Interesting. That is actually how the app works today: you actually have to tap try Stereo HD, then make a stereo recording that is at least 10 seconds long before pressing "try Stereo HD" again presents you with the paywall. We got a lot of feedback from users (and from Apple in their App Review -.-) that that was confusing; they wanted to see the paywall straight away. So now we're considering removing that try-it-once-without-starting-a-trial mode. Regarding exporting to mono: no, that shouldn't happen. It should definitely export to stereo. The exporting process doesn't touch the file. Would you mind sending me that audio file to thomas@tape.it if it's not a very private recording (of course we'll treat it privately; just for internal debugging)? |

So, after doing a few more tests, it seems like I was incorrect, my initial recording was in stereo (I'm happy to admit when I'm wrong!)
I feel like the issue was more to do with a lack of stereo separation than anything being wrong.
For example, I tried making sounds on either side of the sound field, but I really couldn't hear any change positioning in the stereo image (and I'm using studio monitors).
Sounds like this might be more of a limitation of using the portrait orientation microphone positions that anything else.
So, I'd would definitely consider offering some flexibility there if that's possible. It would also be great if the UI showed twin level meters or similar to confirm the stereo (would help to push the idea of the additional value offered by stereo as well?)
