This is common on:\n\n  - School or exam devices\n\n  - Work or enterprise-managed browsers\n\n  - Systems with proctoring or lockdown software\n\nNote that some sites do not allow connection to their media. As a fallback you can use Tab capture mode.\n\nIf none of the above helps, reinstall the extension and try again.\n\n<tags>troubleshooting, no media, no sound, connection error, not working, tab capture</tags>\n\n<!-- suggest screenshot: settings panel with Tab Capture toggle -->\n\n---\n\n# Audio quality issues: glitches, stuttering, distortion\n\n`Free` `Pro`\n\nFree and Pro versions both depend on device performance.  \n\nTips:  \n\n- Close other tabs and applications.  \n\n- Disable unnecessary extensions.  \n\n- Check your task manager for background processes (e.g. updates, backups, virus scans) that may affect audio performance.\n\n- Restart browser or computer.  \n\n- Check sound card sample rate (48kHz recommended).  \n\n**Pro users**:  \n\n- Pro uses an improved algorithm that reduces clicks and noise.  \n\n- Delay is much lower compared to the Free version.  \n\n- On weak PCs, glitches can still occur.  \n\n<tags>troubleshooting, audio quality, glitches, jitter, stuttering, distortion, performance, noise</tags>\n\n---\n\n# Why is there a delay between audio and video?\n\n`Free`\n\nPitch shifting requires buffering the audio (200–400ms).  \n\nThis delay between audio and video is normal in the Free version.  \n\nThe Pro version uses a different audio engine, and has by default a much better latency.\n\n<tags>delay, latency, sync, lag, free version</tags>\n\n---\n\n# Do Pro users have less delay?\n\n`Pro` `Features`\n\nYes.  \n\nTranspose Pro uses a **more advanced algorithm** with:  \n\n- Minimal audio delay (much closer sync with video).  \n\n- Fewer clicks and artifacts.  \n\n- More natural sound, especially at extreme pitch or speed changes.  \n\n<tags>delay, latency, sync, lag, pro version, features</tags>\n\n---\n\n# Can I use local audio files?\n\n`Free` `Pro`\n\nYes.  \n\n1. Open the extension settings (⋮ → *Play File*).  \n\n2. Choose an audio file (mp3, wav, etc.) from your computer.  \n\n3. Play it and adjust pitch/speed/loops.  \n\n<tags>local files, mp3, wav, offline, from computer</tags>\n\n---\n\n# Can I save audio to a file?\n\n`Free` `Pro`\n\nNo.  \n\nSaving audio streams (e.g. from YouTube) is not allowed by their Terms of Service.  \n\nFor offline editing or exporting, use external tools such as **Audacity**, or the audio or video recorder on your device while playing your work.\n\n<tags>save, export, download, record, audacity, mp3</tags>\n\n---\n\n# Can I use Transpose with Chromecast?\n\n`Free` `Pro`\n\nYes, but only when you cast your **desktop**.  \n\n<tags>chromecast, casting, tv</tags>\n\n---\n\n# What is Auto Save?\n\n`Free` `Pro`\n\nWhen a new video start and you make a change to the Transpose controls, it is saved in your Recent history automatically.

when paused you get a short (≈300 ms) preview (*scrub time* configurable in Settings).  \n\n- Markers are always sorted by time.  \n\n- Click the **+ button** at the end of the marker list to create a new marker at the current time.  \n\n**Tip:** Combine advanced loops with **clips** (see [What are clips and how do I use them?](#what-are-clips-and-how-do-i-use-them)) to build step-by-step practice sequences.\n\n<tags>pro, features, looping, loops, markers, clips, timeline</tags>\n\n<!-- suggest screenshot: Pro timeline with markers blinking and loop range active -->\n\n---\n\n# How do loops work in the Free version?\n\n`Free` `Features`\n\nThe Free version has a simpler loop system with basic markers.\n\n**Adding markers**\n\n- Click the **bookmark icon** to save the current time as a marker.  \n\n- Each marker shows its time and optional label.  \n\n**Using markers**\n\n- Click the **→ jump icon** to move playback to that marker.  \n\n- If two markers follow each other in time, you can loop that segment by clicking the **repeat icon** between them.  \n\n**Loop toolbar options**\n\n- **Repeat song** → loop the entire track.  \n\n- **Wait-in count** → add a short count-in before repeating.  \n\n- **Sort** → reorder markers chronologically.  \n\n- **Add** → create a new marker at the current time.  \n\nFree loops are handy for quick practice ranges, but they lack the higher precision, editing, and sequencing options of Pro advanced loops.\n\n<tags>free, features, looping, loops, markers</tags>\n\n<!-- suggest screenshot: Pro markers + clips UI -->\n\n---\n\n# Why is there no Varispeed (linked pitch & speed)?\n\n`Free` `Pro`\n\nTranspose intentionally keeps **pitch and speed independent**.  \n\n- Musicians need to slow down fast passages **without changing key**, or change key **without changing tempo**.  \n\n- Linking them (varispeed, like a tape deck) would make practice harder, not easier.  \n\n- Independent control is the core purpose of Transpose.  \n\n<tags>varispeed, pitch, speed, features, linked</tags>\n\n---\n\n# What are clips and how do I use them?\n\n`Pro` `Features`\n\nIn Transpose Pro, practice fragments are stored as **clips**.  \n\nA clip is a saved audio range (loop) with its own playback and effect settings.  \n\nUnlike simple presets, clips are tied to a time range in the track.\n\n**Creating a clip**\n\n1. Select a range by setting start and end markers.  \n\n2. Click the **scissors ✂️ icon** to cut and save the range as a clip.  \n\n**Editing a clip**\n\n- Click **start time**, **end time**, or **name** to edit them directly.  \n\n- Use the **+ menu** inside the clip to add or adjust parameters such as speed, transpose, formant, or vocal reducer depth.  \n\n- Each clip remembers its own parameter values.  \n\n**Playing clips**\n\n- Press **Play** on a clip to start playback from that point; the rest of the sequence continues after it.  \n\n- Clips repeat automatically according to their loop setting.  \n\n- You can insert **wait counts** between clips to pause before the next one starts.  \n\n**Managing clips**\n\n- Duplicate a clip quickly from the **⋮ More menu**.  \n\n- Rename or reorder clips to build your own practice flow.  \n\n- Chain clips together to form a **sequence** (e.g. the same fragment at different speeds or pitches).  \n\nClips let you practice step by step, gradually increasing speed or changing pitch, without having to reset settings manually.\n\n<tags>pro, features, clips, sequences, looping, fragments</tags>\n\n<!-- suggest screenshot: Pro Clips panel with multiple clips, showing start/end, speed, transpose -->\n\n---\n\n# What is Formant control?\n\n`Pro` `Features`\n\nFormant control changes the **timbre** (voice color) without affecting pitch.  \n\n- Useful for adapting male ↔ female voice range.  \n\n- Can make instruments sound darker or brighter.  \n\n<tags>pro, features, formant, timbre, voice, sound quality</tags>\n\n---\n\n# What is the Vocal Reducer?\n\n`Pro` `Features`\n\nThe Vocal Reducer uses **Mid-Side processing** to isolate and reduce the center channel of a stereo track, where vocals are typically placed.  \n\nIt is not perfect on every song, but it can lower vocals in many cases. Results depend on how the track is mixed.\n\n**Main controls:**\n\n- **Vocal reducer (Depth)**  \n\n  Master dry/wet control.  \n\n  - At **0%** the original signal passes through.  \n\n  - At **100%** you only hear the fully processed signal.  \n\n  - Default 80% = strong but blended effect.  \n\n- **Vocal Cut (vocalCut)**  \n\n  Crossfades between two reduction techniques:  \n\n  - **0%** → multi-band notch filters (precise, cleaner).  \n\n  - **100%** → phase cancellation (L–R subtraction, more aggressive, may add artifacts).  \n\n- **Center Focus (centerFocus)**  \n\n  Shifts the stereo focus of the reduction.  \n\n  - Useful if vocals are not perfectly centered.  \n\n  - Move slightly left or right to better target vocals before Mid-Side processing.  \n\n- **Precision (Q)**  \n\n  Controls the filter sharpness:  \n\n  - High Q = very narrow, surgical cuts.  \n\n  - Low Q = broader cuts, better for variable vocals but may affect nearby instruments.  \n\n- **Low Cut / High Cut**  \n\n  Pre-filters to clean the signal before reduction:  \n\n  - **Low Cut**: removes rumble below e.g. 100 Hz.  \n\n  - **High Cut**: removes hiss/“air” above e.g. 8000 Hz, helps reduce artifacts from cymbals/hi-hats.  \n\n**Tips:**  \n\n- Start with - **Vocal reducer (Depth)**   first, then fine-tune the other controls.  \n\n- Works best on stereo mixes where vocals are centered.  \n\n- May not fully remove vocals; it is designed for practice and karaoke use, not for studio-quality separation.  \n\n<tags>pro, features, vocal reducer, karaoke, mid-side, remove vocals</tags>\n\n<!-- suggest screenshot: Pro settings panel with Vocal Reducer controls -->\n\n---\n\n# How do I save presets?\n\n`Pro` `Features`\n\nSave your favorite pitch/speed/loop settings as presets.  \n\n- Presets appear as quick-select chips.  \n\n- Useful to recall your practice settings instantly.  \n\n<tags>pro, features, presets, settings, save</tags>\n\n---\n\n# Do my settings sync between devices?\n\n`Pro` `Features`\n\nYes.  \n\n- Sign in with your Google account.  \n\n- Enable sync in Chrome/Edge.  \n\n- Your presets, loops, and history will follow you across devices.  \n\n<tags>pro, sync, account, devices, cloud save</tags>\n\n---\n\n# Can I also use the popup instead of the side panel?\n\n`Pro` `Features`\n\nYes, you can easily switch between the two user interfacese.
