Export your song with the band, or as a backing track

Updated . How we check these numbers

Quick answer: in the Songs tab, open a take and tap Export. Set the faders, choose Full song, Band only or Separate tracks, and tap Bounce to file.

Three kinds of export

  • Full song: your take mixed with the band. The file to send your co-writer or post as a rough demo.
  • Band only: the backing track without your voice, to practise with or sing over anywhere.
  • Separate tracks (Pro): vocal, guitar, piano, organ and drums as their own files, ready to drop into a recording app.

Faders and a fade-out

Each part has a fader, because the balance you want on a demo is rarely the balance you jammed with. Turn on Fade out ending for a four-second fade so the file doesn’t stop dead. Bouncing happens on the phone, faster than real time.
