Realtime Recognition
Realtime Recognition allows you to perform simultaneous sound recording either from a microphone or any other chosen WAVE input device and real-time sound conversion into MIDI format, based upon current settings.

Realtime Recognition quality is usually poorer than for the Offline Recognition. Notes that are played have the same volume (as far as the note volume cannot be calculated before the note ends), and usually there are more errors produced.

Realtime Recognition is performed in following steps:
·Start Realtime Module (Click Realtime)  
·Play your instrument or sing into the microphone.  
·Start Windows Mixer (Click Windows Mixer)  
·Set the recording source and the recording volume so that the "Level" Meter shows a blue changing bar. See documentation on Windows Mixer on how to do that.  
·MIDI notes should sound immediately as you play or sing them.  
·Adjust Realtime Recognition Settings and Equalizer to get better results. All changes are effected immediately.  
 
If you need to record recognized notes:
·Start recording by pressing Record button.  
·Get the recorded sequence by pressing "Done" button. If MIDI Window does not appear, it means that no notes have been recorded.  
·Save it, if you are using a registered version (Click Save).  

Recorded notes differ from the ones played in realtime. Before saving a record, note volumes are calculated, and "Minimal Note Duration" setting is applied.
