Learn the controls

Open Guide > Start Quick Tour in the app for six short, illustrated steps. Pinch with two fingers to zoom, then tap note names in the left-hand bar to hear them. Tap a blob for center cents, drag to scrub samples, or hold it to choose an ascending or descending scale.

Set the playback range

Adjusting your vocal range also moves the notes and chords higher or lower. In Vocal Analyzer, hold one comfortable low note, stop singing, then repeat it. Do the same with a comfortable high note; you can slide up gently before holding it. Review both notes before saving.

The microphone is not responding

Open Legal & Privacy in Vocal Light and confirm microphone processing is allowed. Then check iPhone Settings > Privacy & Security > Microphone. Microphone features remain off until you start Sing or range measurement.

Bluetooth notes or chords are silent

Confirm the headphones are selected as the iPhone audio output and keep the read-only iPhone volume at 65% or below. After connecting or changing a route, tap the reference note or chord again.

Reference playback stopped

Vocal Light stops its generated playback when iOS reports an iPhone volume above 65%, when the app becomes inactive, or after certain route changes. Lower the iPhone volume, return to Vocal Light, and tap the reference again.

Pitch follows another sound

Live pitch is designed for one unaccompanied voice. Move to a quieter space, stop nearby music or instruments, let Vocal Light’s reference fade, and try the note again. The app can still choose a wrong octave or miss a note.

A note or range looks wrong

Pitch and range results are estimates. Check the octave, repeat a comfortable note, or enter your range manually. Clear Notes clears the detected timeline without changing your musical setup; Full Reset restores practice defaults. Never force a note to satisfy the display.

Clear saved practice data

Open Legal & Privacy and choose Clear Saved Practice Data. Delete the app to remove the remaining local app container, including device-local acceptance history.
