          \n
        1. From the Home page, click the red \u201cNew Song<\/strong>\u201d button on the right. This takes you to a page named \u201cAdd New Song <\/strong>.\u201d
          \"\"<\/li>\n
        2. SONG TITLE<\/strong>: Type in whatever name you\u2019d like in the box next to \u201cSong Title.\u201d If you\u2019d prefer to add a name later, a default song name will be attached to your recording, consisting of the date and time of the recording, e.g., Rec_11_Apr_25_14_23_52, which means \u201cRecorded on April 11, 2025, at 2:23 and 52 seconds, p.m.\u201d<\/li>\n
        3. Be sure you have selected your microphone and the speaker or headphone output from the dropdown menus on the Settings page.<\/li>\n
        4. RECORD<\/strong>: Finally, click the red button with the microphone icon. This will immediately begin your audio recording.<\/li>\n
        5. PAUSE<\/strong>: To pause your recording, click the same button, which is now showing two vertical bars. Re-clicking that button will resume recording from where you paused.<\/li>\n
        6. STOP<\/strong>: Clicking the little square in the red circle will STOP the recording and you will then notice on the right, in the section headed \u201cRecorded File Details,\u201d an indication of the song\u2019s length in minutes and seconds and its file size.<\/li>\n
        7. START OVER<\/strong>: If you want to replace what you just recorded, click the START OVER button all the way on the right. This will erase your existing recording, allowing you to click Record again to start another audio recording.<\/li>\n
        8. PLAY<\/strong>: After clicking “Stop,” you can listen back to what you just recorded by pressing the Play button below or pressing the space bar.
          As you listen to the playback, the Play button will change to a Pause icon. Pressing the Pause button will pause the playback and allow you to re-record all audio from that point forward (see paragraph 10, below).<\/li>\n
