Rough recording on an iPad

Malcolm Kindnes · #1 12-20-2018, 04:41 PM

I sing and play directly into the iPad to play songs on Facebook, does anyone know of a mic that plugs directly into an iPad to give better sound quality?

Can you suggest one or two please? I live in Ireland so I imagine I will have to buy online.

Check out the Apogee Mic 96k Lightning and the Apogee MiC+.
(Mic+ is newer model)

It plugs directly into the iPad .. works with various Apps like GarageBand.

Check out IK Multimedia .. they have popular iRig and other IOS products too. Not sure if the have a mic.. but they have devices that you can plug mic or guitar in.

Thanks everyone for your help. I may go for the Apogee MiC 96k, it seems to get good reviews and it looks like a regular mic.

Malcolm I’ve used the Apogee MIC for some time now and it does a wonderful job in capturing sound. Have even recorded me and the wife singing along and picks up everything
Good luck

Might not work for your situation since you want both guitar and vocals. But if you have a need to record just guitar, as JakeStone mentioned, check out the IK Multimedia iRig Acoustic.

Here is a video I recorded, and you can see the iRig attached to the guitar. It just sits in the sound hole, no permanent mounting, and takes just a couple of seconds to "install"

Hope that helps,

I bought a Shure MV88 for "quick & dirty" iPhone recordings while out & about and found it to be much better than I had expected, especially with the free Motiv audio app that Shure recommends for it.
