Oh, sorry, my bad. Currently, you can do one recording in high quality stereo without having to subscribe or commit to anything. To do that, tap the "Try Stereo HD" button. It should then say "Trying Stereo HD" and the resulting recording should be in stereo.

Sorry for the misunderstanding, I hope I could clarify :)

So, I'm now on the trial and I'm trying it out again! :)

I have a silly question - does stereo recording work in both portrait and landscape orientations? I'll do more tests, but I'm hearing less stereo separation than I do when I shoot video (and I'm wondering if it needs to be held in landscape or something?)

We designed it to be used in portrait mode so that you don't have to rotate the app. Whether one should hold it in portrait or landscape can be configured in code.

Landscape mode would of course have much better microphone arrangement, with one being on the left and one on the right.

I will test this out myself to compare the difference again. Thank you so much for your feedback, it's super valuable!

Hi. Sorry, I missed this reply. That's exactly what I did do actually. So, maybe I've done something wrong? I'll double check Audacity again.

I don't think you missed the reply, it just took me a while :D

If, while recording, the button said "Trying Stereo HD", it should have recorded in Stereo. Thanks for double checking :)
