You can activate a metronome in the top right corner (mobile apps), that helps you stay in time when recording. Make sure to use Headphones when using the metronome. Now, set up your instrument and get ready to play. Tap the record button. After the countdown, the recording will start. When you are done playing, tap the recording button again. Don’t worry, you can record as many times as you like, so don’t hesitate to have multiple attempts for the perfect recording, since only a good recording can result in a good transcription.
