Recording and finishing the digital composition

Congratulations! Your song is nearly there and you’ve come a long way on your creative journey. It’s now time to edit the various facets of your song until you are completely happy with the result. You can do this e.g. by adding additional instruments. You can further improve the result by “mixing”. This involves arranging the individual instruments by configuring different volumes and positions in the stereo image for these. Effects such as reverberation optimise the sound. The next video explains how to ultimately record and share your song.

If you find working with the app just too difficult, we also show you how to record your voice and, if necessary, an instrumental accompaniment really easily using the dictaphone function on a smartphone.

Even if the result doesn’t quite yet sound like a professionally produced track, don’t worry, it doesn’t need to be perfect. What matters for the competition is the idea itself and the endeavour of song writing, not the specific ins and outs of doing so. After all, all winning songs will be professionally produced in a sound studio.

We hope you enjoy playing around with the app and wish you the best of luck in taking part in the competition.
