Indeed, keeping the ball rolling until it gets clear what it is about can be
a tough chore.

For serious sound recording, ie. ""usable"", the initial contraption today
is kinda like a H2 or H4 from Zoom. If whatever it is/was the OP tried to
use is cheaper than the cheapest of those, then it is likely to be money
wasted. As for using a mobile phone .... the wordlength reduction, whatever
it may be ... may provide something that is akin to 8 bits actual
resolution.

Kind regards
