THE RESONANT FIELD NOTES
Your voice, in the right place.
Start with a short test, not a whole song. A few recorded lines tell you whether your microphone, backing level and timing are ready before you commit to a full performance.
Open KaraokeChoose a backing track and check your microphone
Choose Open backing track for an audio file on your device, or Try original demo to start with Neon Meridian. Use a backing track you have permission to perform and share. Resonant does not remove a singer from a commercial recording or supply a streaming song catalogue.
Connect headphones and choose Enable microphone. Grant microphone access when your browser asks, then speak or sing a line while watching the Voice meter. Microphone permission is needed for singing, but not for listening to the backing track.
Leave Hear my voice in headphones off for the first test. You can still record your voice with monitoring off. If you enable monitoring later and hear a distracting delay, turn it off again; Bluetooth and browser processing can make live monitoring arrive late.
Make space for the words
Choose Play backing and sing the loudest line you expect to record. Lower Backing until the words are easy to understand. If the voice sounds rough or distorted, lower Voice and move a little farther from the microphone, then record another test. Raising the backing volume will not repair an overloaded vocal.
If the melody sits outside a comfortable range, stop playback and try Backing key one or two semitones lower or higher. The available range is minus six to plus six semitones. This changes the backing, not your microphone pitch, and leaves the track duration and lyric timestamps unchanged.
Wait for key preparation before playing again. It supports mono or stereo tracks up to three minutes and 64 MiB decoded, at sample rates up to 96 kHz. For a longer track, keep Original key or prepare a shorter section. A compressed file’s download size is not its decoded audio size.
Use two lines to understand lyric timing
Open Your lyrics and paste your own words, or choose Import lyrics (.lrc or .txt). Plain text uses Previous line and Next line controls. Timestamped LRC advances automatically with the backing position.
For a small original test, paste the two lines in the table below, each on its own line. They should appear at two and six seconds. These timestamps are a format example, not lyrics synchronized to Neon Meridian. Replace the words and times to match your performance.
| Paste this line | Expected display time |
|---|---|
| [00:02.00]Let this room become a song | 2 seconds |
| [00:06.00]Carry one small note along | 6 seconds |
Record, listen, then adjust
Choose Back to start. Enable Four-beat count-in if you want time to prepare, and set Count-in BPM to the backing tempo if you know it. Choose Record performance, sing a short section and press Stop. Listen to the latest take before changing anything.
| What you hear or see | What to try next |
|---|---|
| Voice is hard to understand | Lower Backing, then record the same line again. |
| Recorded voice sounds consistently late | Try a small negative Recorded voice timing value, then make a new test take. |
| Recorded voice arrives too early | Try a small positive Recorded voice timing value. |
| Only the words on screen are late | Adjust Lyric delay; leave recorded voice timing alone. |
Keep the take you like
When the short test is balanced, return to the beginning and record your performance. Each take can last up to five minutes. Choose Download performance in the review panel to keep a file, or Edit this performance to trim and mix the finished take in Tune Editor.
Finished performances save in Recordings on this device when storage is available. Download a copy before clearing browser data or switching devices. A shared studio link opens the room; it does not include your private backing track, lyrics or recording.
A few useful answers.
Why can I record my voice but not hear it live?
Live microphone monitoring is off by default. The voice can still be recorded. Enable Hear my voice in headphones only when using headphones, and turn it off if the delay distracts you.
Can changing lyric delay fix a late vocal recording?
No. Lyric delay only moves the displayed words. Recorded voice timing changes the alignment of a new recording; use a short test take to check the result.
