thanks Jumper:)
exactly what I was looking for
Looking for for what, I'm curious!
Gavinski:
32 bit ( so no clipping ), 48khz, stereo recording (so field recording)
using just my phone in the pocket.
I know that the iPhone mics are far from good
but its quite handy to record at decent quality
with the device you always have around...
Didn't notice the 32 bit, quite handy! Cheers
yah.
I was pleasantly surprised too
Huh, screen recording is in stereo isn’t it, but is it only 16/24bit? So the built in mics on device and apple headphone mics only record in mono?
So it enhances the quality of the built in mics? Does it do that for headphone mics? Lavalier‘s?
I was hoping someone could explain the specific benefits of this one? Or use cases? Thanks.
Shure sell an external USB mic to plug to IPhone seems good quality , I saw some composer using it to sample street sounds.
Yeh I don’t understand this either. If I have a mic on my iPad and iPhone, then how can an app improve the quality? Not playing devil’s advocate, genuinely curious…
Does the app claim it improves the quality? I didn't see that in the description
Anyone able to actually offer some technical explanation as to why I might want this over the built-in iPad microphone?
Eh? The name is misleading. It isn't a physical microphone. It uses the built-in iPad microphone(s).
It's just an enhanced 32 bit recording app with the addition of stereo (on compatible devices) and a few on-board FX. The 32 bit format means there will be no clipping in the recorded file.
(I assume there can still be distortion from the mics themselves if you overdrive them though(?). )
One benefit may be that it automatically stores your recordings in a separate folder all it’s own, so if you’re recording a bunch of samples back to back for one specific project, it would be useful not to have to search for them in the files app and add them to a folder yourself. May also help with recording and uploading batches of samples into an app like Noises or Pulse, etc.
As for the recordings themselves, I haven’t done an A/B to see if the quality is really different but I can do that tonight if anyone is curious.
AudioShare can do all that as well, plus has editing tools right at hand.
I don't see how it can enhance the quality other than enabling stereo recording on compatible devices and preventing clipping in the saved file. A microphone is a microphone and the hardware A/D conversion is what it is regardless of what captures and saves the audio.
Does the iPhone ADC support 32 bit, I wonder if those Sennheiser binaural ones would also benefit from this…
As far as I can work out, though I may be wrong, the Apogee interface for the Sennheiser binaural mic headphones isn’t capable of outputting 32 bit. Please let me know if this is wrong though.
Hello everyone,
I am the developer.
I only made this for selecting input with Cubasis.
I added the recording function as an extra feature, which was not originally intended to be created.
I don't know its sound quality. I didn't implement any quality enhancer. The app just record.
But normally the device does "Voice Process".
In the next version, you can change the processing mode to "Default", "Voice Chat", and "Measurement".
The voice processing is turned off in the measurement mode but you cannot choose stereo in that mode.
Just in case some people are unaware, it should be noted that certain iPhone/iPad models have built-in microphones that support stereo.
However, there are only a few apps that are compatible with it.
The microphone on the iPhone is positioned vertically, so by using it in landscape orientation, you can experience a greater sense of stereo sound.
Its the internal sampling rate that is 32bit float so. hardware also can be 32 bit. Not float because if a mic capsule clips it clips. Gain staging from hardware in is still a must.
the reason why 32bit float daws are amazing: lets say you have 5 effects on an insert 2 of them are the built in daws and 3 are 3rd party devs. every insert is bassically your audio going "in and out of the daw" as with a real console patch. So we know the daws built in effects are not degrgading you audio during each in:out. however you never know what is going on with some 3rd party devs plugins. it might sound cool. but the aliasing or truncation might be terrible. the daw bassically passes on the audio and recieves it back with each handoff and what happens during this time is unknown.
And trust me im a sucker for kitchy 3rd party plugins but really its at the integrity of the dev to be upfront. This is why I dont understand when i see people talking trash about a daws built in fx. Yes there usually not the most inpspirational of guis but at the end of the day its going to pass your audio cleanly or as dirty as it claims
Cheers!
Looks like the point of this app is to
Most apps don't support both.
No I agree I was just playing devils advocate.
Hey @RyoutaKira Love your apps! Thanks for the info. Cheers!

I just did a test with this, Ferrite, and my little Roland R-07 recorder.
Stereo Microphone was pretty much equal to the dedicated recorder. They are slightly different, but not by enough to make me use the fiddly hardware over an app.
The UI of Stereo Microphone could be a bit less basic, but it sounds fantastic. Will be using this to record samples from now on.
Yeah I can see it being my go-to for field recordings and samples. Especially since they automatically route to its own folder which makes it super easy to keep up with them. Just wish you had options for the effects on the main screen.
I’m also confused about the layout of the stereo mics, and which ones to choose for best quality.
@RyoutaKira could you tell us anything about that?
