Note 7 Disappoints again with video/audio recordings

Specifically bought this phone to take with me to Minnesota to see Metallica's show live and get good quality recordings both in video and audio. :mad:

As you can see in the video below, autogain or some other stupid setting caused the audio to peak out and make a crackling sound.

Now to compare, my friend was standing next to me recording with his Galaxy S7 Edge with absolutley no issues.

I went to see Black Sabbath last night and experienced the same exact issues and my buddy didnt have any once again. Seriously considering returning this phone and getting an S7 edge...

Oh, you're one of those people that watch the gig through a small screen.

Cheaper and easier stay at home and watch someone else's phone recording of Black Sabbath or Metallica on YouTube, Yandex, Youku or Tudou. :D

Relax, I don't sit there trying to capture the entire show. As you can see in the above video I only recorded one song which was the first time they have ever played live.

Setting are the same for both note 7 and s7.
