Recording High Sound Pressure Levels

[abnormal86]

Been to a few local and national rock shows lately...and to some auto racing events. While the video, with some tweaks, can be pretty good...the sound normally sucks once you cross a certain threshold.

Anyone figure out a trick to get better audio when it's really LOUD???

A future sub-menu item to trim down the audio levels would be awesome HTC!

I don't know, but I wonder if there's a way to add compression to the videos, that might help. Maybe someone has developed such a thing?

The problem with recording high sound pressure is the sound waves over oscillate the mic's membrane causing the rattling during recording. I don't know that any software will ever remedy that. A trick I've used with other phones is to place a piece of heavy duty masking tape over the mic. It deflects the sound waves enough to stop the rattling without muffling the recording. I haven't yet had a chance to try it on my Rez but I don't know why it wouldn't work the same way.
