Doing your Riyaaz (practice) on your own is a very important part of learning Indian classical music. But what if your pitch is not correct while you practice? If your teacher is not around, you may spend hours and hours building up a wrong rendering of a bandish.

The very first thing to do when you run SwarShala the first time is to define your audio settings. This is very important because the software will assign some settings by default, but they may not be what you want.
