I tend to use the Samsung's default Voice Recorder app when recording tunes, however it saves in the .3ga format and is somewhat useless for directly sharing it with others.
Requirements:
In order to get the file into a usable format I do these steps:
- Record the sound
- Share it to my Google Drive
- Retrieve the file on computer
- Open a command window, go to the FFMPEG install directory and type the following:
- ffmpeg.exe -b 256k -i "c:\path\to\3ga\file.3ga" "c:\path\to\savemp3\file.mp3"
- The mp3 will be in the destination directory.
You can do more with FFMPEG however this gets to me where I can edit the file in Audacity and go from there with it.
Example:
