Due to the noice cancellation the video records the sound in front of you.
Be careful where you hold the phone also when recording video also the microphone is easy to cover up with your hand on accident.

[Q] External Microphone with video recording?

Does anyone know if I can buy an external mic to plug into the N4 and be used while video recording? The mic in the phone itself is very distorted during the events so I want to record videos with high quality sound during loud music events.

You can but it won't work!!!
I have the same requirement and the standard video app will not use an external mic - It must be a software issue...
I have found an app recently posted on the Play store: Ultra Video Camera. It will allow you to use an external microphone to record video. YAY! It's clunky to use (early days) and has very few user features within it but it does have an option to choose the inbuilt microphone or to use a headset/external microphone.
It works with my Lavalier mic as well as my standard headset + mic that I use for phone calls. The problem is that the quality of the sound recording is AWFUL.
There's a background hiss and a regular 'clicking' throughout the entire video. BOO!
I've emailed the creators and asked them if it can be improved - I'll update here when I get a response.
That aside - It does prove that the issue is a software challenge - and so I ask if anyone can 'hack' embellish the standard video app that comes with Nexus 4 to accommodate an external microphone?
My experience of the quality of the sound on the standard video app is that it's very good, but it prohibits standing any more than 2 metres away from the phone when making a video, hence the requirement for an external microphone.

G900F videos too quiet

Hi everyone.
I have an issue with the microphone. When I play a video I recorded with the camera, the audio of the recorded file is incredibly quiet, even though the audio source was loud and clear.
For example, I played a youtube-video on my PC and recorded it using the S5. It was loud and clear on my PC's speaker, but the recorded file has very quiet audio. I was sitting right in front of my PC when recording.
When listening to music on my S5, volume is all right so it must be something about the microphone.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Noise cancellation on video recording

Hello, is it possible to turn it off somehow? When recording live music vocals stay clear while instruments like guitar and drums sound bad.

How do you record loud audio without clipping?

I like to record video and audio at live concerts. Whenever I record video with the 6p, the audio comes out pretty decent w/ no clipping.
However, when I use an audio recorder, such as the Sony Audio Recorder and Field recorder, i get tons of clipping. I've tried turning down gain and enable clip protection, but the recording quality always sounds overloaded whenever the bass hits. The audio meters in it doesn't show that it reaches the 'red' but the resulting audio is still distorted.
How can i record audio w/ the 6p and get it sounding as good as the audio in the videos i record?
