Hi everyone, I wanted to know if it was possible in any way for me to record my readings via my iPhone 11?? My laptop recently broke and I am very passionate about reading lol. Is there any products or softwares you would suggest I could use to make good readings through my cellphone. Thank you in advance!

There is a tutorial on that in the Wiki: https://youtu.be/6qG6zUTYfbc

My laptop broke a few days ago unfortunately. But I used the steps you sent me over in the last link and applied it to my recording to the best of my ability. Hope this works!

Hi Mariah

That sounds good! Apparently my iPhone instructions work (although, I did test it on my own iPhone).

The only thing that needs fixing is the volume is just a wee bit low at 85.2db; LV wants audio between 86 and 92 db, with 89-90 being ideal. You can fix this in TwistedWave in tools>Normalize and set the normalization to -3 or -4. Your audio is at -7. So please make a new test, but don't post it here; post it in Listeners Wanted and select "tests - tests" in the uploader, not alg1001. I'll come by for a final check and then you'll be good-to-go.
