My recording sounds weird!

We're sorry to hear that. All the recordings are made on your device. Try closing other apps and tabs. That will free up memory. And try again. If the problem persists let us know. If your recording is silent, try disconnecting any bluetooth headset that might be connected as those sometimes cause issues.
