Hi all,
Have been using my Nexus 9 in a school environment to quickly film students doing their work.
The volume of the recorded video is appallingly low - and virtually makes the devices not fit for purpose.
Additionally, the continued auto-focus makes the video very blurry - but I believe I should be able to resolve this with a setting.
Is there any way of improving recording volume? Do I need to use a different video recording app (one that doesn't produce 3gp files)

I was recording some video today. Then I went to play it back... and OH GOD THE NOISE. I felt my ears were being abused. I looked at the properties of the video file... It's recording the audio track with AMR_NB at 62kpbs and 16khz!? WTF!
Is there anything I can do to fix this? 62kbps 16khz is pretty abysmal... What good is gorgeous 1080p video when it sounds terrible?
I checked the media_profiles.xml file, the device supports recording to AAC at 44.1khz, and a bitrate of 128kbps, so why can't I enable this?
Also, recording through "Tape Machine Lite" (free on the market) sounds great, and does indeed record at 44.1khz, and a bitrate of 708kbps O) so it's definitely possible. The in built voice recorder however recorded at a crummy 16Khz.
TL: DR- Sound recording quality in video recorder is bad, but recording via external app appears to be good, indicating the mic is capable of the task. Is there any way to force the video to record with the good quality?

Hi
Android is seriously lacking a good audio recording program. I have been using android for a few month now and it rocks. However, there are experiences that I have had with WINMO that have been better, in the recording program department especially.
The program I used while with WINMO was VITO audionotes. Hands down the best recorder because the quality was perfect, the interface was simple, and it brought my first experience with kinetic scrolling to winmo.
Currently, I am using another awesome program but on android now called Tape-talk, (TAT). It does everything that Audio notes does except one thing, record in mp3 format. TAT only records in either wav or 3gp. This is a big gripe because the files I record are often church services that call for details to be added to ID3 tags. Being unable to tag the files is one thing but the also most droid player refuse to equalize any files that are not mp3.
I have been searching on my own for well before I even joined the droid community and its time to let the community help me. Is there a voice recorder with perfect recording quality and records in mp3?
edit: It will not let me post links to those program, guess I am not active enough on the forums.
Have you tried evernote.? It has tags and you can record audio. It sends the notes to the cloud and allows sharing. Records in amr format.

Still an issue
Hi this is still an issue for me with the streak. Does anyone know of a voice recorder that records in mp3 format? Currently I use tape a talk, which records in wav. and the recordings are not the greatest quality.
I use Hertz(records in WAV) on the market and am satisfied with the quality.
I've been using Hi-Q MP3 Recorder and the sound is crystal clear. I recorded some beatboxing and it sounds great!

There are two additional apps for lecture notes. One called videos and another called recording (or something) which is just for audio. If I got the video app would it have the same functionality as the recording app?
Whats the difference?

It seems like the video app lets you record yourself writing and play it back as a video: "It has been designed while having a user at university (or at school) in mind, for instance a lecturer who is using it for producing tutorial videos or for recording her/his lecture while teaching using LectureNotes (by writing on the device and projecting the screen content for the audience) or a student who is using it to prepare tutorial videos for fellow students."
I am using lecturenotes plus the audio app. It records as you write and if you zoom in on text will follow along where you were writing at the time of when things are spoken. It's really nice and I highly recommend it as an addition to LectureNotes.

I meant how is the audio functionality in the video extension different from the audio functionality of the audio extension? Is getting the video the same thing as getting the audio + video?
@gina$zanboti: LectureRecordings records/replays audio together with notebook fokus, LectureVideos is a screencast extension that records display content (i.e. the process of writing) together with audio. A random example of the latter is www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ul_H1F2kaRg. In some sense, the functionality of LectureVideos encloses that of LectureRecordings, as you can also record audio with it.

With the video extension can you record audio without video? IE create a voice memo type of thing.
@gina$zanboti: With LectureVideos, the display content is always recorded, so it is somewhat like recording a voice memo with a video camera; it works, but it is not the purpose of the extension. For voice memos, LectureRecordings is better suited.
Does anyone know if the microphone for the samsung galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition record audio in stereo? I just recorded 2 lectures and when I replay, sound comes from one speaker rather than 2. I didn't have this problem with the old note. I assume its because the microphone is recording mono, is there any way to change microphone settings to stereo?
@jaztech: Are you referring to the speakers of the Note 10.1? Have you checked that other audio sources replay in both speakers?

Hi acadoid,
Both my speakers work for playing regular audio on everything (google play music, samsung's music player, youtube etc... I even downloaded another audio voice recorder to see if the microphone would record in stereo and it did. The mono one speaker audio recording seems to be localized to LectureNotes.
@jaztech: Both LectureRecordings and LectureVideos request recording with two channels, it seems that the Android media recorder ignores that. Do you have the possibility to test an external stereo microphone?

No unfortunately I don't have one.
Hi fellows,
I'm searching for a solution to record my road trips.
Currently I use lgCamera or Moto X camera, but I would like to record my tracks and speed to show after on TV or smartphone.
Anyone know any app that does it? Make movie and record the gps coordinates and car's speed.
I already thought of writing a log file (for each 3 seconds) the coordinates and speed that the GPS indicates at the moment, and when to show on TV, play the video with a subtitle file (.str) where have this information synced to the recording. That is, when you start shooting, start recording this text log together.

Hi there,
when I tried to screen recording Xvast App
I got a black screen, is there any way to overcome this?

Hi, I was facing the same issue, however, after a long time of researching on the internet I come up with the solution. To tackle this issue, you need to use an online screen recording website like Veed.io (NOT RECOMMENDED) or ScreenApp.io (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED). Visit the second one on Xvast, ScreenApp.io, as it can record screen & audio (both internally & externally) with the option to choose (this unique feature makes it more good & reliable than the Veed.io offers). After you've done recording, the video will be in (.WEBM) the format which you can convert into mp4 or any other desired format using the VLC media player (i won't recommend any other video conversion software as they take a very lot of time & the output size is ridiculously large as compared to the original one).
If you face any problem regarding it, feel free to hit me up
Can't record as well even using the online recorder you mentioned.
