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.

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

The MV88 barrel pivots forward on a hinge and rotates 45 degrees to accommodate portrait or landscape record

ing. 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.

Note: If your microphone accidentally becomes disconnected during recording, MOTIV will automatically stop the

recording. The save file dialog will appear, prompting you to name and save your audio.

Keep Screen Awake During Recording

Select the Keep Awake While Recording option so you can continuously monitor gain levels during longer record

ing sessions without the screen going dark.

You can access the Keep Screen Awake option by going to Menu > Settings >

Keep Screen Awake During Recording .

Note: Disabling sleep mode will affect battery time while recording.
