Collaborate with your team from anywhere
Turning your ideas into melodies and then tracks doesn’t have to wait until you’re in the studio with your team. Our collection of collaboration tools makes it possible for you to create with anyone, anywhere. Check out our tips to help you shape your next hit.
Share your inspiration
Moments of creative inspiration can strike when you’re least expecting them — and they can disappear just as quickly if you don’t jot them down and share them. Keep the momentum going with these tools to start collaborating on the fly.
Text it out. Invite your bandmates or team to start discussing your latest lyrics, beats, or designs in Messages.
Connect face to face, regardless of location. When your idea just can’t wait, talk it or sing it out on FaceTime. Bring others into the mix by creating a link they can use to join your call and start ideating. Show your crew what you’re working on by easily sharing your screen with your latest inspiration.
Fine tune in real time
As your project progresses, start to put the pieces together to create your next track. Seamlessly share files, edit them on the go, and let others know when your latest version is ready for their feedback.
Share your work. Invite your team to collaborate with iCloud to share Notes with lyrics, Voice Memos with beats, recording files, and folders so you start to bring your project together. The people you invite can download shared items from iCloud to any of their devices, where they can view or edit them, depending on the privileges you set.
Edit, update, repeat. Use real-time editing to get live feedback from your team in Notes and other documents. Once you’ve revised your latest lyrics and ideas, invite others to review and provide feedback until you’ve got the perfect fit. See who’s made changes, chat with collaborators directly in the app, and tag them with important updates.
Upload and listen to your recordings
Once it’s time to start polishing your recordings and tracks, you may need to share files with multiple members across your team. Easily and securely share your masterpiece. Then, share the excitement of listening to it for the first time, together.
Secure collaboration. Stay assured your latest tracks stay under wraps. iCloud helps you keep your most important information secure, without getting in the way of collaboration.
Share across platforms. Safely store and access all kinds of files from any of your devices and on the web for cross-platform compatibility, allowing collaborators with any device to join in on perfecting your work.
Host a virtual listening party. Once your song is live on Apple Music, it’s time to celebrate! Get your team together for a first listen of your latest track with SharePlay, no matter where they are. Everyone can listen to music and control playback together to highlight their favorite moments of the song.
