welcome to touch technology review today I want to show you how to record voice
memos using your iPhone. This is particularly useful if you're doing
voice over recordings like this where you're talking on camera and you want a
second recording it could be in a boardroom with a conference it could be
a live event it could be music it could be a narration over the top of a video
any type of audio recording can be achieved directly on the iPhone using
the built-in microphones at the base of the iPhone itself or if you want to get
slightly improved sound especially when you're doing close-up voiceover type
work you can use the microphone built into the headset that came with the
iPhone and by doing that you'll eliminate some of the echo that's
available and present in a room and also minimize some of that distracting
background noise but nonetheless you actually get a very decent sound if you
bring up the microphone really close to the vocal source directly from the
iPhone so there's a number of different ways of getting audio in and the quality
is you're fine going to be very adequate for most occasions be careful not to
move your phone around too much because it will pick up some interference and
distracting noises along the way so keep your phone really solid and you should
get a really good result moving on to how to actually use the app itself as I
mentioned earlier tap into the utilities folder in order to access the voice memo
app or if you want to find it along with any other app in your iPhone you can use
the search toolbar which can be accessed by swiping down from about halfway down
the iPhone and that will bring up the search toolbar you can type the word
voice memos in or voice memo and that will bring up the voice memos app tap in
it and you're ready to go so for the second part of this demonstration I'll
show you how to create your own recording how to edit and also how to
share the audio file with other users or directly to your computer for further
editing let's go ahead and check that out okay so when you tap on the voice
memos app for the first time you'll open it up and there'll be a blank page to
start with and allow record button at the bottom of the
screen so obviously to start your recording all you need to do is tap that
red record button and as soon as you do you'll notice a waveform appear towards
the bottom of the screen which indicates that you're in recording mode you'll
have a counter to show you how long you've been recording and you can
literally see that waveform as a recording progresses when you've
finished your audio simply tap that red button again the audio will stop and it
will save it down as a file for you ready to share or edit so in order to go
back and preview that audio file tap on the play button and you can listen to
your audio to make sure that everything is okay now if you want to go in and
make an edit to your recording either cutting the front the end of the
recording or somewhere in between or if you wish to do an indent to record over
a part of that recording you can actually go into the edit mode which you
can access by tapping on the three dots just next to the play button tap on that
and go into edit recording so you can then move the playhead to any position
on the timeline and you can start to replace that audio so let's go towards
the very end and let's say I wanted to replace that last section of audio tap
on the replace button and you can then record over that last section pause when
you finished and you can then resume pause resume and so on until you get
your final recording exactly the way you want it to be now if you need to edit
out specific sections of the recording you can use the advanced editing tool
which you can access by tapping on the blue icon to the top right hand corner
of the waveform when you tap on that you'll notice a waveform appears
highlighted in yellow and just below is a scroll bar that lets you select your
in and out points with the left and right arrow so in order to cut out a
section of the recording let's just scroll along to the middle of this
waveform that'll be my endpoint so I'll use the
left scroller to get to that in point and
then I'll use the right scroller to get to the out point that I want to cut so
now I'll be able to delete that single section of audio by tapping on the
delete button now if you want to just trim out the in and out points of the
complete audio file you can use the trim option instead so you can navigate to
your end point navigate to your out point trim and then
anything outside of the in/out points selected will be deleted from the audio
file when you finish that process tap on the Save button and your audio file will
be saved down into the file directory and you can then go ahead and share that
file with other users send it over to another device by tapping on the share
button at the bottom of the screen so I can share it to my iMac text it to
myself email it or even share it on various social media and file sharing
apps and so on so there you have it a very quick overview of how to use the
voice memo recording app on your iPhone thanks for watching I hope you enjoyed
