Between producing sound effects and working with podcasting clients, I find myself on the road and on the go quite a lot.  I can’t always carry my recording kit wherever I go and often the need and opportunity to record something happens without warning.  The opportunity for an interview or a unique soundscape can happen in an instant and can be gone just as quickly.  My handheld recorder is rarely very far away, but when it is, I rely on my Android phone to fill in the gaps. If you’re in the same boat, what are the recording apps for Android that are worth your consideration?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Criteria<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I like the interviews for my shows to sound immersive and intimate. They should sound like you’re sitting down in the room and having a cup of tea with a guest, or on the street in the thick of the moment as things occur.  So when I sat down to research and test recording apps, I had some pretty intense criteria in mind.  Your needs will likely vary. Here are mine:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Musts:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Easy to use<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The interface needs to be simple enough to open the app and start recording right away.  A lot of opportunities get lost while setting up equipment.  Quickly and easily recording is a must.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. High-quality mp3 and uncompressed wav recording<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Your Android device is basically a Linux computer under the surface.  Because of this, it drives me buggy hearing the quality of recording that comes out of most of the built-in voice recorder apps.  They are often recorded at low quality in a hyper-compressed format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
