best way to record a concert

[Coolpepper43]

I am trying to figure out the best way to record a concert with my iphone 4s. I can get alright recordings but sometimes it sound really distorted. Can anyone recommend a recording app and settings that would work best for concerts? Thank you.

An app may help, but you will probably get better results using a better microphone. There are add on mics that will plug into the dock connector.

honestly, if you really want quality audio, better look for a different equipment. no matter how good the mic, sometimes, the device itself will hiccup and cause a break.

I second to what goggleviZ has said. A high quality recorder (better get the one for professional use) may give you the quality you're looking for.
But if you really wanna make do with what an app could offer then I think there should be a good, more stable way of how you handle your iPhone while recording, position and location wise.
I do think it will always be distorted especially if you're taking it from a concert considering the noise around and the like, so good luck!

I receantly purchase a set of ear buds that have a built in mic. Andrea Electronics sb205b I didn't really care about the mic when I bought them I really liked the sound. The company touted the mic as 3D recording technology... what ever that means. However I saw Poision over the summer and gave them a shot and WOW! I was floored. it sounded awesome. Now i have the earbuds with me always and when something is worth recording I record it and since it looks like im listening to music on my Iphone no one ever bugs me. very stealthy.

iTalk Recorder app. I'm using this app it records quite well at a distance.
