Feature Request: multiple record profiles that are manifest as multiple main-screen start recording buttons: quick access "record as..." buttons
This is a lovely audio recorder and simplicity is a huge virtue, but I use it for different tasks that benefit from different record profiles. As an example, recording audio of cats or birds, where I set the record parameters to the highest quality possible and then convert to .opus for a manageable file size with good fidelity. Yay, works really well.
Another task is to record a note as a rambling voice recording which would then be converted to text using, say, whisper, which ingests only .wav (or raw) files and expects a certain bit format and layout, and which would almost certainly result in improved recognition accuracy with a voice band filter. The Audio Recorder does this task really well also.
Unfortunately, switching between these two modes requires going into the settings and picking a few options. One mode is not well suited to the other and forgetting which mode Audio Recorder is in means a lost opportunity of maximal feline or avian cuteness or a fairly large processing hassle to wait for some rambling diatribe to convert to opus on the phone and then some ffmpeg hassles to get it into whisper happily.
A improvement for me would be to add an option to save settings "as a preset," select a (short) name for the preset and an icon (perhaps just a color variation of the microphone over a colored background icon, and have add that record button icon and label appear on the home screen. Tap the desired icon to start recording in that preset mode. Long press an icon to either edit or delete the long-pressed preset. "Default" can't be deleted or renamed.
It'd be awesome!
