Standing Sound guide

Short answers to what goes wrong most often.

It says it needs WebGL2 or Web Audio

The room is drawn on your graphics card and the sound is read by the browser's own audio. Open it in a current Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari, and turn off any extension that blocks WebGL.

The microphone was not allowed

The browser asks before the page may listen. Allow the microphone for this page in the address bar, then press Microphone again.

A tab is silent

When Chrome or Edge asks what to share, pick a tab, not a window or the screen, and turn on Share tab audio. The tab's sound keeps playing as before; the room only reads it.

A point I touch stays quiet

The recorder keeps the last four minutes of time, paused or not, so a long pause shortens how far back it reaches; an older point has nothing left to play, and the room says so. A piece kept when the recorder could not run has no sound, and says that too.

A 4K take stutters

4K asks a lot of the graphics card: the room is drawn at the take's full size while the browser records it. Choose 1080p under Take, or close other heavy tabs.

The take is a WebM, not an MP4

Firefox records a WebM; Chrome, Edge and Safari record an MP4 with H.264 video and AAC sound. YouTube takes either. For Instagram, record in Chrome, Edge or Safari.

A take has no sound

A take records what the room hears. A file that is held or paused is silent for that stretch: let it go, or press Space. A browser tab needs Share tab audio turned on.

Can I use the sample songs in my video?

Yes. Bhakti, Cassettes, Rain and Astral Caravan are by cyberyogi, made with Suno, and free to use in what you record here.

Chrome asks about downloading several files

E saves two files at once, the JSON and the PLY. Allow it once for this page, or save them one at a time with JSON and PLY.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. The room fills the screen and carries its own buttons at the foot: Corridor, Bloom and Score, then Hold, Keep, Take and Picture. One finger turns the room, two pinch it nearer, and a tap hears the point under it. The reading is one line at the top.

The panel is a sheet at the bottom, for a sound file, the samples, the microphone and a take's size. Held upright, a phone records a tall take, 1080 × 1920, unless you choose otherwise; 1080p is the size a phone draws most easily. A phone cannot share a browser tab's sound, so that source is not offered there. While a sound plays or a take runs, the page asks the phone to keep its screen on.
