Audio tips (clear, not harsh)

• Quiet room, soft surfaces if possible
• Phone 1–2m away, avoid chest-level placement
• Watch for clipping on loud notes
• Use headphones on playback to check clarity

Why is my file huge?

• 4K or 60fps recording
• HDR on
• High bitrate export
• No trimming before export

If your file is still too large, export again at 1080p/30fps with H.264 and a lower bitrate (8–12 Mbps). This keeps your vocal detail while staying inside the upload limit.
