How Take works
Take is a place to share works in progress with the people you make music with. The unit is a project, not a file. Everyone hears the same current mix and leaves notes on it at exact moments.
Rough is the full mix, one stereo file. It is the current take everyone listens to. Upload a new one and it becomes current; old ones stay in the history.
Stem is one part on its own (vocal, drums, bass). Stems are what a collaborator pulls into their own session to work on.
Get in
Go to the home page and click Log in. Enter your email for a magic link, or use Continue with Google. With the magic link, check your inbox and click it. You land on your dashboard.
Start a project
On the dashboard, click New project, give it a name, and you are inside it.
Add your music
In the Roughs section, drop in your bounce and click Push rough. That becomes the current take. In the Stems section, drag in individual parts (.wav, .aiff, .flac, .mp3).
A freshly uploaded file shows as processing for a moment while Take makes the web playable copy, then it plays.
Invite people
In the Invites section, click New invite link, then Copy link, and send it to anyone. They open it, sign in, and they are in the project. No setup hoops.
Give and get feedback
Play the current rough and leave a note in the comment box. It pins to the exact second in the track, so feedback lands in the right place. For notes that are not tied to a moment, use the project discussion.
Use it inside Reaper (paid)
Click Reaper access on the dashboard and follow Install the script: copy the ReaPack URL, import it in Reaper under Extensions, ReaPack, Import repositories, then install Take.lua. You also need the free ReaImGui extension.
Create an API token on that page and paste it into the Take panel in Reaper. Then Import pulls a stem onto a track at its timecode, and the push buttons render your track or mix and send it back up as a new stem or rough.
Share a wrap page
When a project is worth showing off, make it public from its wrap page. Anyone with the link can then listen and read the comments without an account. Private projects stay private.
Upgrading
The browser side is free. Reaper access is the paid feature, twelve dollars a month. On the dashboard, the Plan card has Upgrade. The project owner pays, and everyone they invite uses Reaper on that project for free, so one paying person unlocks the whole band.
