Howdy,
my name is Colin McDowell. My company, McDSP, make this highly stylized iPhone recorder app called Retro Recorder. Among its many useful features, it has this dandy feature called Audio Level eXtension (ALX) processing, which can maximize the levels of your recordings by about 30 dB max.
Recently I was asked if the ALX feature on Retro Recorder was similar to the digital photo zoom in features in iPhone apps like Camera Genius and Camera Zoom-In.
In a word, YES !!!!
With ALX, Retro Recorder is the only iPhone recorder app that offers a distortion free audio zoom in (level maximization) capability. You can still export your original and/or ALX-processed recordings to your Mac (ok a PC too).
So ALX is like a volume control? Nope. A simple volume control could cause the audio to clip, creating so much distortion the recording would be useless. ALX uses patent pending techniques to turn up the quiet stuff and balance it out with the loud stuff.
So, in my completely biased opinion, Retro Recorder is perfect for field recordings, interviews, dictations, your kids first words, and even music.
Seeing as how folks might find that interesting, I thought I would post it here. You can find out more about Retro Recorder at www.retrorecorder.com, or check it out on the app store.
Thanks!
