Record a clean take

Capture uncompressed 16-bit WAV vocals the way they actually sound.

Steps

  1. 1

    Arm the recorder

    Use the Track Recorder. It captures uncompressed 16-bit WAV at your device's native sample rate — no lossy step in between.

  2. 2

    Set a good level

    Watch the meter and aim for peaks well below the ceiling so you keep headroom and avoid clipping. Green is friendly, red is danger.

  3. 3

    Record & review

    Take it more than once. Saved takes stay in your session's library where you can compare and keep the keeper.

  4. 4

    Export the take

    Download your take from the session library whenever you want it elsewhere. It lives only on your device until you export it.
