FAQ
- How do I record a sample?
- Tap the red record button on the home screen. Recording stops automatically after 10 seconds, or tap again to stop early.
- How do I play a sample?
- After recording, you're taken to the performance screen. Drag your finger across the terrain to scrub through the sample. Your horizontal position controls the playback position.
- What does two-finger mode do?
- Place two fingers on the terrain to create two independent grain clouds. Each finger controls its own playback position and pitch, letting you layer two textures from the same sample.
- Why does the app need microphone access?
- Drift records audio samples from your microphone for granular playback. All audio stays on your device and is never uploaded anywhere.
- How are recordings named automatically?
- Drift uses Apple's on-device sound classification to identify what you recorded (e.g. "speech", "guitar", "ambient"). You can rename any recording by swiping left on it.
- Can I delete recordings?
- Yes. Swipe left on any recording in the list and tap Delete.
