Hello,
Is there an app that lets u record incoming / outgoing conversations or use as a recorder in general? It can be activated manually and mapped to a key or something?
Yes before you tell me to search I got this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=421652 but this doesnt really help. I found "Resco Audio Recorder" but doesn't look all that good (http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/audiorecorder/default.asp), does anyone have recommendations?
Freeware is best but if its really good, i gues I can pay for it.
thanks

I'm not sure why you thought the Resco Audio Recorder "doesn't look all that good." I use it on my 8525 (still waiting for the Fuze) with very good results. It has a lot of capabilities -- you can record fairly high fidelity to MP3, for instance, or get really compact voice recordings using the Speex format (there are other supported formats, too); it's got built-in digital signal processing for automatic volume control and noise reduction; voice-activated recording; smart display-blanking to save battery; bookmarks in recordings; etc., etc. It's a really nice, capable application, and it's hard to imagine what else one might want or need in a recorder.

thanks for that, in the thread I posted above, the ppl here said that it cannot record both sides of the converations in a call... can you confirm that it does and it can also start automatically or if u want with a press of a button? thanks for helping out.
nothing can record both sides of the conversation on touch pro (for now atleast)
resco audio recorder works well on my atom exec

The Resco recorder does record both sides of a conversation, but only on phones that make the incoming side available; it's my understanding from the responses in that thread (which I initiated, BTW) that the Touch Pro is not one of those phones. (I'll be checking that out for myself very shortly after I get my Fuze, hopefully within the next week.) I don't think that's any different from any other recorder software that's available.
It can be set up to record conversations automatically or at the press of a button (although I'm not sure how well that will work with the Touch Pro, as buttons are in very short supply), and it will record both sides of the conversation if you are using the speakerphone. And for all other uses (lectures, concerts, dictation, etc.) it's very nice. It's just a hardware limitation, not a software problem, that prevents use of the recorder for capturing the incoming side of normal phone conversations.
thanks friend... I'll do more research before I act... if by that time u have tested it out, do let me know. thanks v much~! u've been a super help.
Well, if you use the speaker phone the integrated note function can take audio recordings as well though the sound is not very good. It also works on normal phone calls, but the remote side is at very low volume.

I downloaded the trial for "Audio Notes".
Working great so far. Records both ends of the conversation on both incoming and outgoing calls. Also takes memos through either mouthpiece or speakerphone.
You can tell it what quality you want to record and where to record to.
It also labels the recording according to the name of the person you talked to.
Good stuff.
This is Vito AudioNotes you are referring to? If so, that's great to hear; it's a bit bare-bones compared to Resco, but it's inexpensive. If both-sides recording works with Vito, that means it probably would with Resco, too, but if not, I'm willing to pay for both use Vito for phone recording and Resco for everything else. Thanks for the info!

Just to clearify, does it work on "the usual conversations" I mean, the normal way u talk on the phone, NOT speakerphone?
Cause we all know there's quiet a few sw that works in speakerphone mode and that simply doesn't cut it.
It MUST work when u are using it "normally"
Yeah. It's vito audio notes 1.32
It works with normal (non speaker phone) phone calls.
Actually, I'm not sure if it works with speakerphone too.. I haven't tried that yet. Will do that in a bit to make sure.
What's better about Resco? *edit: nevermind. I just looked at the screenshots of resco audio recorder. It does look nicer. Has more features too... But honestly... the vito program is really nice, and simple to use.
By the way. I'm using the Sprint Touch Pro... so I can't say for sure whether or not this prog works with the other versions. Either way, there's a free trial you can use... so no harm in trying it out first.
last i heard, audionotes didnt work...

Maybe not for some... But my Sprint model Touch Pro works perfectly...
Abd again, there's a free trial of it... so nothing's lost if it doesn't work for you.
I don't work for the company either, so I'm definitely not trying to sell
anyone. I really don't care actually. Just thought I'd post up how well the program
is working for me so far.

Yeah, same here, thx for the tip!
BTW, just a quick Q: I doesn't have that annoying "beep" every now and then? So the person at the other end can here that you're recording?
I also have a Sprint Touch Pro and after reading this thread, I downloaded a trial of Vito 1.32 to give this a try.
Just as background, I'm a former Treo user (Palm OS) and the hardware supported recording of both sides of a phone conversation in very clear audio. This was most evident when listening to recordings (on a headset), one side of the conversation is heard in the left ear and the other in the right ear.
Now as for Vito on the Sprint Touch Pro, here's what I've observed:
When using the the phone normally (i.e. holding the device to your ear), the software does record both sides of the conversation. It does so in a manner that plays both sides of the conversation back in the left ear (when wearing headphones). My opinion is that the loudness of the earpiece allows this software to record the "other end" of the call in a manner similar to the "speakerphone method". The quality of the "other end" of the conversation is significantly lower than my end of the conversation. So it would seem that the hardware on the Touch Pro doesn't completely support this. Another indicator of this is that it only records my end of the conversation when I record a call using the included HTC headset.
So the verdict is that it does work, but I still think there's a hardware obstacle. I'm a headset kinda guy, so I guess I'm out of luck. Hope this helps.
That's not good.
I'll probably be getting a stereo bt headset soon, so that's going to be a problem.
Too bad there's no individual (in/out) volume control...

Thx for your input m8!
So I suppose it won't work with a bluetooth headset neither.
Anyway, I'm glad it works without(?) beeps in the normal mode, in that case you'll have the time to snap off the headset if you see that the incomming call is from that person you'd like to record.
well phonecalls come through in mono, so i cant imagine it working through both speakers
Does anyone know what the different parameters in the columns adjust in the AudioPara_.csv file? Seems like this file, if tweaked properly can fix several sound issues. Some seem fairly obvious but others not.
There also seems to be some kind of compression/limiting going on, loud noises in the receiver will bring volume too far down and then I can barely hear the other person. HTC is probably protecting the tiny speakers, but it seems it's not adjusted properly. Sometimes even first outgoing ring is nice and loud, but the next is soft. Go figure!
This is also true for the outgoing mic. I have had some people say it's too loud from my phone. Sometimes I can even hear my own background noise loud through my earpiece, similar to the mic sensitivity thread. If I talk fairly loud then sometimes the overall volume drops, including my receiver, regardless of the microphone AGC setting.
With recording there seems to be some control from the AGC enable switch setting, but even when it's turned off, there is some sort of limiting. I've tried a few different audio programs to record and they respond similar. The gain controls offered in these programs don't seem to do much. Recording music easily clips the sound! The AudioPara file has controls for CE_REC_INC_MIC and CE_REC_EXT_MIC, which seem like this might control some of this. Again there are many columns of adjustments.
Seems like this file can fix a lot, but it would be beneficial to have a better understanding before blindly trying this and that as many have. Does anyone know where to get replacement speakers if we blow one from the wrong settings? Please share any knowledge you have about these settings and suggestions of where to find out more. It seems like more than just gain and volume that needs adjustment.
Thanks!
Dear all,
I did the most silly thing I've ever done in my life with trying to reset my transformer by setting a pin in the... microphone entry. I've had to many wmobile phones and I hadn't read the manual.
Hopefully I didn't push like a donkey and the microphone is still working.
But I'm quite a paranoid and I'd like to check if my microphone has been damaged because now that I'm paying attention to its quality, I noticed that the sss sounds look more like "sh" sounds.
Could someone please kindly upload a microphone sample with some speaking with some "sss" in order for me to compare?
Thank you!
Regards
Excalius
Boy,
nobody wants to take 30 secs to help? I posted here the sound sample I take when speaking really low.
I just cant send you the file because I'm too new on this website.
just hit filedropper.com and follow by

Please tell me if you see a similar problem on your device and send a sample from it.
Yours has a kind of background whirring noise to it, don't know if thats a pc fan in the background or the mic broken, but mine isnt like that.
And you also sound very quiet, but you may just be further away from your device than I was from mine when I tested it.
I couldnt find where the default recording app saved the files so I used an app called PCM recorder to record it at 48000Hz. Whatever app you used to record your clip, created it in a very poor audio quality. It has a kind of 'underwater' sound quality, which is common with low bitrate recordings.
Oh and you'll have to take my word for it as I'm not posting an audio clip.
Ok thank you.
And there,

do you still hear an anormal buzzing sound? You really can't send me a recording without speaking just to hear your sound?
And the shh are present with you too?
Thanks

Hey, I just installed Ardat v1.7b2 kernel and the Voodoo control app and I'm wondering what's the best configuration to record a concert, I suppose that i should chose the loud environment recording preset, but should I activate another option?
I make this question because I just have recorded different videos in my bedroom with loud music and different recording presets and I couldn't notice any change. So maybe I did something wrong or I'm not configuring it correctly, because I'm a complete noob.
Thanks in advance!

I don't understand any of the stuff either
I just switched everything on and told myself that it sounds better.
I'd like to know the best settings for listening to music in general as well and maybe if someone could somehow post a video about sound quality before and after applying the patch, that would be great.

This is something like the before and after.
Before (a concert I recorded some months ago):
After (in my bedroom with loud music and the microphone just in front of the speaker):
The situation isn't the same, I hope I can go soon to a concert and record some videos.
Hey guys,
I'm curious to see if there's anyone doing audio recording from their GS3.
I'm a musician so when I'm not at home, I often will just pull my phone out to record new ideas.
In the past I've just used Voice Recorder and it seemed to do alright, but I'm not sure if it's the phone or the app's updates
the quality seems pretty terrible lately. (Possibly something going on from running CM10 and the audio recording drivers??)
Anyone have any suggestions for recording? I don't care about recording calls,
Something that can pick up a solid range from a guitar or bass without sounding like crap.
Thanks in advance!!
Try TapeMachine Recorder its awesome!

I also use Voice Recorder - works fine for me. I would be great if you posted back with results from other apps - especially quality comparison.

Personally I use SoundCloud only because if I want to record a new riff and then I wanna hear it later, I can just go on my computer browser (soundcloud.com) and access everything I recorded. The other nice thing about using SoundCloud is the REC widget which adds a REC button to your home screen to quickly record new stuff!
Once I tried out Voice Pro I realized nothing else is worth my time. Doesn't stop me from trying other stuff, but nothing else can live up to it.
