Rapchat: Music Maker Studio

Make and shape a rap recording

Rapchat: Music Maker Studio is a phone-based tool for recording rap and other vocal music. You can record verses, hooks and ad-libs over beats, arrange vocal tracks, apply vocal effects and mix a song. It is aimed at people who want to sketch an idea or work on a fuller track without starting on a computer.

Bring your own approach

The app offers a large beat library spanning styles such as rap, trap, drill, R&B and pop. You can also import your own audio. A lyrics pad keeps writing close to the recording session, while collaboration tools let artists work on songs together. When a track is ready, you can export it or share it.

Before choosing it, consider how you prefer to make music. A mobile studio can be convenient for recording on the go, but it may not suit someone who wants detailed control from desktop recording software or who does not want to record vocals on a phone.

Consider the ongoing fit

Think about whether you will use the beats, vocal processing and collaboration features, or whether a simpler recorder would be enough. Check what the app asks to access on your device and whether that makes sense for the features you plan to use. If you try it and decide it is not for you, consider whether you can remove your recordings or account as you would like before moving on.
