Better sound recording would definitely be your best upgrade; you may be able to pipe your phone camera in to your PC as a video source (search DroidCam), in which case you can set up for simultaneously recording audio through some better channel – your initial capture determines the extent of what you can do with it, so a good mic -> USB is probably what you want.
“Rationalism” is to normal logical thinking what blindfolded multi-board speed chess is to tic-tac-toe: you can only see in retrospect how anyone could get there from here.
