Tips for Better Recordings
Get the best audio quality from your recordings:
- Find a Quiet Space: Background noise can significantly impact recording quality. Choose a quiet room away from traffic, appliances, and other noise sources.
- Optimal Microphone Distance: Stay about 6-12 inches from your microphone. Too close can cause distortion, too far makes your voice sound distant.
- Test Before Recording: Make a short test recording to check your levels and audio quality before recording anything important.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my recording uploaded to any server?
No. Your recordings are processed and stored entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to any server, giving you complete privacy.
What happens to my recordings if I close the browser?
Recordings are stored temporarily in browser memory. If you close the tab or browser, unsaved recordings will be lost. Always download recordings you want to keep.
Why is my microphone not working?
Make sure you've granted microphone permission when prompted. Check your browser and system settings to ensure the correct microphone is selected and not muted.
What's the maximum recording length?
There's no hard limit, but very long recordings use more memory. For recordings over an hour, computer performance may be affected. Consider saving in segments for long sessions.
Can I edit my recordings?
This is a recording tool, not an editor. For editing, download your recording and use audio editing software like Audacity (free) or your preferred audio editor.
