How to record karaoke on iPhone
To record karaoke on iPhone in Karaoke Maker, first make the karaoke from a song on the phone. Then start a take while the karaoke audio plays, stop when you are done, trim, and balance karaoke against your voice. Sing-along is a Pro feature in the current app.
What you are recording
This is not a social karaoke live stream. It is a take on this device: karaoke on one lane, your microphone on the other. After you stop, you get a mix you can preview, trim, and save to the library or export to Files.
Step-by-step
- Convert a song so you have karaoke audio.
- Choose Sing with this karaoke. Allow the microphone if iPhone Settings asks.
- Start recording. The karaoke plays while the app listens to your voice.
- Stop recording when the take is done.
- Preview the mix. Trim if you only need part of the song.
- Set the karaoke and voice balance, then save to the library, export, or record again.
Useful tips
- Close other audio apps if the mic will not start.
- Keep the phone a consistent distance from your mouth. The waveform is drawn as you sing.
- If you leave before saving, the take can be discarded. Save when you want to keep it.
Common mistakes
- Trying to sing along on the free plan. Unlock Pro to sing along and keep your mix.
- Denying microphone access, then wondering why recording never starts.
- Recording in a noisy room and then turning the voice lane all the way up.
