RECORDING

Pro Tips for BEST Recordings

Overcoming Insecurities:

Planning:

Practicing:

Practice singing with a consistent and gentle tone.
Ensure your voice is loud enough to be recorded clearly while maintaining a gentle tone.
Find a quiet room with minimal background noise for a clear recording. The microphone will pick up on all exterior noises and degrade the recording. When the kids are asleep is the quietest time!

Recording Process: (This may take several attempts to get right!)

Locate the record button on the back of the music box (refer to the diagram provided).
Keep your finger away from covering the microphone hole. Also do not breathe into the hole - as the microphone is very sensitive and the results will not be clear.
Hold your arm stretched out approximately 40cm away from your mouth (to prevent any muffling caused by breathing air directly into the microphone).
Time to sing: First press in and release the record button. You will hear ONE beep, indicating that recording has started.
Immediately after releasing the button, start singing your song.
To prevent gaps of silence in the recorded sound when it loops, begin singing your song immediately after releasing the button avoiding any significant pauses.
When you finish singing: immediately press the record button for the second time. You will hear TWO beeps, signifying the end of the recording.
Test play your recording: Click the AUDIO icon on the front of the box and click the VOLUME (+) as many times as you can until it reaches the maximum sound level. If your song isn't loud enough, re-record the song using a louder voice.
The recorded song is locked in until you press the record button again.
Be mindful not to press the record button when you are removing or fitting the music box into the doll as it will delete the recording. When reapplying the box strap, slide the strap upwards from the bottom to avoid pushing in the button.

Optimal Results:

To achieve seamless songs, consider recording your voice for longer periods, ideally greater than 1 minute in length. This will reduce the frequency of loop transitions and provide smoother playback.
To avoid any click sounds in the recording be extra gentle when pressing the record button inwards, release the button but keep your finger touching the button because the minute the button is released the microphone will pick up on any vibrations resulting in a light click sound at the start of each audio loop- Yes the mic is super sensitive!
**It is the best quality mic available for such a small size sound box.
To avoid background noises, record your song when your child is asleep at a time where you can go into a room and close the door. The mic is ultra sensitive; it will pick up on day time car traffic if you live near a road. Nighttime is most appropriate for quiet surroundings.

FITTING MUSIC BOX INTO DOLL

CUT TAG (Optional):

ADJUST FILLING:

ATTACH BOX STRAP: Be mindful not to press the record button when you are removing or fitting the music box into the doll as it will delete the recording. When reapplying the box strap, slide the strap upwards from the bottom to avoid pushing in the button.

First make sure the strap is untwisted. Make sure the strap has the “stitched join” aligned with the back of the box (microphone hole, USB post and Rec Button) and the buttons aligned to the sides of the box. The smooth surface of the buttons lays against the box surface, and the bumpy side with the click grooves face outwards.
The strap should lay flat and directly across the bottom of the VOLUME text on the front of the music box.

FIT SOUND BOX INTO DOLL:

Place the doll face down onto a table.
Hold the music box with the (strap applied correctly) and fit it into the koala’s back pocket.
Make sure the ON button is at the top.
Push the box as far deep as possible into the pocket.
Attach/align the strap snaps with the inside of the pocket.
Pull the fabric around the pocket with one hand while pushing the sound box down with the other hand.
Work your way around the pocket pulling the edges up while pushing the box down until it feels like it can not go any deeper.
Let the magic begin!
