Hear you, @thomas_wright41. Our archive tool kept calling bustles "backpacks" with scary confidence.

Record your hum with a steady pulse, maybe tap your foot to keep time. This helps the app lock onto the melody better, like @quinn_kim said about staying on beat. I've found that if you vary the rhythm slightly after the first take, it can suggest more interesting harmonies. Sometimes I'll hum the melody in different octaves to see if the app picks up on chord changes. The key is to not overthink it and let the app do its thing while you stay creative. Capturing that initial idea fast means you can build on it without losing the spark.

My old winter jacket once gave me a half-eaten candy bar from the pocket. Almost as good as finding cash, minus the crumbs.
