Mic Sync 2 vs MediaForge

Two phones. One shoot. MicSync turns two phones into a shooting system: one records video, the other works as a remote microphone. Place the camera where the picture should be. Place the second phone where the sound actually is. Phone video is often good enough. Onboard audio usually isn’t — the mic sits on the wrong device, too far from the voice. MicSync fixes placement without a wireless kit, an account, or the cloud. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open MicSync on both phones and pick a role: Camera or Microphone. 2. Pair over the same Wi-Fi network — automatic discovery, QR code, or IP. 3. Record. The camera captures video (up to 4K / 60 fps). The second phone streams 24-bit / 48 kHz audio in real time. 4. Stop. MicSync aligns sound to the take and exports one MP4. FEATURES • Dual-phone workflow — camera + remote mic • Local Wi-Fi pairing — no internet required • QR, network discovery, and manual IP fallback • Live levels, gain, and mute from the camera • Local WAV backup on the microphone • Recording continues if the link drops; the app tries to reconnect • Auto-aligned export to MP4 • Save to Photos or share the clip • No account, no cloud upload of your footage WHO IT’S FOR Creators, journalists, educators, musicians, and anyone shooting interviews, vlogs, classes, or backstage clips who already has a second phone. WHAT YOU NEED Two phones on the same Wi-Fi network. If one device can’t host a hotspot, join both to the same router. Privacy-first: audio and control stay between your devices. MicSync does not create accounts or upload your recordings to our servers.

MediaForge is a local-first audio and video conversion studio for iPhone and iPad. Import media from Photos, Files, another app, or drag and drop on iPad. View stereo waveforms overlaid or as separate left and right tracks, then zoom into a local time window for precise work. Edit video with freeform cropping, rotation, horizontal flip, exposure, brightness, contrast, saturation, warmth, highlight and shadow controls, sharpening, vignette, and tone curves. Draw audio processing directly on the waveform. Add any number of gain anchors, drag them down to true mute, link both channels or automate them independently, and paint anonymize or pitch-shift effects onto exact time ranges. Repair mono and one-sided recordings, swap stereo channels, mix to mono, and adjust three-band EQ. Export H.264 for broad compatibility or HEVC for modern compression. Export audio as CBR/VBR MP3, AAC, Apple Lossless, WAV, AIFF, or CAF; choose bitrate, sample rate, channel layout, PCM bit depth, metadata policy, and a custom output filename. Open the File Inspector to review container identifiers, internal codecs, FourCC values, track rates, audio sample formats, and embedded metadata. Export processed audio samples as CSV, MATLAB MAT v5, or formatted Excel XLSX data. Optionally package any exported media or data file as ZIP or GZIP. ZIP supports compression levels, AES-256 encryption, legacy ZipCrypto compatibility, and generated strong passwords. Media processing is performed on the device. Your media is not uploaded to a server.
