hi,
i came from an iphone4, and the only thing im missing on SGS2 is quality of sound captured on live concerts. Iphone 4 does a pretty good job on this area.
Can we improve the capture of sound, cause records with a lot of distortion. Put him like an iphone4?
tks

Get the "TapeMachine" app and experiment with the 2 different microphones and the gain.
Beyond that, it's mostly a hardware limitation.

It looks like TapeMachine only increases gain and doesn't decrease it
well, tks for the answers.
but im talking about the sound captured with the camera, small clips on video, but if is hardware limitation there's nothing we can do.
EDIT:
i saw that
Anyone tested this on live shows?
Have you tried the Hx Camera Mod? The sound after replacing the camera.apk is much better! But you need root!
Go to the android development forum for gt-i9100.there u gonna find a.post by potatoman for replacing the stock camera app.aftr replacing u get to record videos i at 192 kbps frm d stock 64 kbps and the audio quality of videos is highly increased.though u need root for it.
PS-Am taking it that u wanna increase the sound quality of videos coz who records conerts in audio only format :-D

I'm having the same problem, while filming. The audio is over saturated on loud volumes as the audio input seems way too loud. I wish there was a way to decrease gain.
I wonder if a better audio quality encoding is going to help if the recorded sound is already distorted... it might even make things worse.
Anyway, please let us know.
Virtual Recorder does a quite good job whilst I record my band's rehearsing. We play freaking loud but VR has got a preamp control so it may work well on live gigs as well.
in the market search for VirtualRecorder
Hope this helps.

Whilst my mod does improve audio recording quality, it doesnt really do it with this situation in mind. The gain is left stock, just the encoder settings changed. This means all you'll get in concerts is a higher quality recording, but still distorted because of the gain.
All I can suggest is to try some of the recording apps on the store (I Like VirtualRecorder and Tape Machine, VR has a control but I havent tested at a concert yet) , you are correct when you thought gain control would fix it. The mic on the SGS2 is very small and sensitive, so it distorts lots when recording extreme volumes. Turning the gain down would therefore help.
Good luck with your search, I hope you like and continue to use my cameramod anyway

Hey Potatoman, im using your mode now, and is awsome. Good Work. Lets see on live show this weekend. I will post some videos on youtube after.
Can you tweak the mod with an option to reduce the gain? Or do it automatic like the iphone? Just a though to an update.
Tks
Regrettably the section I modded didnt have anything for gain, and even if it did it would mean when you try to film normal settings with the video camera it would be too quiet. Plus, it's not really feasible to swap out the APK every time you want a different gain, so I dont think my mod method would be suitable even if it was possible.
Who knows though, maybe the distortion was just low quality files, in which case yay I fixed it without trying ^_^'
I go to Dream Theater concert on Sunday, and make a few recordings to test qith the your mod Potatoman.
I will post here the videos after.
Tks for the reply
Thank you Chalger and Potatoman. TapeMachine only increases gain (from 0.3dB to 20dB). VirtualRecorder has an auto gain mode - a preamp auto gain mode - but actually nothing to decrease gain.
Anyway, like Bananaz, I am trying to find a way to get less distortion when using the camera. I am looking forward to hearing about Bananaz' concert... I do hope Potatoman's great cameramod will make things better.
Why don't you try just watching the concert instead of making low quality shaky recordings of it that nobody but yourself wants to see. I can guarantee you that 95%+ of the people standing behind you at the concert while you're recording want to take your glowing, distracting, irritating square of light and ram it firmly into one of the holes on your body.
Just a suggestion.
Edit: in fact that's a great idea for a camera mod. A button that allows you to turn off the screen but still record video. I've seen a couple of occasions where someone has grabbed a camera being held up in their face by the inconsiderate idiot in front of them, and then thrown it across the venue, accompanied by cheers from the rest of the crowd. A mod might save someone losing their phone...

Just wondering what you guys think of it? I go to a lot of concerts and music festivals and the video quality on the note is superb. However, the sound from the video is horrible. The one thing that me and my friends all agree upon is the video sound recording on the iphone is better than any phone out there. The note simply cannot handle loud sounds, particularly really loud bass. The sound on the whole video is just off and it sounds like the microphone is in direct wind. Dont get me wrong, I love the note and I am an android fanboy, however I think this is an area which the iphone dominates. What do you guys think about the sound recording quality? Is there anyway to fix this through software? hardware?
never found a problem with audio from video recordings. few weeks ago i was filming a drift event at a local track and sound came out fine with all the loud noises going on.
Speaking of, do you guys have any YouTube links of vids with your note?
I just can't seem to live with out a removable storage, and I have been leaning in the notes direction.
I am just worried about video, and pic quality with the note...I had a 4g galaxy s and the pics were awful.
Sorry if I am hijacking.

the playback of audio recorded with a video is going to bad if you are recording anything with a lot of bass or any high dB sounds that are above the microphones ability to capture. These phones use a microphone thats really just a small speaker, when loud sounds are being emitted and your trying to capture them they can ofter "bottom out" the microphone so that all you hear is loud static distortion or if the bass is really heavy, nothing at all.

I think the video quality is awesome on this phone. I haven't watched them on any external devices though, my opinion is purely off of viewing the videos off the phone.
As far as the drift meet you went to, I'm pretty sure the note can handle the sounds of screeching tires, I am mainly talking about BASS. I understand that almost all devices have a certain limit until the microphone can no longer handle the strong bass. The sound gets distorted, and you can't hear anything else. All I am saying is that somehow the iphone is able to handle strong bass at a concert even when you are standing pretty close to the stage. Anyone else experience the distorted sound on their note?
I have personally experienced this and it must be due to the different build qualities of the microphone. Is it possible to attach an external microphone via the headphone jack and use that to record video sound rather than using the one built into the phone? that would make a huge difference IMO

http://youtu.be/N06GsbGyh28 shot this 2 weeks ago, first time messing with video on the phone, i was impressed by the clarity of both picture and sound, just need a dern zoom feature while filming
also not sure why your expecting amazing quality sound from recording a live performance, no matter what phone if ur close to the speakers your not going to get non distorted sound, ive owned every iphone and never heard clear quality sound after going back and watching vids i took at partys and such, i do belive i saw something on engadget the other day about a better quality mic u can plug into the headphones jack
http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/31/irig-mic-cast-hands-on/ well its for idevices but im sure there has to be something similar for android
I was just thinking about this before bed last night. I was looking at some recently shot kareoke videos from my note. The audio quality is absolutely horrendous. Like...disappointing bad.
My atrix was was leaps and bounds better. Was able to handle (and reproduce) bass just fine. Never distorted the audio like the note does. From concerts (rock mind you) to kareoke, anything...I guess its an unfortunate con ill have to live with.

I know exactly what you mean, in terms of capturing sound at, say...a concert. It is overpowered. I've heard that one way to tackle this problem is to put tape, or a finger, over the mic hole when recording.
Here's a vid I took when I saw The Black Keys a cpl months ago. I even wrote in the description that it's a shame the sound is crappy...

I am not expecting amazing sound quality, just good enough so that it doesnt sound like crap. Obviously microphones on phones have their limits, but as I have stated, and as others in this thread have stated, the note is pretty bad at recording sound. My girlfriend has an iphone and all of my friends have iphones, and trust me, the sound recording is much better on it. Still love my Note though, best phone ever!
I seen rammstein and just like the others said.. Very loud sounds makes the audio sound very muffled and hard to hear.. I wonder if I had the the recording volume set halfway. If it would of sounded better?

I can tell you this, its way better than HTCs Video playback. Their sound quality is low.

I found a solution by connecting the ear set of the phone and using it`s mic to rec sound. At levels as high as 110db that i tested (in a consert)
Sound quality was audible enough. So thats my pov on this subject. You should try it.
Why do people keep on ignoring the terrible audio capture? Every video I have seen and heard from the GS3 has terrible audio. It is actually worse than the HTC X in many instances, and that phone has rather subpar audio capture as well. There are many many phones that capture much better audio, from the Xperia S, Motorola Razr, Nokia Lumia, iPhone, Rim Blackberry Bold, and even most of Samsung's own previous and lower tier phones and of course this phone's predecessor, the S2. About the only thing worse is probably most HTC phones, but not by much. Samsung's audio capture quality has dropped big time, into the gutter actually, and every review I've read has ignored this fact. There are occasional mentions of it by other posters, but ultimately the screaming fanboys usually overwhelm the conversation by saying how awesome everything is and to STFU GTFO about it.
I don't think there's anything wrong with my hearing. There's just something wrong with this phone. So why is this issue falling on deaf ears? Pun intended.

I am very much bothered with that awful thin sound.
I don't think it has ANYTHING to do with Voodoo sound.
It has to do with some ****ty Band Pass Filter if you ask me.
It sound like there is no bass, middle, and no high.
Only some mid/high is left. can easily be checked actually.
if you want better audio on recordings, just use the included headset and plug it in before starting the recording.

Well has nothing to do with fan boys I guess. In my case for instance, I actually never use my phone to record audio/ video, so I really do not care about that feature at all. If I need to record video, or take superb pics, I use my Canon D600, and I do not mind the weight.
I do reckon that in the reviews there has been more emphasis on the image quality, rather then the audio quality... However that is something you'll have to confront the actual reviewers with rather then the users that do not use certain features that much or at all.
nobody is bothered by it because soon it will be fixed by developers.

The issue is most prominent when recording someone speak, or some music being played, or some sounds which fill the entire audio spectrum not just some walking noises.

I don't know if noise cancellation is active during video recording, but let me just remember you the size of the SGS III microphone, that is only a few milimeters (and the hole is less than a milimeter wide). Don't expect anything spectacular with such a small piece, it's far from being as large as this : http://www.guitariste.com/share/achat/marchands/woodbrass/neumann-u-87-i-116930.jpg

Oh well. I just made a vid with my note and spoke with my deepest bass voice into the mics, and indeed it is pretty thin here as well, but I don't remember having this problem with SGS2/1, I'll have one of them to try later today.
Not that this issue will prevent me from getting an S3 and enjoying every moment!
---------- Post added at 03:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:35 PM ----------
Actually - I just recorded myself with High Q MP3 Rec (Lite) and there is plenty of bass. So this problem should be resolvable by changing the way audio is recorded or captured. Here is me speaking into the mic : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15924481/recording-20120606-174117.mp3
In my opinion there is so much more bass there. The audio quality obtained when recording video has a great deal of margin to improve.
he meant the audios in videos that are record by sgs3.
as some have noticed it sounds muffled and thin.

the vids they are talking about is the one from gsmarena the on where they compare sgs3 and hox vids of cars on street.
and another vid it was an early hands-on it was also taken on the street where you see a man riding a bicycle then pans to the left to show the road under.
i'm sure some of you have already seen that vid.
the sound from those vids does sound muffled and thin.

yes that was what i thought ever since those gsmarena vids,
that the noise cancellation is set a bit aggressive when recording vids.
Noise cancellation should be disabled when recording video IMHO.
It is good when talking on the phone you want only your voice to go through and clear, but when recording audio as audio, i think there is no need.
Top mic should be left, bottom should be right, and thats it
Just picked up this phone a week ago and I was very sceptical at first. Being a long time Samsung user and a fan of TW I'd thought I couldn't get used to the Sense..
But the phone is still in my hands. Not because of battery life, or screen. But because of the amazing sound out of those tiny speakers. Today I went to a local air show and thought I'd see how the mic's would enjoy some extreme loud scenarios.
As you will here, the One does exceptionally well. I've taken many cell phones to concert events and hockey games that just can't record properly when under anything loud.
This is also by far the loudest I have ever recorded a video before. The video does not do it justice. A F-18 flying that close, I can't describe it. You can feel it in your chest.
Anyways, enjoy!

Hi, I've got also a HTC One and I film often concerts, loud car actions (drift, drag), or air shows (real planes and also gas and jet model planes).
Only my biggest hand cam (Pana X900) can reproduce the sound like it, the others get overdriven.
My main problem is, the videos have a low compression (high bitrate, about 15,5 Mbps), which is not surely needed in each case, and eats the memory..
Do you have any idea or experience, how to lower the compression, wihout changing the HD-resolution?
Or which is the currently most useful video converter, my RiverPast Video Cleaner and BoilSoft converter are unable to make an easy batch conversion.
Thanks in advance!

Honestly, no. I am mainly a photographer, and had my DSLR at the show. I by chance tried a video on the HTC One when the jet made the closest pass. Unfortunately I didn't have the nice cam out to get some close ups.
If your asking how to lower the compression on the video recording for the HTC One itself, you would need a custom ROM and a developer out there. I've seen such things done on my old Note 2 but none for this phone.

The last good concert camera I had was the Motorola Atrix, which clearly recorded sound even at death metal shows.
Let's see how the mic on the Nexus 6p holds up to loud concert music. The low light capabilities. should also help get some good footage.

The Atrix had the best microphones. I recorded a video playing music very loud in my car and it was so clear, viewers thought I was playing it over the video and YouTube flagged the song.
This is a video I shot on my Atrix at Paganfest 2012 in Dallas.
No other phone I have had has come close to being able to record this good. Everyone elses recordings from that show sounded terrible.

Im curious about video performance. Most concerts have led backlights and my previous phones can no make out the pictures on the led board it just shows blured out lights but no details in the pictures.

This is one thing i always research now when buying a phone. my current htc m8 do an excellent job in loud concerts. my old lg g2 was totally crap, that was when i started searching about good mics on phones.

Same....recorded my son in his guitar concert with my G2 and it all sounded like distorted crap (it didnt help the song was LOUD to begin with, but I was hoping it would handle better than it did)
Will try the N6P next time Im at some form of concert.

Not bad at all! No distortion. Looks promising. Thanks for sharing

I took these the night I got the phone. Didn't change a setting on the camera app. Also note that some of the shots are crap, this is no way indicative of the camera as I was drinking pretty heavily that night. Anyhow, some of them are pretty nice given the crazy lighting.

I have honestly yet to see a camera phone even come close to producing noise free pictures in a concert setting, this is up there in terms of quality.

And I have no intention of blowing these up to poster size and printing them off.
Some shots from last night's black metal warfare in New Orleans. Watain and Mayhem.
