00:00After our iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max reviews, a lot of you had questions about the audio mix feature with the iPhone.
00:07So I'm going to test it out, show you how it works, also including whether or not it works well with the microphone.
00:13First up, a relatively quiet courtyard next to our office.
00:16A smartphone first, audio mix uses an input to run spatial audio capture and advanced intelligence to distinguish between background noise and voices when recording videos.
00:27This provides amazing sound and capabilities after the video capture, you can edit the sound by selecting edit and then audio mix.
00:34The standard option captures sound in spatial audio with no adjustments.
00:39The in-frame option isolates the voice of the person speaking on camera and can eliminate unwanted voices off camera.
00:46The studio option makes it seem like you're recording inside a professional studio, like the microphones are closely subject even if they're a few feet away.
00:55The cinematic option formats voices like in movies. Voices inside and outside the camera frame are centered on the one track from the screen with environmental modes surrounding sound.
01:05You can adjust the intensity of all the mixes with the slider, letting in more or less background noise.
01:11None of the modes sound like they work as well as a clip-on mic.
