Are there any precautions when using Kawaii REC?
Kawaii REC is a web recording app developed by one developer (Yuri Mashiro). We prioritize easy-to-understand, fun, and quick operation so that as many people as possible can express themselves at a cheaper price. Therefore, we do not aim to fully support a wide range of sampling rates, bitrates, and data extensions, or to provide professional studio-quality effects. For productions that require professional quality, please consider using a DAW such as Pro Tools, Cubase, or Fender Studio, or using a professional sound engineer. Since it runs on a web browser, its behavior may vary depending on the browser, OS, and device performance. Basically, we recommend using Windows/Mac with plenty of physical memory and a large screen. Please keep the original data of important sound sources separately and save them frequently while working.

A reliable and cute recording software for activists!
Whether I'm working as a voice actor or singing, it takes a lot of time to start up recording software and choose effects. However, I can start recording in 3 seconds just by clicking on the bookmark in my usual browser, and it has enough effects that I want, so I was able to save a lot of time and complete the sound source by myself!

I hope that vocal activists can spread their wings more freely around the world.
Until now, I have been active in various areas of the sound-related doujin scene, including as a singer, voice actor, VTuber, mixer, Vocaloid P, etc. This app was created by condensing all the creative experiences I had there. Recording software is easier, cuter, and better! Enjoy this app and share your shining voice with the world!
