csdavis says "recording tools"

Hm, I haven't used any particular tool on my computer to record a chorus, but I do have a few suggestions that may help: I know that there are various recording apps for iPhone if you still wanted to use a gadget; the Voice Memo app would work in a pinch, if you have an iPhone. For recording on your computer, I would go with GarageBand if you have a Mac. For PC (or Mac, actually if you prefer not to use GarageBand), you can download something called Audacity for free at http://audacity.sourceforge.net/. I would recommend investing in some sort of external microphone setup rather than a laptop's internal mic, though I don't know much about how to set that up for a chorus. Anyway, these are not technically web tools, but software that you can use on your computer for recording. Hopefully this helps!
