### 2/5 — Got a few bugs

*2026-08-29, version 3.7.0*

When you’re recording something, it automatically monitors and feeds back, which is really irritating. 

There’s also issues when you change the pitch sometimes it’ll retain the pitch when you go back to the original or sometimes the pitch change won’t work at all  

When you want to change the pitch, the menu item is blocking it so you have to sweep it down every time that’s really irritating

### 4/5 — It’s good
