Hey, I'm looking for a way to use an external mic to record audio on my Nexus 7 2013 LTE. I did a quick search and didn't find anything so I apologize if I missed it. Looking for an app or possibly a rom that allows me to choose what apps see as the default mic. I'm willing to purchase a couple of minor accessories if needed.
Specifically, I'm trying to record sermons directly from the tape out on a mixer. I'm pretty sure this device has a trrs audio jack if I understand correctly and I already have a trss adapter that splits audio in and audio out, I just cant figure out a way to make an app use that mic input rather than the internal mic. I don't care what app is required as long as it's not outrageously priced as I'm paying for this myself.
It depends on what kind of microphone you're thinking of using. But so far as I know, plugging in a phone type external microphone would automatically cut off the internal and use the external instead, as in using app like skype or voice recorder. What do you need a special app for?

the "mic" would be a tape output from a mixer

Does anybody know of a way one can record sound from the headphone jack on the DHD? I want to record something from a line out and I figured to connect it to my phone using the 2xRCA-3.5mm cable, but couldn't find an app for it... Anyone found a way?

any sound recording app will do it, u just have to feed the audio into the mic ring on the connector. cant just feed audio backwards into an amplifier and record it. you will only get mono recording ability though.
Got a scheme/picture which ring is the mic ring? And can it take line-out/record-out loudness, or do I have to cut it down? Also, I'm pretty sure that when I plug in normal headphones which don't have a microphone the DHD uses its own, how exactly does it recognize a plugged in mic?
Im not sure offhand which it is. id dig around in google, any of the standard headsets work as its a standard for which ring is the mic. im just at work and dont have the moment to search it out. line out volume sohuld work fine, but any amplified or even headphone outputs could be too much for it.
i had an adapter i made for hooking my guitar to my ipad a while ago but dont know where i put it lol.
Nice, guess I'll get into researching, one more thing for me to play with...
Thank you for your time...
Here's what I'm trying to accomplish. I am looking for an app that will record any audio being played, but not record it with the phone's microphone. If you have ever had a portable stereo with built in cassette that records, then that is the kind of app I'm looking for. An app that can record digital "mix tapes". I could just use a patch cable from the headphone out of the phone into line in on the computer then use audio recording program to do it too. That idea isn't really portable enough. I would like to record, in a format I can actually do something with in an audio editor, streaming music, news, shows, scanner radio feeds, etc. The few recorder programs and mixer apps only seem to use the mic to record everything.
Tunein radio pro records but you can't use the raw files it creates for songs.
Any suggestions?
Why
First is there any specific thing you are trying to record? Phone calls, pandora music, youtube, music player, etc. If so there are other known ways to capture that audio much easier.
This guy seems to be working on the same thing: http://xzpeter.org/?p=254
But unless your skilled in Java programming, I would think about what you want this "feature" for.
Lastly, you could dismantle your phone and attach the speaker output to a 3.5mm wired mic and attach that to the phone and get all the audio through a loop. Not sure if that would work and would void warranty. TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK
Why not just buy a digital voice recorder? They are portable and can be connected to the phone. Some have bluetooth too but not sure how they work with bluetooth exactly.

I've got one and am trying that but its not giving good enough results. First, the output of the phone is too hot for the variable input of the dvr. I'm not good at making cables but if I could have a stereo male to male 3.5mm with about 9db of attenuation then I could drive the recorder better. I know its an impedence issue but don't have the ability to do it. Second, whenever you move the phone or dvr, you sometimes get static from the plugs moving.
First reply: I would like to record things like Pandora, tunein radio, stitcher and maybe rdio.
I bought a Samson Meteor microphone to record some class lectures. I used SGSII 4-IN-1 connection kit to hook it up. I was able to record with it but the quality was quite low but on my Ubuntu box using Audacity it sounded great. Does anyone know if there is some way to connect an external mic and get good sound? The native voice recorder app on the S3 used the usb mic without a hitch. I installed another app that lets you select a mic but it only recognizes the built ins. Has anyone else tried the external mic thing?
Hello, I have a quick question to ask. I want to record video using an external microphone for audio, but upon plugging into the TRRS (headphone) jack, the camera app does not detect an external microphone is being used. Is there a system file I can edit or an application I can use to make the default microphone my external microphone?
I am looking for the same functionality. I want to use an external Bluetooth microphone as input.
Has anyone tried this?
I'm trying to record audio straight from a source like a vinyl player or a pocket operator. Would anyone know how I would be able to do this.
As the port is used for ear buds and you can speak on teh phone through the buds and be heard the functionality of audio capture is there.
I record my phone calls and use the mic on my buds to capture my voice.
Stands to reason that any other mic you can connect via the port should be able to work as well.
You will probably just need to make sure whatever adapter you use is compatible.
Not all usb C-audio jack dongles work.
DAC is the tech that has to exist if memory serves.
