I agree something is wrong. I can tell you that the settings have never intentionally been messed with. Also - the problem occurred fairly suddenly and I don't have the same issue using my wife's iphone 11. The video I found suggested changing a setting to turn off...

Hello. I'm Ron. I've played piano on and off for much of my life. I used to be pretty decent playing ragtime and, about two or three years ago, got interested in learning jazz. I'm a complete novice at making recordings and actually got into doing so as a side benefit of on line lessons that...

I've tried using an external mic. It made no difference with the iphone and I couldn't figure out how to get the laptop to see it. I'm going to try to find some time this afternoon to try that. But, as I mentioned above, the laptop mic is now working adequately. Either way, I'd like to see...

No, it's not a player piano. It's just me playing a snippet from the Maple Leaf Rag. But I think I stumbled onto the problem with the laptop. I checked the settings and the recording volume was at 92%. I lowered that to 50% and it made no difference at all, except that the playback volume...

I've taken two sets of videos and converted them to mp3. In both sets, I looked for a set that moves over the range of the piano, although I don't know whether that makes a difference. The distortion is a tinny sound, almost like a harpsichord, and the fading in and out just seems to happen in...

Thanks so much. I'm wondering if there's some sort of setting that's causing the problem. I just tried my wife's iphone 12 (mine is an iphone 11) and hers works fine. We have similar pc laptops and the recordings fail with both of them. Not sure about an outside sound hypothesis. It first...

laptop was plugged in when I was using it. Phone was on battery. I'll try your suggestion. Thanks. It occurred to me that I have an old digital camera somewhere. That shouldn't have the same kinds of issues, so I think I'll try that as well. Post reply...

I've been fighting with a very weird problem. I'm trying to record myself playing acoustic piano at home. For quite some time, I was doing this using my iphone. It worked well, until it didn't. The recorded sound began to fade in and out and was distorted. It occurred to me that I could use...
