Anyone tried to record sound in stereo with Galaxy A6+ ? On my previous Android, Note 4, I used to use Hi-Q to record sounds of nature (birds) and other life sounds. Always in stereo 44kh.
But now, even though Hi-Q says I'm recording in stereo, the recorded sound is mono. I've tried all options, and many recording apps, and the result is always monophonic recording. The sound quality is very good, no doubt about it, but it's not stereo.
I know it needs 2 mics to have stereo recording, but as far as I know, Galaxy phones like A6+ has them. So something 's not clear here.
Any help appreciated.

Hi guys,
can anybody help me find a way to reduce the audio input gain?
I was trying to use my SGS II to record some live concerts and rehearsals of my band and all I got was HORRIBLE distortion.
I tried to google my problem but no success yet.
Please help!
Up!
I didn't mentioned that I am talking about the audio quality of video recording and I am running on the original ROM that came with the phone.
Nothing? Anybody?
As of now I don't know of any software solution to lower the mic gain when recording video.
However, I've heard that using the headset that came with your phone (earbuds with mic attached) while recording video should use the mic on the headset, which will result in better audio (albeit in mono instead of in stereo, but that's a small sacrifice) in the video recording. I've not tried it personally, but you could try that out.

It doesn't have to be the headset that came with the phone, I think any headset which you can use the mic in calls should work.
My Zagg Smartbuds worked fine with this method.
I made the usual mistake of trying to record video at a (rock) concert last night on the S2 and the sound was appalling - levels way too high and distorted beyond belief. This happens every time so I really should know better.
Does anyone have any handy hints for getting half-decent sound from concert video recordings, or is it basically a waste of time on this device?
As far as I know, no-one has managed to lower the microphone volume. Just do yourself and everyone around you a favour and leave the phone at home and enjoy the concert.
I agree with oinky, but if you're on a stock based ROM, then an option for you is to bring along a headset that has a mic and plug it in while recording. Gain using the headset mic is acceptable, but it will then only record in mono.

SGS2S have build-in stereo mic??
AFAIK SGS2S record mono despite internal or headset external mic so tip with headset mic can actually be a proper solution.

Yes. Uses both mics (regular voice mic + NR mic) for stereo audio recording while recording video.
Hi guys, did you notice the audio in the video recording of our Galaxy S3 having louder volume at the left side if you use a headset?
And also I can hear a small cracking sound at the right side during the video playback (Of the recorded video).
I tried the voice recording and there's no cracking sound at all. Is this an issue in the video recorder of our device?
TIA :laugh:
Using an app called tape recorder I recorded some audio using the s2 and the s3. The results showed the quality of the mics were the same. The ****ty audio quality is only produced when recording video. this proves the hardware is ok. Just needs sorting in the app itself.
Just hope samsung have it on their list of things to fix.
When recording a song yesterday, my song ideas came out choppy.I was recording strictly wav audio and It almost sounded like there was a noise gate on the phone. After a while of digging through options, I found an option in Call settings> Additional Settings > noise reduction. When this option is selected, the phone turns on a noise gate that makes audio recordings sound terrible; However, when this option is turned off, Audio recordings sound great!! Unfortunately, this doesn't affect the audio quality when recording video, because most wav audio programs only use one microphone. So, I'm wondering....Seeing as how this phone records camcorder audio in stereo( one mic at the top and one at the bottom ), is it possible that these microphones are out of phase and thats why there is no bass in video recording? I'm assuming that the polarity on the top microphone is reversed to eliminate background noise during calls. Also, maybe there is a camcorder program where you can select which microphone to use. When I connected my Galaxy headphones( with the included Mic) the audio was redirected from the the two microphone to the headset microphone. Im thinking of making a TRRS to TRS adapter, which will connect only the microphone and see if that resolves the issue. I understand that I could just add an equalizer to the audio from video in iMovie, but I really enjoy experimenting with this problem. Furthermore, has anybody tried making an XLR to TRRS cable? I used one on my Samsung Vibrant years ago and it sounded great! any suggestions would be great!!! (To get to call settings, you have to click on the phone app, then left button to access)
Hello, I've got my Poco, coming from Samsung Note 5. Have been loving many aspects, but I have tried audio recording (with Recforge app) and the audio is very distorted and with a lot of treble. Auto gain is not working also, apparently.
Any way to tune recording quality? Thanks
