To record your own song, please, do the following steps:
You can open music files for accompaniment from the local computer or from the web server. Music files can be used in mp3, MIDI and WAV format or audio tracks from the audio CD. You can open music files in the menu File->Open File-> Open from disk/Open from server. The music file will be saved in the music track in the applet.
Click the Play button to playback the music accompaniment. If you want to use the music from your favourite song on a CD, you can remove the vocals and use its instrumental version. To remove vocals go to Effects-> Remove voice menu.
Note! Vocals can be removed from songs only if they were recorded in stereo mode without any special audio effects applied to them. Therefore, sometimes voice removing doesn't work well or does not work at all.
Click the Record button. The playback of the music accompaniment and recording of your voice will start. To stop the recording, click the Stop button. The recording will stop automatically if the music file playback will be finished.
Please pay attention to the input level indicator. It should be green while you sing. If it is red – decrease the microphone sensitivity or sing more softly, or increase the distance between the microphone and you mouth. If it is blue - increase the microphone sensitivity or sing louder, or hold microphone closer to your mouth. You can tune the microphone sensitivity on the applet control panel or in the Windows sound mixer.
To playback the vocals with music accompaniment, choose Both option on the control panel and click the Play button. To playback your voice without music, choose Voice on the control panel and click the Play button.
In case your voice sounds too loud or to softly, you can amplify it or enfeeble it on the control panel. You can do the same with music track.
Note! You can amplify or enfeeble full track only, but not some fragments of it.
If you like the song quality, you can save it on the web server or on your computer.
Go to File->Save song->Save to disk/Upload. Before saving the song, music and voice tracks will be mixed and encoded to mp3 format. You can choose the bit rate before encoding. The 96kbps or 128kbps bitrates are recommended.
