Audio clipping in loud environments Sep 7, 2014

    trano , Sep 7, 2014 :
    went to an event with loud music the other night, found out the audio in my videos that i recorded weas terrible, everything seemed to be drowned out by the bass.

    would this be a hardware issue or can it be fixed with software?

    Heres a sample of what im talking about below.


    [EDIT]

    The video quality was reduced just so I could upload it quicker. the audio however sounds as is.

    [EDIT]
    if you also experience this problem, vote it up here to hopefully increase its priority from normal to high.

    [FIX 2016]
    New fix! After a year of owning this phone and no support at all from the Oneplus dev team. I went out and found my own solution! Details in the link below

    Its a phone after all.

    Are you the one pulling the huge screen phones at these venues, creating a distraction for those behind you instead of just enjoying the event?

    BAAAAAAAAA BAAAAAAAAA BAAAAAAAAAA BAAAAAAAAAAAA

    I wouldn't really criticize much since it's a phone, not a proper full fledged video camera.

    sigh i knew i would get answers like this but i stopped myself from writing this in the original post.

    i had an iphone 4 before the OPO and it recorded sound at events just fine.

    I dont want to get into a debate about iphones and android. pls

    sample here from iphone 4

    I haven't tried the One at an event yet but even my S2 makes better recordings than that.

    I understood that there is nothing much you can do about this clipping.

    It's an hardware problem. OP needs to fix this at their end.

    And I would love to see this fixed.

    its an important feature on Nokia Lumias....they have 4 microphones on them, and can handle over 100db without distortion, cant the OPO do the same with their 3 microphones at all? Id love to have good live concert videos, whats the point of good video if the audio is awful?

    I have also come to expect answers like some of these as well.

    I have been trying to research this issue/topic, and I often encounter responses like "It's just a phone, what do you expect?" or "Why are you recording a live performance anyway?" Those comments seem to avoid the issue. I've seen enough videos recorded by different smart phones that DON'T exhibit this problem (some quite older than the OPO.) So, it's fair to ask why the OPO has this problem, when some older devices do not.

    At least there's some good, informative responses in this thread. :)

    Anyway, I remember reading somewhere, a suggestion to cover the mics with a piece of band-aid, with hopes of lessening the distortion. I gave it a shot, and this is what I got...

    Sounds OK, but bass still sounds terrible. :(

    I have downloaded this app called "IgCamera" it allows you to record with a microphone plugged into the headphone jack, i havent gotten to use it in a loud setting yet though.

    next time cover the microphones with a towel or similar to eliminate the volume peeks at least a bit... it may sound a bit muffy, but better than distorted... if it't too muffy for you, you can add some clarity with an editor later on..
