Recording on a Smart Phone?

(1/5) > >>

Hank Mardukas:
I stealth tape quite a bit and love the idea of being able to record on my phone.  I've tested quite a few phones and apps with external mics and have found the following:

1.  Most phones don't support true stereo recording (some do)
2.  No apps support true stereo recording (they say they do but it's actually split mono)
3.  No apps support recording above 16bit/48kHz
4.  No phones support SPL above 100

I'm wondering if anyone has done any research on this topic and has come across a combination that works.  Ultimately I'd like a smartphone/app combo that can:

1.  Record in true stereo (not split mono tracks)
2.  Record uncompressed WAV at 24bit/96kHz
3.  Provides some gain control to allow recording of loud sources above 110SPL

Records 24 bit. Unsure if it's split mono or true stereo.
