Why is there a delay when I start recording?

Does mote keep missing the first few seconds of your recording?

The issue is probably with the microphone or headset that you're using.

Sometimes bluetooth headsets, including Airpods, can we really slow to establish a connection with your computer when you start talking.

The easiest fix is to use a wired connection (either a 3.5mm headphone or USB microphone) or simply record directly into your computer, provided you have low background noise and a decent microphone on your machine.
