So I've been to a few concerts where I tried to record some video with my S3, and the video quality is amazing, but the audio is absolutely TERRIBLE. I've tested recording on the ICS version of TouchWiz that first came with the phone, and also just recently with Task's AOKP running 4.2.2.
A link to my video if you want to see what its like:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/y7j6dp3gm5jrl9o/2013-02-22 22.59.07.mp4
My friend was recording with his SII right beside me his audio is actually bearable. Distorted a bit, sure, but not even close to what mine is like... At least in his I can easily make out the song :\
Anyone know if there is a fix to this issue yet?
Bump. Went to Sensation White and all I got was bass-inundated video like link above. Would really like a solution to this. Perhaps a third party video app like lgcamera would work?
P.s what concert was that in your video?
Same here. Just went to the Marilyn Manson concert and I can't hear a single thing! Must be an S3 thing lol

Would love for someone to be able to implement this fix either into an app or a kernel possibly. I can't stand not being able to record live music or really even anything with loud ambient noise/bass/variable sounds. The Video is pristine, the audio makes it completely unusable for anything.
I'd be willing to start a bounty for this.
I have the some problem, recording audio is useless right now!
Anyone? I need this also
if anyone knows of a way to do this, it would be awesome!

I was reading the s2 forum on this found a app called Hi-q that has a mic gain control, however its just a audio recording app. Wish there was a camcorder app that has the same function.
bump
has anything come up in the past months to improve this ? I just went to a gig yesterday and came back home with great video with farting sound
saw something about GNex Toolkit having some mods for sound but I think it only runs on Windows ? (it's an .exe file). However if it's a mod I guess the specific mod can be extracted and installed on the phone using adb or whatever..
bump again...this must be annoying a lot more people
bump, still need this
Me too.
Would be nice...
Glad to find this one - Sad that there is not really a simple solution yet... bump
i just cover the mic with my finger while recording in loud environments it works for me xD
Hey there guys, I wanted to ask a question about video recording.
I'm going to a show in 2 weeks & I want to record some bands. I've recorded a few shows in the past & the picture quality is awesome. The audio, however, is not. It sounds too..crispy & distorted. One day, I borrowed my brother's iPod touch & recorded with it. Although the picture isn't that great, the audio is much more clean than with the Epic.
I've messed with the Voodoo recording presets & I honestly can't even tell the difference between the 3 options.
I have noticed that recording ANY kind of audio with the Epic picks up TONS of background noise (white noise) in quiet environments. I could use other things to record, but since I have the Epic (with the 32gb microSD, it beats the iPod by a mile,) I might as well put it to use.
So I was wondering, what tips would you guys have when it comes to recording in loud environments?

hi everyone
here's a post that I have been looking for but I've never found:
I'm on CM 7 which I love so much right now,
but I miss shooting nice videos like I used to do with the Stock rom
so here's a couple of video I found on my hard disk
(please forget about what I was filming (a drunk woman that weakes me up almost each day with her nice growls or spits))
this first one was shoot within cm 7
http://youtu.be/yISvYhldmxI
and you can hear that the audio quality is not really great picture is fine
also the format of the video is a little unsual, and I can't playback them on mac
this second one (same subject) was made on stock rom and you can really tell
how the audio quality is much better (the high end is much more precise)
http://youtu.be/dXUy3iYtmDg
so my question is..
did anyone else noticed this? and do you guys know of any app or fix or cm setting or whatever that might fix this?
Make the videos available for mobile please(youtube)

To those of you who have the Note 2 in your hands already, I'm curious what your thoughts are on the mic quality. When recording video, how is the audio? Specifically, imagine recording vid of a live band in a club room.... Is it as bad as previous Samsung mics? Does the Note 2 happen to have built in mic sensitivity settings? Or does it look like it'll require another root/voodoo type setup.
Thanks
Nobody recorded video this weekend?

Bump.
I haven't been anywhere with live/loud music to record (and I imagine others haven't either, hence the lack of responses) but in general usage it seems a little loud so I'm not sure how well it will do with loud music.
For example here's a video I took recently http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDb9mE5cpNY (friend gets a bit loud at 1:50)
However I'm not sure if this is a result of the volume mod in this thread or not as I haven't recorded any videos without it.
Ok thanks,
Seems like a very sensitive mic in this video. I was hoping stock would offer more settings for mic control by now. A little surprised this thread isn't getting much traffic.
Voodoo sound is the perfect fix for my current dev. I guess I'll see if that is or will be an option for note2
Here's another video playing music on my really old, ****ty speakers at max volume: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXGOhIz_7eQ
It did a lot better than I expected, coming from my sgs2 (that mic would distort if you looked at it funny)

Please if u can fix this thing that it will be so amazing .. i need that cuz i love to go clubbing and recoed vid .. also the mic when i record any song on whatsapp (voice note( is awful... im trying to search for a kernel or a mod to fix this ...

There is an app called (voodoo sound) that fix the sound in the hardware and also the mic . The developer for this app i dont know why he topped working for new devices .. try n.e.a.k kernel and downlod uneak engine from play store .. he is trying to fix this thing .. he just released the new versuon .. it seems doesnt work the mic modes but keep update with him
My SGH-M919 is really odd when it comes to recording videos.
Pictures are okay, but video quality is a bit terrible.
When I record a video, it takes a while for it to begin recording...normal, I've seen this happen on other Android devices.
As I'm recording, the video looks okay, no choppiness, yet.
When the recording stops and the playback starts.. the video looks pixelated.
The only time the video looks high quality is when the camera is still.. as soon as the camera moves.. it becomes pixelated.. but, then as the camera is settled.. it forms back into a high quality video.. move it again.. pixelated.
I have the video settings set on 'Standard,' as opposed to 'Low' on Snapchat, but that does not help.
Does anyone know what's going on? Should I enable/disable anything in the developer options? I've noticed this on Snapchats received by other Android users in my contact list, but iOS 4.x.x+ devices are all clear.
Any help/troubleshoot is appreciated!
If y'all need a video, lemme know and I'll try to send one.
Same here, iOS users are always clear, Android is the same as your issue and the same with me.. I would like to have this fixed as well!!

That's what I had thought lol, I hope snapchat improves in quality for Android devices
