FAQ Index | Importing and Exporting tracks

• Exporting the base track, or how to overdub using your 3rd party DAW
  
  
  • Audiocopy / Pasteboard
    To use Audiocopy or the General Pasteboard long press on the track you want to export and select General Pasteboard or Audiocopy from the popup menu so that you will be able to paste and export the track to other third apps you have installed on your device (for example Audioshare or Dropbox) and then able to import in any software your like.
    
    
    
    Note: once you’re finished recording and mixing with the 3rd party app, you’ll need to prepare a mixdown to import back to Songtree. You must then remember to mute the base track you’ve imported so that only the track you’ve recorded (along with any effects or any other stuff you’ve added) will be exported to Songtree.

    A list of applications that support the kind of file you’re dropping will appear on your device. Once you select the Songtree app, the file will be imported and you’ll then be able to upload your contributions to the Songtree community.
