Saramonic is delivering one of the most complete two channel wireless
mic systems I’ve yet reviewed. Tons of accessories IN THE BOX! It has
GREAT audio quality! It’s one of the smallest transmitters I’ve ever
seen, and it can STILL use a wired lav. It’s really impressive!

I'm a sad technology fan.
No really. There's been a severe lack of high quality audio software on Android.
Thankfully, Soundcloud has updated their social audio app, giving us droids a compelling option for not only recording and editing, but for sharing our audio as well.
The app is nicely laid, simple tabs direct you to either listen to audio your subscribed to, or to record your own audio.
During the recording process, you have the ability to pause and resume, a nice feature if you need to burp or otherwise interrupted.
Editing is very simple, and resembles my current fave audio app TapeMachine. I wish there were more options like noise reduction, but it's still a very functional workflow.
So how does it sound uploading something from your phone?
Well, here's me talking into a Motorola Photon Q:
It's a great update providing a LOT more functionality, and fans of the service will definitely want to check it out.
This was just a funny little story from my pal David:
When David Sobolov, Mark Freidlander and Eric Williams from SAG and myself, were traveling back from the GDC in Austin, we were changing planes in Phoenix when we got a call from AAA for a last minute audition. I had my studio with me in it's roll on case and so we asked the airline personnel if we could set up and record to send an audition to LA. LOL, after a few quick explanations to gaping mouths and questioning eyes, they shrugged and said sure. I whipped out the Powerbook, mBox, neumann mic, headphones and between airport announcements were knocking takes out when the TSA showed up with the airport police. After a quick explanation of what the gear was and what we were doing with about 30 minutes to flight time, we cranked out, edited and sent the auditions to Abrams in LA using the airport wi-fi...to the applause of the small crowd gathered and thanked them for their silence, patience and understanding...and on to our flight back to LA.
