Guidelines
You can reference original media / music sheets etc. The whole piece does not need to be reproduced, usually focus on main melody / vocals, as a suggestion try humming along and see what fits best.
Some liberties can be taken, doesn't need to be perfect either! You can take the most known parts of the song, or cut out / shorten some of the parts that don't make sense to reproduce, re-arrange etc.
Do not include background music, however using other instruments (even not wind instruments) in the background is allowed (would impressive if you get an orchestra going!).
Recording
Please use high quality microphones if possible. In doubt, use a phone or tablet, they tend to have better microphones than average headset/laptop ones.
Record lossless (FLAC/ALAC/WAV etc.) when able, or highest bitrate possible.
Record on iOS
You can use the Voice Memos app to record audio. Place the device on a flat surface facing you, upwards.
Change Audio Quality to Lossless
By default the recording is made in a highly-compressed low-bitrate AAC. You can change this to lossless ALAC on Settings.
Go to Settings → Voice Memos → Audio Quality → Change to Lossless
Record on Android
You can use the Voice Recorder app that comes with most devices. Place the device on a flat surface facing you, upwards.
Alternatively, use a raw recorder application like Sound Recorder PCM.
Uploading
You can upload resulting files on uguu.se, catbox.moe or similar sites.
