Hi! I was wondering if I could use my mobile phone instead of a laptop or desktop? I have a plug in microphone for it. I don't have access to a laptop/desktop.
I got my 'welcome' email, and I understand you need a computer and need to install audacity to record. Please could someone assist me? Thanks in advance!

If you can record, edit, export with the correct tech settings, and upload the files (and make any other edits required after someone proof-listens, such as re-record a spot you messed up or missed), then you can use whatever device you have.

Someone else may be along with app suggestions. What kind of device do you have (an iThing, Android, etc.)?
