Getting Started

Please make sure you are using the most recent version of the Google Chrome web browser on your Chromebook, laptop, or desktop. NO DEVICES!

You will also need a set of WIRED headphones to record. No airpods or wireless earbuds.

I would recommend reading through this entire instructional slideshow and watching the videos PRIOR to doing any recording. As always, email your instructor with any questions you may have after reviewing these instructions.

Find the Link

To get started, your teacher will have sent out an invite link to bring you to the proper page. Please use that link to access the website any time you would like to upload a recording. The recording is private, so you will not be able to access it through the website.

Recording Settings

If you already had your headphones plugged in, the settings should default to the correct output devices. Click the play button ( ▶) to test the sound. Make sure you can hear the metronome.

If you did not have headphones plugged in, you will need to plug them in now and, if you cannot hear the metronome when you press play ( ▶), use the drop down menus to select the correct microphone device.

Ready to Record!

Recording

You get EIGHT (8) count off beats before your recording starts.

Remember to use a set of WIRED headphones to hear the metronome when you record. No airpods or wireless earbuds.

You may redo your recording if you make a mistake, but try to limit yourself to 2-3 takes.

You will not see anyone else’s recording until your instructor compiles the video and makes it public. Likewise, nobody will have a chance to see your recording until the submissions are complete. If you’d like to try rerecording after you have already submitted a video, please contact your teacher so they can delete your first recording.

Calibrating Your Recording

After you finish recording, you will then see a sound wave of what you just recorded. In order for your recording to line up with your classmates’ recordings, you will need to drag the sound wave so that your playing lines up with the metronome clicks.

TO REVIEW

Listen to the recording. Re-record if necessary.

Make sure you can hear the metronome in your WIRED headphones.

Calibrate the recording to account for microphone delay.

Record yourself playing the assigned part after the 8 beat count in.
