I am a pro location sound recordist working in video & film.
Things are getting smaller and lighter, so I'm looking for news ways to do things.
One of them would be to use a Smartphone with Android as a high quality audio recorder.
Let's forget about the 1/8" audio input, because its quality is very poor, no matter what you feed into it.
Input has to be via the micro-USB interface, and you also need an Android program that will control level setting, VU levels, filtering, etc.
I looked into the web, and found very little. The is a unit, but it's quite expensive and I'm not sure about the quality.
Some people are using portable recorders, like Zoom, as such interface. Which is a more affordable way to solve it.
You need an USB output you can use.
Well, I wonder if someone here has tried anything of the kind and what were the results.
