Step 1 - read the manual
The re.corder instrument it amazing. It can be a regular recorder (if you remove the plastic mute), or an electronic instrument. The technology is quick and snappy with no lag. I had a number of issues when I started, but they were resolved after I looked at the manual. For example how to turn off the accompaniment in the learn mode. I have a few issues that the manual did not address. (Or at least I did not see it) 1) I cannot scroll ahead in any mode to see the full score of a song before I start. I only see it as I play. 2) If I want to practice a particular part of a song I cannot advance to a section and repeat just that section. 3) learn mode provides no instruction or links to instruction and is really “test” mode. 4) There are no songs in the pop and rock sections in play mode. Of these issues 2 and 4 are my biggest concern. Here is the question do I keep it or do I return it? As I said the technology is great, but the holes in the app are problematic. So keeping it depends on the developer. The app has not been updated for 10 months which is concerning. The paper work says that over time the software will become better with more songs etc. So if there is an update soon or planned update for later in the year, I’ll keep it. If not I’ll probably return it.
