Songs

Your entire repertoire, in one place.

Stop losing track of chords on napkins and recordings scattered across five different apps. nGage.band keeps every song your band plays — with all its details, files, and recordings — neatly organised and always accessible.

What it does

Store everything about a song

Title, key, tempo, mood, duration — all the metadata you need to filter, sort, and build setlists efficiently.

Record directly in the app

Capture a rehearsal take, a quick arrangement idea, or a full run-through within the app. No extra software needed.

Attach files and notes

Sheet music, chord charts, lyrics, reference recordings — attach them directly to the song so everyone finds them in one place.

Works on any device

Whether you’re at your desk or backstage with your phone, your songs are always accessible.

How it works

  1. Add a song — fill in title, key, tempo and any other details.
  2. Record a take directly in the browser, or upload existing audio.
  3. Attach files: PDFs, images, audio — or link from your cloud storage.
  4. Write notes for lyrics, chords, or arrangement tips.
  5. Your bandmates see everything instantly.
Storage limits

 We’re not trying to become another cloud storage service. That’s why storage and uploads are limited to reasonable amounts per song.

If you think you need more uploads or recordings, you should probably reconsider… in order to keep your files organised.

But if you really insist on needing more storage, you can link an external cloud service such as DropBox or WebDAV services (there are some cheap and reliable options available!) and use that for storage instead.

Due to heavy restrictions we do not support Google Drive, One Drive or iCloud Drive. Support for those is on the roadmap for the next few months though. We would recommend a 1TB Storage Box at Hetzner, it’s very cheap and reliable and works seamlessly with the nGage.band app.

In-app recording

On the Song view and edit pages, you can record your rehearsal or idea directly into the app. Recordings are limited to roughly 8 minutes to keep storage amounts within reason. You can choose to record in mono or stereo – this of course depends on what your device supports.

Recordings are done in a good audio quality and converted to mp3 before they are stored to save space.

Metronome and Key

The Song View and Edit pages have built in metronome and key functions so you can instantly play a beep in the right tempo or quickly hear the key to start singing!

Files and Notes

You can upload various file types such as PDF chord schemes or lyrics, but you can also type the chords, lyrics and other info in a note and download that as PDF or Word file at any time.
