If youâre an avid social media user, youâve probably seen a lot of videos floating around lately of people singing a cappella harmonies. (Acappella is the term for singing without instruments or any background music, and harmonies are multiple layers of notes that complement each other.) These videos often appear in the form of a grid of several videos with each one producing its own sound to create the harmony. Cool, right?
The video and audio is all done using a free iOS app called Acapella. It lets you choose a recording layout based on the number of harmonies you want to add to the song, then has you record each individual video while singing and stitches them together. It takes just minutes. So if youâre interested in learning how to use the app and share your own musical creations, read on.
Using Acapella to Share Your Talent
When youâve downloaded the Acapella app, youâre free to browse some other a capella videos that users have made and publicly submitted, but since youâre reading this article I imagine you want to learn how to share your very own.
The first thing you should do in Acapella is pick the layout for your video. You should have planned ahead about what song you want to sing and how many different components you want it to have: melodious singing, layers of harmonies, simulated or performed instruments, beatboxing, etc. Pick the layout based on that.
Tap Record a New Video at the bottom of the app. You can have as many as nine squares of content in one video, or as little as one. You can also choose between an aspect ratio of 1:1 (square), 16:9 and 4:5. On the next screen, pick a length for your video as little as 6 seconds or as long as 10 minutes.
Note: 3-minute and 10-minute lengths must be unlocked through separate in-app purchases of either $1.99 or $9.99 respectively.
Picking the length is tricky because Acapella will force you to record for the entire duration, so you wonât be able to finish up early and end the video. Plus, you have to time your music just right to fit the selected timeframe.
Now that youâve set the framework for your video, itâs time to start recording. Tap any of the gray squares to start recording the video that youâll place there. Notice at the bottom the toolbar that can help enhance the videos first.
Tap Play to start playing what youâve already recorded for a particular slot, tap the Volume icon to adjust and improve the volume and balance, tap the Filters icon to apply a different look or tap the Copyright icon on the right to style the watermark to your liking.
Additionally, once youâre recording a video, you have options to edit some song options like tempo and time signature. Plus you can optionally add a song from your iTunes library to play in the background (though that does defeat the a capella purpose of the app.)
When youâre done tweaking and filming, youâll get to review the video clip and either discard it or add it to the collection by tapping the Check mark at the top right. Repeat this process for each slot in your a capella video until all of them are filled with song.
From here, itâs just a matter of tapping Share at the top right. Before you can share it to social networks, Acapella asks you to share it to the Mixcord network either publicly or privately. Publicly will allow other Acapella users to search for and see your masterpiece too.
Itâs that easy to get started with Acapella. Of course, if you want your video to sound good, it probably wonât hurt to have some background and experience with music. Either way, enjoy the creative process.

One Critique
Personally, I love to sing. By myself, with other people, whenever I can. This app was actually recommended to me by a friend, and the idea of singing harmonies without getting together with a friend sounded so fun, hence I downloaded this app. I was happily surprised. I learned how everything worked in a couple of minutes; itâs so easy to use. I love that you become a part of a family. Everyone on the app has the same passion for music, and itâs fascinating to watch/listen to peopleâs talents. The only thing: I am disappointed in the fact that the longer recordings and other frames are part of a subscription. If anything, you should pay to have the app and have everything included. It is very worth it. Aside from that, this app is super fun and I highly recommend! ??â¨
Free Acapella App For ComputerWhy the expensive subscription?
I really like this app. Itâs very useful for sketching song ideas. The real huge bummer is the fact that I canât record over 1 minute without purchasing a regular subscription for roughly $50 a year. The price in itself isnât a huge issue but the fact that the advanced features are only temporary sort of irks me a bit including not being able to save my files in the free version. I would have no problem paying a one time $50 price tag upfront for a full version of the app but it feels like a slap in the face when they want a yearly paycheck from people who want to use this. The app itself is wonderful. If you like making Instagram videos itâs great because they can only be one minute anyway. I would recommend this app to friends but the subscription is a little too much for the advanced version to be worth it. If you have access to a laptop or desktop just use iMovie. Itâs a one time purchase and the possibilities are endless compared to the limited free version of this app.
I wish there was an option for no borders!
This app is a great tool for recording multiple lines at once. However, I have a few issues with it:
1. You are forced to have a border- it would be great if I could record videos without a border separating them (basically just no lines in between them) 2. You can't trim videos from the beginning- you can only trim videos from the end, so if (for example) you have a harmony coming in later, you can't cut out the beginning section where you're waiting for your line to come in and you're just awkwardly looking at the camera 3. It can be super glitchy- especially when trimming videos It's still a great app, but if all of these things were fixed it would have a perfect 5 star rating!!
