New phone, who dis?
-
I’m thinking of the same switch, 12 to 17, but only for battery life. My 12 does everything I want it to but it doesn’t last all day anymore.

Can you use your old phone just as a videocamera, and airdrop the recordings to your new phone?
I used to use my XS for video editing with an old app that I couldn’t download anymore, and then send it to myself. Eventually that stopped working, but it was good for a while!

I have avoided doing anything that would require me to have to later sync up the video and audio. I just want one file, easy peasy. I know, not realistic.
Maybe my first step should be to try a different app that lets you control the settings.
Also, I should probably consider adding an external mic, then in theory at least, I should be able to still have one file, but the audio input would be different.
Maybe.
@mik Mr. SK and I got some deal so we both upgraded. It was worth it, I was worried our phones were going to die, and I didn’t want him to go on his trip with a dying phone (we got the new phones before he went to Japan last month).
I am very happy with the new phones and not having to worry about it anymore.

@ShiroKuro No syncing required! Just use your old phone like you used to, and then send (airdrop) the video to yourself.

@AdagioM ahh! I totally misinterpreted what you meant!
Yes I could certainly do that! Funny that it didn’t occur to me.
Although, the old phone’s recording quality wasn’t that great either, and I should probably try to figure out if this issue is more connected to the iOS than to the hardware. Because if it’s the iOS, then eventually it will surface on the old phone.
Also, let’s be honest, I don’t want to keep my old phone alive for this! I was actually trying to figure out if I should sell it or not. When we got our new phones, they called the discount they gave us a “trade in,” but then the guy said “oh, we don’t want your old phones, they’re too old. You can keep them.” Huh? How is that a trade in then?

Recorded on an iPhone 17 Pro:
Link to video@Axtremus so you’re saying it’s me, I’m the problem?
Kidding aside, that’s beautiful @axtremus ! Both your playing and your piano’s lush sound.
This makes me think 1) my piano needs to be tuned. 2) I probably should put my phone somewhere else to get it a little farther from the piano. Also 3) I didn’t play my piece very well (that part’s ok though, because I’ve been sick and I have a built in excuse).
Anyway, once the PT recital goes live, I’ll share the recording here and you all can hear how shitty it sounds.
More to the point, @axtremus that recording sounds so nice! Thank you for sharing it!!

May be hardware difference. The iPhone 17 Pro has a four-mic array that Apple Inc. bills as “studio quality.” The iPhone 17 (not Pro) has standard stereo microphones.

It’s not my piano, but because the owner is not a WTF member, it does not seem appropriate to disclose who s/he is here.

@Axtremus my phone is the iPhone 17 pro max, I should learn more about its hardware.
Re that Yamaha, it sounds just gorgeous. I wish I had (local) friends with pianos like that!
BTW remind me what your piano is, in my memory you have a European piano, but I don’t know why I think that.

Actually, the Yamaha CF6 in my recording is in Germany. You saw my Germany photos in the "Where was Ax" thread.
My own piano is a Kawai RX-A.
@Axtremus ok so obviously my useless memory cannot be relied upon to tell me who has what piano!
@mik and @adagiom I don't know about the expense of battery replacement, but after a certain point, I don't like to put money into old tech.
Beside the non-existent battery life, my old phone was also showing all kinds of bugginess and problems, camera taking forever to open, websites crashing etc.
I was very happy to replace it.
But @mik if you do decide to get a new phone, be sure to look for a deal or promotion, don't pay full price.
