Recording Tips
Turn On Airplane Mode and Do Not Disturb
When you plug a MOTIV device into your iOS device, a warning message prompts you to enable Airplane Mode
and Do Not Disturb mode. It's important to do this to avoid recording interference from phone calls, messages, and
various notifications. Tap X to dismiss this warning message.
Note: Leave Airplane Mode off to add geolocation information to your audio file.
Use Lock Mode to Lock In Your Sound
When you've tested your audio and have found the levels that you like, turn on Lock mode to prevent accidental
adjustment, and ensure that your audio quality remains consistent.
Record in Mono
Record in mono to increase your available record time or when recording a single source, like vocals, that would
benefit from less ambient noise. Select the Mono Cardioid or Mono Bidirectional polar pattern and audio from all
capsules are summed to a single channel. The input meter will indicate mono recording by displaying the top half
of the waveform. MOTIV supports third-party microphones with mono recording.
Record in Stereo
Rotate the MV88+ barrel in the mic clip to accommodate portrait or landscape recording. L and R are labeled to
show stereo orientation of the microphone. The stereo image is accurate if the Shure logo is facing upward.
Use the Dark Theme
Select the Dark appearance option to change the app from light gray to dark gray. The darker display is ideal for
discreet recording in low-light situations.
You can access the Dark setting by going to Menu > Settings > Appearance > Dark .
Capture the Complete Performance
To ensure that you capture the entire sound source, start your recording before the performance starts and edit the
recording later to trim any silence.
