Bandapella: Acapella Studio

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.
