I second that. I think the H2 has now been replaced by the H2n . . .? Still cheaper than Android phone.

I don't know any specific apps, but if your video app records your lute fine, and the sound recorder does not, then I'd have to assume the the video app is employing automatic gain control, while the recorder relies on a dedicated gain control, which is set too high.

Several companies are now making good quality microphones specifically for iOS: Tascam iM2 $79 (has its own precision preamp and A/D converter) Blue Mikey Digital $99 and Spark Digital $199 IK Multimedia iRig Mic $59 and iRig Mic Cast $39 Apogee MiC $199 I'm sure any of these would blow the doors off your phone's mic. A big part of the sound problem could be preamp / converter in your android. Tom Is there a good app for recording yourself on Android?

I guess I should state that I don't care if it's quality, just that I can here myself play and look for places I can improve. I will look for an app that might have some preamp or gain settings On Apr 30, 2012 2:34 PM, Toby [1]t...@tobiah.org wrote: On 04/30/2012 01:21 PM, Adam Olsen wrote: Is there a good app for recording yourself on Android?
