Guides for Getting Started
Recording Studio
How do I add or change my track's info?
To add info to a new track:
After editing your track in the studio, you’ll be taken to a screen where you can add a song title and cover photo. Press “title and hashtags” to give your song a name and add a hashtag. You can use a trending hashtag to enter one of our challenges, or to create your own! You can take your own photo, add one from your camera roll, search from our gallery of royalty-free photos, or generate basic colored artwork.
You can add a video to play along with your track! Press “add video” to import a clip from your camera roll, or search Giphy for the perfect gif! The video or gif will play on repeat to match the length of the track.
To change the info of an existing track:
To edit the information on a track you’ve already posted, press the three-dot menu to the rap on your profile, then press “edit.”
How do I use the vocal effects?
To apply an effect to a vocal track, first highlight the track you want to edit. Then, press the icon of the effect you want to use. Adjust the sliders to change how the effect sounds and how much of it you want to add to our mix.
How to change a song from public to private?
To change a song from private to public, press the three-dot menu next to the song you want to remove from your public profile. Select “make private” from the pop-up menu, and the song will be moved to the “private” section in your profile.

To master a song from the studio, press “Finish” after recording and editing your vocals. This will direct you to the mastering screen, where you can choose from four different auto-mastering filters to instantly improve your sound quality.
How do I master a previously released song?
To master a song you’ve already released on our profile, press the three-dot menu next to the song, then press “master.” Select the auto-mastering filter you'd like to use, then press “save.” Choose carefully, because you can only master a track once!
