Edit Recording Update: Now Available for Groups

You asked, we built it. Edit Recording now works for Group performances!

When we launched Edit Recording, Solos and Duets came first, where you could adjust your vocal volume, no re-recording required. Now that ability is here for Group recordings too.

What you can do with it depends on your role:

Started the group song? You’re in charge of the mix now. Adjust the volume on every join, and remove any layer, all from one place.

Joined a group song? You’ve got control over your own part(s). Adjust, save. Simple.

Here’s how it works:

For Group Creators: The Whole Mix, In Your Hands

  1. Head to your group performance, tap •••, and select Edit Recording. (Note: this is also where “Remove Joins” now lives. Same power, now with volume control.)
  2. Your original recording sits at the top, with every join listed below: singer, part, when they joined, and current volume.
  3. Drag the slider to adjust that layer’s volume. Changed something you didn’t mean to? Tap the Reset button to revert just that layer.
  4. Want to remove a join? Tap the remove icon up top, select the joins you want removed, and confirm. Just know: removal is permanent, but your own initial invite recording won’t be removed.
  5. Hit Save, and everything, volume tweaks and removals, goes through together.

For Group Joiners: Fine-Tune Your Part

  1. On your join, tap ••• → Edit Recording.
  2. Slide to set your vocal volume, then save. Added more than one part? You’ll see each one listed separately to adjust.
  3. Want out entirely? You can still remove your own join(s) anytime from the ••• menu .

Quick note: there’s no live preview of your adjustment, so listen back after saving to make sure the balance feels right.

Edit Recording for Groups is a VIP feature, live now on iOS (version 14.2.5) and Android (version 13.0.7). This is still early days for group mixing, and we’ve got more in the works. Stay tuned!
