  • In this tutorial I show you how to record audio on your iphone using the Voice memo's app.
    It's not all that obvious where the app is so I show you how to find it and how to record edit and save down your audio recordings.
    This app is ideal for many different types of audio from voice over, narration, meetings and conferences, dictation and even music at a live event.
    This tutorial works on any recent iphone including iphone 6, iphone 7, iphone 8 iphone XS and iphone XR.......

    Enjoy the video straightforward. You’re laid-back And confident personality it was Easy to learn from. Sadly I’m not even sure where the microphone on my phone It is but figuring it will work better out of my OtterBox are removing it for my first try. Love the hoodie!

      @Touchtechnologyreview  2 роки тому +1

      Great, thanks so much. The mic is at the bottom of the phone and is the one that will be used when recording audio into the Voice Memos app. There is also a small mic on the back camera I believe in most new iPhones when recording videos using the new camera array. I almost forgot about that hoodie. Might dig it out for a new video. I quite like it too.

      @Touchtechnologyreview  4 роки тому +2

      There are no built in audio filters in the voice memo app. However you can download garage band if you haven't go it already and load up the audio file or even use it to record audio instead of the voice memo app. Then Add a noise gate filter and adjust the slider to reduce the noise in the recording.

    • @Touchtechnologyreview
      @Touchtechnologyreview  4 роки тому

      I don't think you can change the orientation of the display so the only thing I can suggest it to use apple headphones, wired or wireless to record and that way you can position it any way you like and get the same audio.

    • @Touchtechnologyreview
      @Touchtechnologyreview  3 роки тому

      It's vey hard to get rid of echo after recorded. The echo comes from the room acoustics so the only way to reduce it is to speak closer to the microphone or go into a smaller room. There are some filters you can use on desktop software but none that I have found that actually work on mobile apps. I did a video explaining it all which you can see here if you are interested: ua-cam.com/video/KRwvUM2JxuU/v-deo.html

I was thinking I could find some kind of child toy, and then play it live, using your video idea. But I was hoping for some kind of phone or ipad app that would allow playing notes on the app from say piano keys and record at the same time in the app. Seems like a simple idea, but not finding anything obvious like ths.

When you are recording your voice which mic do you use? there are 3 mics on the iphone 11 and is it better to turn recording stereo sound off in camera setting for voice recording? So the voice is more focus on one mic? If so which mic would be? the one at bottom ? the one near front camera? the one on back?
    or just leave it stereo sound on? lol thanks

    • @Touchtechnologyreview

      I am using the XR and I am pretty sure it uses the bottom microphone by default I think it would be the same with the 11. As for the stereo option I am not sure it would have an effect on the audio input being used on this app. You could try toggling on and off to see if you notice a difference but not sure it will.

    Thank you. I got the app for voice memo but I need to make the recording in to an MP3 file. My project is to record my voice get it on MP3 and then put it in a sound holder ( like with build a bear) and put it in a stuffed animal. So another question. If I record my voice and take the file and share with an email to my computer, how do I make it an MP3 to get the sound into the Multi file recordable sound chip. I have links to help me get it on the chip. Just need the previous help. Please help...

      You can convert it to MP3 format using the Apple music app on your desktop computer if you you have an Apple computer that is. To do so you need to clip on the top menu of the music app, click on preferences and go to the Files folder. Click on import settings and change it from the default which will be AAC encoder to MP3. Then import the file you recorded out of your iphone into Apple music and it will be converted to MP3. To get it back out of Apple music as and MP3 file you can use just drag it from the app to the desktop.
