Recording in browser
To get the best quality out of recording audio to add into the generation process on Stable Audio is by using a wired mic.
There is latency when using bluetooth headphones to record audio on the Stable Audio website of around half a second. Remember this when recording.
For the best experience use professional recording equipment and then upload.
