Yes, the learner can make a recording playing along. The e-book system then analyses the performance and gives a feedback score on the accuracy of playing/singing.
To start a recording click on the REC button on the right-hand side.
The browser will prompt for permission to use the microphone. The green bar graph below the Record button indicates whether sound is being received. Please ensure in system settings of the device that the correct microphone is selected.
Headphones are required for the recording as the backing track sound would affect analysis of the performance.
There are four options for the recording:
- Click Track: Recording along to a metronome only
- Follow Me: The recording follows the performance in relation to the score
- Backing Track: The backing track is played back, i.e. minus the book instrument
- Demo audio: The full track, including the book instrument is played back
Please note: the recording function / feedback technology is not currently available for drums.
