Apple innovates with layered recordings in Voice Memos
The partnership with Canadian singer and songwriter Michael Bublé, country star Carly Pearce and music producer Greg Wells served to demonstrate this feature. The trio recorded Michael Bublé's new song, "Maybe This Christmas", with vocals recorded using the Voice Memos app on an iPhone 16 Pro.Simplifying music creation with the iPhone 16 Pro
"I think people don't realise the crucial role that Voice Memos on iPhone plays in the creative process for musicians," said Bublé. "And now, with Layered Recordings, if an artist has a moment of inspiration, being free from the traditional studio experience becomes an advantage, not a limitation. It's so characteristic of Apple to create something we didn't know we needed – and now we can't live without it." After installing iOS 18.2, users of the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max can layer a vocal track over an existing instrumental recording, without the need for headphones. Instrumental compositions can be played through the iPhone's speaker, whilst the vocals are recorded simultaneously using the iPhone 16 Pro's microphones.

Apple indicates that this feature is powered by the A18 Pro chip, using advanced processing and machine learning to isolate the vocal recording. Voice Memos can create two individual tracks so that users can apply additional mixing and production in apps such as Logic Pro. Various backing instrumentals, such as acoustic guitar or piano, can serve as the first layer for a recording and, through Logic Pro, artists and producers can send a mix of instrumental music as a compressed audio file directly to Voice Memos to layer vocals.Listen to Michael Bublé's music on Apple Music
