[Q] Audio quality in video recording? - Moto X Q&A

I currently have the Droid Razr M and if I ever try to take a video of a concert or other loud environment the audio is always atrocious. I am hoping that the X has decent quality audio recording.
My Razr currently sounds like the S3 in this video:

Can someone upload a video they've taken with the X at a concert? Or even just crank up the volume of some music on your home theater (with bass) and see how it performs.
I am hoping that the X can approach the One!

Audio Recording Tips

I chose this phone over the S4 based on the advertised higher quality audio capabilities. The speakers do sound great, but does anyone have any pointers on how to maximize the audio recording quality? I see a lot of articles regarding video, but not much for people trying to only record audio. Do some apps work better than others? Phone/mic placement? Do I have to record a video to get the best audio?
The thing is, I was playing (live music) with some friends several months ago, and one of them put their iphone4 on the opposite end of the room and ran the voice memo app. i was amazed at how clear it was compared to my S2. So far im not having the same experience with the HTC One.
Thanks in advance.
I haven't tried much yet but sounds like the video recorder is best for audio recording.

LGCamera works the best set 1920x1080, 8Megabits/s video bitrate, 320kbps audio at 48khz and you can maintain 30fps and it's quite epicly gorgeous quality I must say.
Where LGCamera shines over 99.9% of other camera apps is in audio quality. AAC at 320kbps sounds amazing.

Bad audio rec

To those of you who have the 4X in your hands already, I'm curious what your thoughts are on the mic quality. When recording video, how is the audio? Specifically, imagine recording vid of a live band in a club room.... Is it bad and have noise?
Thanks
No one have this problem??

How is the sound recording quality?

Hello guys!
I want to buy this phone but the sound recording quality is importante for me. I´ll record meetings and, sometimes, from about 3 or 4 meters...
Can anyone say if the sound recording quality is good? My question is becuase it is waterproof... maybe it will make the recording quality below average?
Thanks!

It really depends.
I've seen some people say that it was bad (according to their opinion)
But I've also seen that said there was nothing wrong with it.
The Z3C has 3 recording settings (in terms of sound)
Silent, normal, concert (something like that) so I guess you'll have to play around with those to see which fits the occasion best.
Here are 2 random videos I found, And in my opinion the sound isn't bad. Based on my own experience it's not bad either, but I'm not you, you need to judge it by yourself.
I'd say go to a store if possible and just record some stuff. (Please note that the Z3C doesn't come with a build in sound recorder app so you'll need to get one from Play)

My experience so far is based on two scenarios.. Concert and alarm test messages. Both are absolutely great in quality! Using sonys audio recorder to even record stereo audio.

I have not done extensive testing regarding sound, yet, but from what I have done I am impressed with the default sound. It has a wide sound stage, but very clear. However, I have recently purchased Sony's STM10U Stereo Microphone which works on the Z3 devices. There is also Sony's audio recorder app that works with this mic to download.
It really adds a studio type control, blocking out all external sounds, providing a more focused sound. Great for concerts. Comes with a wind cover which is handy for blustery days. This way, I have all my sound options covered.

If you record regularly I'd suggest investing in a decent mini microphone that plugs into the headphone jack. I find the built in mic no better or worse than other phones I've had, but have not done any detailed comparison.
I have found the sound quality absolutely perfect with the Z3C!!!
I play in a band and have always been jealous of how well my friends iPhones have been able to record our band practices. My z3 compact is loads, loads better than my galaxy nexus or HTC hd2 but still not as even good as the iPhone 4 I'm afraid when it comes to recording at very loud volumes.
I'm also using the Sony audio recorder. It works well but the files are massive and can only be saved on internal memory.

Hit Thanks if you like it ! ​
Big if true, was worried they would use a crappy mic yet again
It would be good if the mic didn't distort at high volumes, but what's even more important is that there is no background noise and it can record clear and natural-sounding audio with some bass. Extra points for wind-noise-reduction for better action-cam-like videos
