iPhone 16 Pro Max audio option in video recordings

Interested in using the new audio cinematic option in recording video. Tried it on my iPhone and it is amazing with AirPods 4. I'm wondering now if exporting a recording with this audio setting to my Mac will allow me to keep the "surround" audio when editing in Final Cut Pro - or will it be reduced to standard stereo?

Any advice welcome . Thanks

Please Allow Internal Audio Recording with QuickTime Please allow internal audio recording in QuickTime when recording screen. Yes I know there’s multiple third party tools to be able to do this. The amount of threads asking how this can be done is surely an indication that this would be a welcome feature 🙏 Not sure what the reasoning is behind not being able to? In 2024 and well into the age content creators it would be a show of respect for creatives (Apple’s bread and butter).

Recording audio (direct feed into iPhone) with video Ok; am thinking this is an issue that others may have already reported. I took delivery of a new 16 pro max a few days ago. An upgrade from my old 11 pro max. I record and video/stream dj sets for social media and soundcloud. On my 11 pro max I did this by sending the output from my mixer into an audio interface (Art Cleanbox Pro). The sound was then sent from that, via a 3.5mm RCA, into my phone using a Rode TRRS connector into a lightning adaptor - into the phone. On my 11 pro max this worked brilliantly. I assumed that for it to work the same on my new 16 pro max, all I needed to do was purchase a TRRS to USB C adaptor. Have done this and tried it out. At first the sound was very quiet and muffled - but I had kept the sound levels on my mixer and Cleanbox Pro at the previous settings that worked for my 11 pro max. Fair enough - I increased the levels. Got them to the desired volume, ensuring they’re not too high as to distort. But the sound is still very muffled - to the point where it sounds almost underwater, or recorded in a large room. Definitely not clear or of a quality to be able to use. The phone is picking up the direct sound input - I test this by turning my speakers up/silent. This makes no diff to the finished video, so I know the USB C input is sending audio into the phone. Have checked out solutions online - have made sure my camera is recording stereo (not spacial) etc. Is there anything else I should be doing in settings? Reading others’ comments I’ve seen there seems to be an issue with the 16 pro max recording direct sound input when recording video - is this correct? This is massively inconvenient - recording/streaming music video is the biggest use I have for my phone. Is this a known 16 pro max issue and can it be fixed?

Audio Enhanvements diaspaper When I change the Audio configuration from stereo to dual mono, the audio enhancement options disappear. This is odd because I created a video right before this one and changed all the clips to dual mono and the options were still there?
