I want to record my playing for several purpose,
1, Record and play back to see the flaws and what to improve.
2, Use the recording as a goal. I will repeat practicing on a piece until the recording sounds good enough.
3, If I can achieve the second point, I may send the recording to my family members and friends.
None for professional usage.
I only tried to use my Android mobile phone and my computer to record the sound, and I tried several methods, (my phone is a mid level Android phone, it was produced in 2019 or 2020, not too old).
1, Use my HP laptop computer to record (I tried both the built-in Win10 sound recorder and Audacity), then use both the built-in speaker and a blue-tooth speaker to play back. The result is the worst. I guess it's because the built-in mic is crap.
2, Use the built-in sound recording app in the phone to record, then use the built-in speaker to play back. The result is really bad, but better than point 1.
3, Use third party app in the phone to record, and set the sample rate to the highest 44.1khz, bit rate to highest 256kbp, then use earphone or a small blue-tooth speaker to playback, the result is so so. Though I highly doubt it reflects the real sound of what I've played.
Now I use the method 3. However, I'm not sure if the recorded sound is equal to my playing.
Do you think a mobile phone is enough my purpose? If not, what would you recommend? Such a microphone, or a portable audio recorder? I'm not going to pay too much money on it because I think it's auxiliary (correct me if my opinion is wrong). Maybe less than $100.
Thanks
