Recording video on an iPhone
I'm curious about what is the easiest way to record a video on an iPhone (6s Plus) with decent audio.
I've got a Line 6 Sonic Port VX that would probably work. But I'm curious about something better, like recording the audio with an SM81. Anyone have any experience with that? Recording a video on the phone and using a good external mic for the audio? Thanks in advance. |

This is exactly the kind of thing I’m looking for. I tried earlier with my Line 6 and with that mic plugged in it just completely kills the sound. I’m not sure if I’m just not using it right or if that’s not something it could do. Any idea if this thing would work? The iRig PRE, instead of the PRO. https://www.google.com/shopping/prod...iABEgIQt_D_BwE |

So I’m an idiot. I just figured out that my Line 6 does work perfectly. But apparently, when I play back the recording, I have to remove the lightning cable from the port in order to hear it. Oops.
But I still might look at one of these iRig Pres so I can use a better mic than the Line 6. It’s not a bad mic, for what it is. But I could do better with my proper mics. |

I recently bought a Shure MV88 for my iPhone. It is much better than I expected (I figured it would be a fun toy...but it's actually quite good). I recommend it for quick iPhone recordings (audio or video).
Is it a KM184 through an API or Neve? No! Not even close. But it's really good for what it is & much better than the built-in mic.

I just ordered one of these http://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/irigproio/ This will be after using a few different USB/Lightning mics and being disappointed. I've been posted some one minute lessons, short clips of vintage guitars, etc on Instagram (BTW) and struggling to get good audio...

That’s one of the things someone posted earlier. It looks like I could probably get away with the iRig PRE. The Line 6 isn’t bad. It’s pretty good, for something I got for $100 used. But it certainly isn’t high quality. This is a really rough clip of something I was messing with yesterday using the Line 6, trying to figure out how to get it to work. The mic was sitting on a leather chair and you can hear it slip in the beginning. It does sound a little weak though. I’m certain I can do better if I record in a better scenario and room. Ignore the rough playing. https://vocaroo.com/i/s1OF5bFxyURO I am thinking I might be able to use an external mic, run it through a preamp, plug it into the Line 6 and use it that way. I’m going to try that before I get the iRid PRE. |

You could check out the Zoom recorders too.

Sort of a side question for anyone who's been following along...
This was tracked in PT and shot on a phone, and then synced up in Final Cut. The sync was dead on. But as you can see, on Facebook it's not; the track's ahead. Is this something that Facebook's known to do? Dang out-of-sync Video. She's playing my Ibanez, btw. Nice strummer. Last edited by Brent Hahn; 07-04-2018 at 04:36 PM. |

There's a stereo version of the PRO, the PRO Duo, but the standard IOS video app doesn't deliver stereo, at least it didn't last time I checked. But a third party app like Movie Pro does provide a stereo file. Fran

Wow. Thanks for that. That’s the explanation I wanted, but couldn’t find anywhere. Not to a level I could understand, anyway. I did find an article where a professional voiceover artist talked a little about the difference. He said the quality isn’t really noticeably different, except probably by the professional mixers and engineers who use these files. |

The Zoom recorders do have nice sound. I used to have the H4. It wasn’t easy to use though, so I ended up getting rid of it.

It didn’t seem out of sync to me, but I was watching and listening on a phone. |

Good to know. I tend to obsess.
