So I used to have the samsung A71. And I go to Techno gigs alot and sometimes record a song I like to ID later. The sound quality was very good and bass did not get distorted alot, even when close to the speakers/subs. So I thought it would be the same on my S22 ultra but yesterday I went to a club and the sound is just horrible.. On a phone that costs 3x the amount. The sound is just distorted and bad.
But weirdly enough my instagram story is not distorted (filmed with the instagram camera) Anyone know why this could be?
EDIT: Proof and video reference.

Hey sorry, i've edited the post with links to the video's
Thanks, yes crazy bad, if it's confirmed, no finger above one of the mics ? Even on Instagram it's not really good, you have Snapdragon or Exynos ?
I've got multiple video's so no finger on the microphone. I use the Spigen Thin fit case.
I live in Belgium so I got Exynos. Model number is SM-S908B/DS
In 2 weeks i'll go to the same club again. I'll try some 3rd party camera apps like Open camera and Gcam.
Honestly in the first video the sound started to open up and get better at the 10 second mark right before the video ends. Maybe it was just a matter of where you were positioned at..

No sounds like the music stop the bass and it became better. Probably the fingers according to me, well I hope so.

That's just when the bass stopped, there's speakers left, right and in front of me, so either where I aim the camera the sound will always be the same
5 more video's of yesterday, I think it may be software related, cuz the instagram one isnt half that bad. with the same microphones

Try to use a sound recorder app and see if it will make any difference.

Good idea, i'll try that
Yup, I believe you. It's pretty bad.... Especially when the bass hits it becomes very distorted..
You're holding it wrong!
Seriously, stop recording video holding the phone vertically!
Ugh!
Turn off audio zoom.

I don't think keeping my phone horizontally will have effect on the microphone quality.
And if you mean 'zoom in mic' I disabled this

No it doesn't affect mic quality but it makes videos unwatchable to most!
On a serious note to address overloading audio or AGC on very loud inputs this is bad as I haven't seen this for many generations of Samsung devices!
Try Pro Mode (video) where you have control over audio inputs, for example.

I understand but these video's are usually only for instagram (so has to be vertical) or to find a track ID so doesnt matter how it looks, only how it sound haha
I usually film horizontal when I want to show it
Like this: https://photos.app.goo.gl/H7eCkgJL6vrnFBQG9
FYI these video's above are filmed with Oneplus 7 pro. and the quality is pretty okay. Might return to oneplus if that's still the case.
And for the pro mode, i'll add it to the list of things to try in 2 weeks. Thanks
So guys, I'm getting horrible mic quality under water.

original question:
---------------------------
Anyone used the Z3 at a gig yet?
My wife has the Z1C and she went to a gig a few weeks ago, when she got home she was devistated as the videos she took sounded awful, everything was distorted/clipped
Does the Z3 improve on this?
cheers

The Z3 does have various recording modes (for loud environments, normal environments, and another one). Haven't had the possibility to test it yet, but hope it helps indeed. Common problem with many phones including the Z1, Galaxy series, LG G2 (Lumia 920/930, HTC One and iPhone are exceptions).
If there is a proper way to test it without going to a concert I'd give it a try but living in a flat I can't really turn up the volume that loud

Standard is auto yeah, you can change it in the general settings. Settings -> sound settings -> microphone sensitivity.
So not in the camera app...
I tested it in auto mode recording one of my drum students playing along to loud music & it was absolutely on par with my htc one m7 & lumia 925. Stereo recording & good mics DO indeed make a difference!
Brilliant, thanks
Awesome, having a concert on the 27th so I'll be sure to give it a try there as well...
OK, just got back from seeing Bryan Adams at the Leeds Arena last night, I was on the 4th row so it was a good test for the camera
here's what I found:
there's slight clipping in the audio, however, after running it through Adobe Premiere, I found out that it's only in the right channel, the left is a brilliant recording so I removed the right and made it mono, turns out this mic on the camera is brilliant for audio at a concert, if you are happy to remove one of the channels
HOWEVER
the video is truly awful, it never focused (he had spotlights on him all the time so was well lit), tried 1080p & 4k, both were terrible, luckily I had a QX30 with me so I tried that for 30 seconds and that was fine so I have a little bit of video that's OK. Touching the screen to focus did nothing.
Conclusion: brilliant audio totally let down by the video making it unwatchable
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceVN98kllNo
Hmmm, audio isn't too bad indeed (not great, but so much better compared to Z1 for example) but sucky about the focus issue... Gonna check it out myself as well. Going to a concert tomorrow so I'll see if I can shoot something there as well...
Thanks for the update!
Here's a clip I recorded last night with the Audio Recorder app.
That focusing prob def sucks. What were your settings for focus mode & metering?

WB Auto, EV 0
that's all I can change in 4K
In 1080p, try center metering & different focal settings - like object tracking, etc... Maybe you'll have better results? 4k is rather restricting re: settings.

This is a video I recorded last week at a metal show. Microphone sensitivity set at the lowest. Please don't mind the resolution, I uploaded it straight from my phone.

I recorded it at 1080, automatic everything. I just set the microphone sensitivity at the lowest before I went and it is a good thing that I did because it was LOUD.
I have another video from the back of the venue. I am uploading it right now to share. The sound is even better but with the first one I was about 5 meters from the PA. Stay tuned!
Edit: The second video is here. Enjoy!

Cheers! Proper sound indeed, focus is still a bit off... Hard to test though (and you also don't want to be busy messing with your camera too much, you just want to enjoy of course )
Thanks, guys! About the focus: the light tech loooved using the blinders and flashing all the things (insert appropriate meme) so I am actually amazed at the focus there is. ☺
But as you said too, I was busier with drinking wine with my friends and headbanging than fiddling with the camera. ?
But folkmetal is an awesome test imo. Loud, lots of low and plenty of details in the mid and high.
I film and record a lot of music and I'm very pleased with my choice of phone!
Your friends are never going to believe what you did. The only way to prove it to them is with that video you took. Rate this thread to express how videos shot on the Huawei Nexus 6P come out. A higher rating indicates that videos are smooth (and not choppy) and that auto-focus works very well, and that the camera adjusts quickly to different lighting conditions while recording.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Crisp, but lack of OIS makes for really choppy videos if you don't have a steady hand. The EIS helps a little but not much
The video image quality is great however, the lack of OIS really shows and audio quality when recording heavy bass is like nails to a chalkboard. Unfortunate for those who came from a Nexus 5 will have to endure another year of static bass audio.
The video quality is not bad but i can see same strange lines when i record a video
Does anyone's nexus make a noise when focusing almost like a low clicking? You really need to put your ear up to the camera to hear it, mine makes it and if I watch the video playback loud enough I also hear it.
Well, video quality isn't so bad honestly.
https://youtu.be/UwDMQgeRFeU
There's a cover of a song, and throughout the entire video - you can hear faint and constant clicking noises. The room where it was recorded is dead silent, so I'm not sure where it's coming from but it's annoying!
Video quality is excellent. However shooting at Higher frame rate (120 or 240) there is some pixelation on the screen even though resulting video doesn't show that.
There is one thing, if you are shooting slow motion video and go to review your video and then come back to camera, it defaults back to normal speed back. You have to select slow motion mode again everytime you exit out of camera viewfinder screen.

sounds good but what is that clicking....are you saying you did this recording and you heard nothing of the sort with your human ear while recording it live?
assuming you have a human ear??
Did a test side by side next to a Z3 Compact, camera was MUCH better.
digital stabilization is terrible, ur better off just turning it off. Its just to wobbly and unnatural.
and I get a little bit of white noise on recordings, when recording in quiet areaa.
but I like the recording more then the Note5 that I have as well, note does shoot birhter videos, but softer and less contrast. Especially in lower light where note produces unrealistic images.
Is there any app to view the video frame by frame similar to iPhone?

Am I correct in saying the audio is mono and cannot be recorded in stereo ? It was the same on the nexus 6 also.
disappoint that no 60fps option on stock app
I need to install "Open camera" to record video frame by 60fps

Hi how good is the microphones in the mate 9 do they compare to the v20 or HTC 10?
I recorded via WhatsApp today for 5 minutes, while driving. Phone was on my lap. The pickup was fantastic and even though you can hear the road noise in the background, the vocals were clear and natural.
My HTC One Mate 8 was also pretty good, and that's the only phone of recent memory that I can compare to.
Anyone noticed when video recording in complete silence, there are weird noises? like a buzz or hiss.. weird.. wonder what it is. Its not a big enough problem to affect my OCD though.

Yep. Like a sort of crackling/hissing. Doesn't seem to occur when recording audio only, so I'm thinking it's something in the camera module, like the autofocus or OIS motors.
Apparently the Galaxy S8/8+ will feature a "High AOP Mic that minimizes distortion in noisy environments." (AOP=Acoustic Overload Point). Has anyone seen any videos testing recording in extremely loud environments such as a concert? I've owned the Galaxy S3 and S5 (both were terrible in noisy situations) before switching to the Moto X Pure(which is still pretty bad). Thinking about switching back for the S8 but seems recording in loud areas has not improved much from the S5 to the S7. Curious to know if Sammy has finally squashed the problem since iPhone have always been able to record in loud places and other newer phones like the LG V20 uses 3 AOP mics.
There is a video test on here that happens to be done at a concert.

Thanks for the link. Wish person taking the video was closer so I could get a better idea or if they would have taken a video with the S7 to compare it to but oh well. Not being to record at a concert isn't a deal breaker for me it just sucks when other people can record with an iPhone and it sounds perfect and when I've done it on all my other phones it sounds like crap.
now that the phone has been out does anyone have any videos from concerts this past weekend? Hows the video recorder

let me know if you find something else, this capability is important for me and once it's resolved on S8 i will defiantly buy one.
Hello . I have a problem with my galaxy s22 ultra Snapdragon , the videos I record at rave or shows that have a very strong sound The recording comes out with the horrible sound, totally blown up.
While cell phones( S10+ and S21 Ultra) of friends who recorded videos at the same party, the sound is perfect. I would like to know if this problem is on my cell phone or is the microphone of the s22 ultra that is really bad?
Anyone who has made videos in strong sound like a show? noticed the same problem?
I put a video on youtube that I recorded, all the videos had the same audio.
It's clipping like hell... the mic gain is way too high or the mics themselves can't physically handle that decibel level.
I don't know... I wouldn't expect my N10+ to do much better in the same conditions. Never tested it though.
It's not just the audio, the video is juddery AF!

Cam shake, multiple high contrast targets... normal. An AF lock can avoid that.
Not what I'd consider normal but then again my S21 Ultra is pretty bad in a hailstorm. 13 Pro Max kills it!
This is a well known issue already being discussed in a thread here. I'm assuming it's software related since my U.S t-mobile snapdragon S22 Ultra doesn't exhibit this. Hopefully Samsung will address it in an update in the near future.
