Alchemy doesn't hear me

Check that Alchemy has microphone access in Settings › Privacy & Security › Microphone. For quiet singing, hold your iPhone about 30 cm (a foot) away, and record away from loud background noise.

How do I import a Voice Memo?

In Voice Memos, tap the recording, tap ⋯, then Share, and choose Alchemy. If Alchemy isn't listed, scroll to the end of the row of apps, tap More and add it. You can also open any audio file from Files with Import audio on the Capture screen.

How do I get my song into GarageBand or another DAW?

On the Harmony screen, tap the share button, then MIDI file. You get separate melody, chords and bass tracks, laid out on the beat.

The chords don't sound right

Try another key from the row of keys under the title, tap Another idea for a different progression, or tap any chord to choose an alternative. Chord every changes how often the chord can change.

Where are my recordings stored?

Only on your iPhone. Alchemy has no accounts and sends nothing anywhere. Deleting the app deletes your saved takes, so export anything you want to keep first. See the privacy policy.
