    2013-03-25 | ideas | read post



    Of course iPhone is not made for professional audio recording but you can achieve very good results if you consider some basic rules.

    The room:
    - should be silent during recording
    - should be without echo
    - very small rooms are usually not suitable
    - look around if there is a refrigerator or any other device with continuous rumbling noise and switch them off or stay far from them

    Position, distance, way of speaking:
    - sit comfortably in front of an office table
    - put the iPhone on the table in front of you as shown above with about 50 cm (19.7 inch) distance from your face
    - place the iPhone with the home button towards you as shown above
    - speak as loud asif you were presenting on a five person meeting
    - articulate clearly

    If everything went well, the level of the recorded voice should be around -3dB suitable for using it as narrator voice on videos without much change.

    You can use the built-in "Voice Memos" application. Recording more than 30 minutes is not recommended. With the share option you are able to send the recording in e-mail. If the file is too large, you have to use the free diskAid software to download the recording to a computer.

    Here is an example video we made recently using iPhone for recording the narrator voice.
