Hello, I forgot to return to the fact that the DAC Digital to Audio Converter is not the best. So whatever bit rate and depth is used, or whatever microphone is used the recording will suffer. As you can appreciate, phone manufacturers have only just starting to focus on audio because there was a demand to improve video and camera functionality in the past. I am really seeking something more professional than a phone’s DAC.
