1) How to install Spire

Note, at the time of recording this video, I didn’t realise the Android version requires the “Spire Studio” hardware.

2) How to Create a new project in Spire

3) How to use Soundcheck


I recommend you try several different placements of the recording device, so see which captures the best sound from your instrument.
Remember to redo the sound check process each time to optimise your dynamic range and prevent distortion.

The other option you can try is Garage Band if you are on an iOS device, but to honest, its a lot more effort to get the same kind of result. Spire is much more user friendly and gets you straight to what you need and recording fast and easy.
