Recording takes, headphones and MIDI keyboards

Add an audio channel

Tap + Channel → Record or load audio. The first time, the browser asks to use the microphone. Allow it. Plug in wired headphones so the speakers don’t leak into the take.

Record a take

Press ● Record take. You get a one-bar count-in, then it records one pass (the part you’re looping, or from here to the end of the song) and stops by itself. Press ● while the song plays to punch in.

3. 3Loop part or Loop song decides what one take covers

Tip: Notes to Play subtracts your device’s speaker and microphone delay automatically. Bluetooth headphones add extra delay; wired is best for recording.

Line it up and trim it

The take shows as a waveform. Drag the gold ⚑ IN flag to where the take really starts; it snaps to the bar or beat. Drag the red OUT to trim the end, slide the wave, or nudge it ◀ ▶ by 10 ms. Undo covers all of it.

Connect a MIDI keyboard or a remote
