thanks everyone, I have it all sorted now.

Indeed. As for stereo, that needs to be enabled in Voice Memos settings. It should be an obvious option to look for. I barely use anything else anymore as a result.

Thanks, that makes sense. I've got it now :)

I just opened my Voice Memos app and the record button is in the middle on the bottom of the screen. Now yours could look a little different if you haven't entered it into the recording section. Sometimes when you open the app for the first time it'll be where your folders are within the app. But once you click in that section then it should open the app in that same place every time which would show the record button at the bottom and give you the option to do the two finger double tap to start recording.

When you open the Voice Memos app, you should be able to do a two finger double tap to start a recording instantly. And as long as your screen is unlocked and you're in the app you should be able to do a double tap to stop recording. They did add a few things to Voice Memos like transcriptions and things like that, but none of the stuff they added should affect the way it records.
