grid and export a project ready to post.
Speed changes resample the take, and the export re-encodes only once, at the end.
Chords and words
The chart follows you
Multitake reads the chords off the audio and drafts the lyrics from the vocal stem, both timed to the song. While you play, the sounding chord lights up and the line you’re singing waits on screen with the next one under it.
A machine can mishear, so every chord and every line is yours to correct, retime or write by hand. In a project, both can be burned onto the video — made for lessons.
