Q&A for How to Record Audio on a Mobile Phone

I use Google Drive to do this. Download the Google Drive app from the App Store and log in with your email. Then (at least on the iPhone recorder app), click on the recording you want to send, then click "Export," then "Copy to Google Drive." Then you log into Google Drive on your computer and there it is!

On your iPhone 6 there are pre-installed apps that cannot be removed; one of those is called Voice Memos. Find the app on your device and open it. You should see the word "record" at the top, a big red button toward the bottom, and a list of recordings beneath that. Just click the red button and it will record any audio picked up by the iPhone's microphone.

Most smartphone cameras automatically include any audio that occurred during filming into the video, so there is no need to do both at the same time.

Find where the recording is located, select Options and hit the delete/erase button.

If you use iOS then you can use an app called garageband to make some cool music for your audio. Note that garageband has to be purchased in the app store.

For Android users there are numerous apps offered to record while you are on the phone. However, my experience with such apps has been poor -- the functionality promoted never quite worked the way it was described. Though it has been three years since I tried to use one of these apps, so there may be better apps out there now.

Search your audio files for it. It should be there if it was saved.

You can usually connect your phone to a laptop using a cable. then open your phone's files from the laptop and transfer the audio file. After that you can make a CD by inserting it in the laptop, opening the CD file as if it were a USB stick an transferring the audio file onto it.

Both parties should check to see if you (or they) hit the mute button. If so, unmute it.
