# Capturing a recording

This page is about capturing a human performance for later playback

1. Firstly ensure you have a working connection as described on the [set up](https://docs.apps.gazeley.uk/books/st-marys-organ/page/set-up "Set up") page
2. At the bottom of the OrganAssist screen, click the red *Record* button
3. Play the organ as usual. All of your key presses, stop changes and swell expression pedal changes will be recorded.
4. Click the *Stop* button when you’ve finished. You can stop after just one piece, or after a whole service. OrganAssist will detect periods of silence between pieces, and automatically pause itself, and cut up your recording into segments. So you can record a whole service and you won't get an hour-long recording of mostly silence.
