User Guide

Last updated: August 12, 2026

Mimu helps you practice an instrument by recording yourself, listening back, and refining your performance. Use the four tabs at the bottom of the screen — Record, Accompaniment Library, List, and Settings — to build your practice routine.

1Recording

The "Record" tab lets you choose from three backing modes.

The active microphone (such as the built-in mic) is shown at the bottom of the screen, along with a real-time tuner that detects the pitch of your playing and displays it as a note name (like "C4" or "E4"), referenced to A = 440Hz. Tap the round button to start recording.

Partial Practice: when you pick a track in Accompaniment mode, a toggle appears — turn it on to show a waveform where you can set point A and point B, then loop that section while you practice. You can also jump forward/back 5 seconds with the skip buttons.

5Settings

Set default values for the adjustments you make on the review screen, so you don't have to tweak them every time.

Use "Reset All to Default" to reset all of these at once.

6Mimu Pro

The free tier limits you to saving 5 recordings, and EQ isn't available. Upgrading to Mimu Pro removes that limit and unlocks EQ (low, mid, and high bands). It's a one-time purchase, not a subscription. You can buy or restore it from the "Upgrade to Mimu Pro" button at the top of the Settings tab.
