How to Record Sound on Android

Using your Android phone, you can record both internal and external audio. Simply follow the steps below.

Record External Audio

To record your own voice using your phone‘s built-in mic or an external mic, use the stock Voice Recorder app on your phone.

Get started by opening your app drawer and launching the Voice Recorder app.

Depending on your phone model, you’ll have various ways to record the audio. For example, in Samsung’s Voice Recorder, you’ll find three recording options: Standard , Interview , and Speech-to-Text .

To begin recording, at the bottom of the app, tap the red Record button.

Voice Recorder has now started recording. Speak into your phone’s mic (or an external mic) and your voice or other sounds will be captured.

If you’d like to pause the current recording, tap the Pause button.

When you’ve finished the recording and want to save it, at the bottom of your screen, tap the Stop button.

You’ll see a Save Recording prompt asking you to save your current audio recording. Here, tap the text field and type a name for the audio file. Optionally, tap the “Category” drop-down menu and choose a category for your file.

Then, tap the “Save” option.

And you’re all done. Your voice recording has been successfully saved on your phone.

Later, you can access your recordings from within the Voice Recorder app.

Most Voice Recorder apps allow you to customize how the sound is recorded. To access those options, in the app’s top-right corner, tap the three-dot menu and choose “Settings.” Then, configure the options the way you prefer.

Record Internal Audio

Android’s stock Voice Recorder app doesn’t allow you to record the sounds coming from your installed apps. You’ll have to use another built-in feature on your phone or a third-party app to record internal audio on Android.

The built-in feature that you can use is called Screen Recorder. As the name implies, it records your phone’s screen, but you can also choose to have your phone’s internal sound recorded.

To use the built-in method, pull down twice from your phone’s screen and tap “Screen Recorder.”

On the “Screen Recorder” panel, in the “Sound Settings” section, choose “Media Sounds.” This ensures your recording captures the audio from your installed apps.

Next, tap “Start Recording.”

You’ll see a countdown before the recording begins. Then, your phone will start recording your phone’s system sounds.

When you’ve finished recording, in your screen’s top-right corner, tap the stop button.

Your screen recording is now saved in your phone’s Gallery app.

Converting Your Video File to an Audio File

If you prefer keeping your recording in an audio format, then download a free audio conversion app like MP3 Video Converter.

Launch the app once it’s downloaded. Then, on the main app page, tap “Select.”

Choose your screen recording from the list.

This particular app allows you to convert your videos to MP3 or AAC format. To choose between these options, tap the “Copy (AAC)” or “MP3” button, depending on what’s currently selected.

Then, begin the conversion process by tapping “Convert” at the bottom.

Wait while the app converts your file. When it’s done, play your converted file by tapping “Play.” You can find the converted audio file in your file manager by accessing the path listed next to the Play button.

And that’s it. Got an iPhone and want to record audio on it? If so, it’s equally easy to do that.
