Any way to improve the quality of audio recordings? - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since I upgraded to version 4.4.4, I found that the sound quality of my audio recordings has worsened. Until recently, I had version 4.3 and my voice recordings were clear and they had good quality. I have replaced the version 4.3 system file "SoundRecorder.apk", but voice recordings sound just as bad.
Could anyone help me?

Try with Sony Audio Recorder ( search for it in the market).
It's a very good recorder, although it records only in AAC. Give it a try and see if it's rom issue or smth else

Voice Recording

Hi is there any apps out there for topaz that i can use to record long periods of time and has good quality sound? cus i wanna like record myself playin on my violin^^ thx
lol....
I just want it coz I like the sound of my own voice
Resco Audio Recorder v4.x (lastest is 4.6)
Playing the violin... I like the sound of that!
The recorder:
different recording formats and bitrate
gain control, which makes recorded sound as loud as you need.
..........
it doesnt work well on my set
Vito Audio Notes Touch
Vito Audio Notes Touch, Is great for this issue. it also has automatic voice gain control which is ideal to record the lowest voices.
the other thing i like with VAN is it doesn't record silence! so you can turn it on for a long time without hesitation!
My copies version is 1.03

Dev needs help getting Speaker Boost working

I have mixed reviews from Galaxy Note users about my free Speaker Boost app (source code is here). The app is supposed to boost media volume (in the usual way, by using the Equalizer API). Most reviewers say it doesn't work, but one says it works.
I'd like to get to the bottom of this. To that end, I'm posting here. If anybody wants to try it (heeding all the warnings; if you use Speaker Boost at too loud a setting, you can bust a speaker--three or four reviews, for other devices, testify to this; my feeling is that it's safer for voice than music), I would appreciate reports.
If it works for some but not all people, maybe we can try to figure out what the differences are. If it works for nobody, I have another idea how to get it working, but I'll need help from users.
Working for me, Criskelo v8 & Speedmod Kernel 3-6 just incase it matters.
Is there anybody it doesn't work for?
It does not work on the Stock Music Player since it has its own equalizer presets but works on other players on ICS and I assume it will do the same on Gingerbread. The increase in sound is not that loud but this little boost is definitely nice.
Most sound boosting apps do not work on the stock music player. You should probably mention it on the description to avoid getting bad reviews.

Hey, you're right. On my Epic 4G Touch with 2.3.6, it also doesn't work in the stock music player (well, actually, I don't use Speaker Boost myself, but instead I use Earpiece, which has some additional functions, but it does the audio boost the same way). I've never used the stock music player before, actually (I never listen to music; I use sound boost for movies and audiobooks). Thanks for the hint that the stock music player's equalizer is overriding this. I think that at on some devices I can override the stock music player's equalizer by grabbing the session ID of the music player audio session from the log, and attaching an equalizer to it with higher priority than the music player's equalizer. I will experiment with that when I have some time.

Sound Recording App?

There are plenty of voice recording apps and a few apps that seem to be able to record phone calls. What I am looking for, though, is an app that will record whatever audio you're playing on your phone without recording your own voice or whatever. Like if I'm playing a radio app, is there a way to record that with a specific app? I know some radio apps have that feature built in, but I'm just trying to record any audio into an mp3 or something through an app. Having a hard time finding this specific type of app.
Here are some apps that I think which can help you:
Voice Memos
Voice Recorder
Audio Recorder
Just Press Record
iTalk Recorder Premium

The post that you answered is from 7 years ago, your reply isn't going to help them now.

How to stream phone's internal audio to the recording of an app?

How could I stream sound (from an app) to act as if it's the recorded sound (on another app on the same phone)? I'm looking for switching the stream of the microphone from the actual hardware microphone to the internal sound of the phone.
Purpose:
I listen to podcasts (I use Pocket Casts). Sometimes there are spoken words I can't recognise. I need to have a voice recognition app (I use SpeechNotes) listen to the sound played from Pocket Casts so that I can know what were the words I missed.
More Info:
Android version: 6.0.1 (rooted with xposed installed).
Device: Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Exynox (N910c)
If it is impossible to stream audio of podcasts app to the voice recognition app directly, perhaps you may stream it to an audio file, and then manage to feed the voice recognition app with that audio file. Good luck to you.

Problem with microphone quality in 3rd party apps

Hi there.
When I'm recording audio or video in apps like whatsapp, telegram or snapchat, the sound is rumbled and distorted. This mainly happens when there is loud music playing with a lot of bass. However, the microphone quality in the default camera app sounds fine.
Why is this? It looks like these apps use the wrong microphone or something. Maybe this is a bug in EMUI?
Hope someone could help me. I've attached an example video of the sound quality when filming with whatsapp. (Click link, I can't upload videos to this site)
-- Ugh. I can't embed a link for some reason.

Disable Google app and remove it from mic permissions.
