Audio clipping and distortion in videos

[fearlessdrummer]

Forgive me. I dont know a whole lot about compressing/EQ'ing, or anything of that nature, even though I'm a musician. I record myself playing drums from time to time on my Note 10+, and when I play back the video, there seems to be quite a bit of clipping, and distortion throughout the video. I never had this issue on my S8+. But it sounds terrible on my Note 10+. Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this?

Thank you for your time!

Are you using the stock camera app when recording the video?

[fearlessdrummer]

Yes, I am!

[SamsungAdam]

Are you zooming the camera while recording? Have you tried clearing the cache for your camera app?

[fearlessdrummer]

No, not using the zoom. Especially with the Note 10 having the zoom mic capability , I made sure of that. If I play lighter, it's fine but once I play at a normal volume, seems like the mic cant tolerate the higher frequencies? I haven't tried clearing the cache, but I can. Not sure if that's going to fix it. I have a feeling this has something to do with the mic not being able to handle the external volume?

Have you tried recording with a 3rd party recording app and do you experience the same symptoms?

[fearlessdrummer]

I have not, but that's a great suggestion! Any recommendations?

[SamsungAdam]

@Rydah Do you have any suggestions?

[fearlessdrummer]

   Just tried a 3rd party app, and it's doing the same thing. As soon as I hit the drum decently hard, or get the cymbals involved, the audio on the video gets distorted. 

   I'm just trying to figure out why my s8+ and Note 8 were able to handle it, but not the Note 10+?

You may be correct about the volume. Do you have Dolby turned on or are you using HDR10+ recording?
