Recording and Tapping

Yass Reloaded supports note-tapping recording, meaning you record note timing by tapping along with playback. This does not mean microphone or audio recording.

When to Use It

Note-tapping recording is especially useful when:

• lyrics already exist but note timing is weak
• you want to re-time a phrase quickly by ear
• you want to reconstruct timing before refining pitch placement
• a stable absolute pitch view helps more than manual page-by-page editing

Basic Workflow

1. Select the note or note range you want to record
2. Start the note-tapping recording mode
3. Tap note start and release for note end
4. Let Yass Reloaded place the tapped notes
5. Refine with editing tools or Align to Melody

During Recording

The note-tapping recording UI can show:

• a fixed rolling time window
• a dedicated tap cursor
• a tap queue for upcoming syllables
• pitch lines as timing and pitch guidance
• committed taps moving away from the cursor as playback advances

Typical Outcomes

After tapping, Yass Reloaded can:

• keep the recorded result
• continue from the first remaining untapped note
• discard the interrupted attempt

Alignment After Tapping

Note-tapping recording is usually followed by note refinement:

• manual editing
• align to melody
• octave-aware cleanup in the absolute view

Notes

• the visible behavior can differ between relative and absolute pitch view
• external pitch overlays depend on the selected track and available pitch analysis
• at the end of a song, the final tapped notes should still be committed even if playback stops naturally
• if this documentation says “recording” in this section, it always means note-tapping recording
