Now, a microphone and apps just made for recording on your iPhone
Finding quality audio gear at a reasonable price is usually
a difficult endeavor. Finding compact audio
gear that travels well is also a challenge. To find something that sounds good,
doesn’t cost a fortune and travels well – Uber Cool!
Such is the iRIg Mic from IK Multimedia. This quality condenser
microphone plugs into the iPhone you are already carrying and gives you audio
recordings which are bound to surprise you. Made of heavy duty material, this
mike feels really good in your hand.
Three sensitivity settings on the handle let you immediately
adjust for a distant song bird, a close-up interview or an ear-crushing live rock
band. Free software apps enables you to
do simple straight recordings with iRig Recorder or for those vocalists out
there, try the also free VocaLive. Both do
great job rights out of the Apple store, and both can be upgraded to give even
more features with in-app upgrades available.
Check out
the video demo of iRig recorder (with optional features.)
With an ala carte menu available, you can get just the
effects you need for the recording types you do. The VocaLive app comes
with Reverb and Doubler already included (once you register). Singers and
songwriters will have a suite of 5 dedicated real-time vocal effects (pitch
correction, choir harmonizer, voice doubler, vocal morpher and de-esser) plus 7
effects tailored to vocal processing (reverb, EQ, compressor, delay, envelope
filter, chorus, phazer) that can be combined on a 3-processor vocal rig chain.
VocaLive also includes dozens of presets to help you get up and running in
seconds. Check out the video demo of VocaLive.
Ever wanted a multi-track recorder? Would you believe a four–track
recorder for only $4.99? Believe it. You can even import songs from your iTunes
library, drop out the vocal track and rerecord the song with your voice. Way to
go IK Multimedia.
Both apps will work on iPhone, iTouch and iPad. And if you
are using an iPad, you’ll want to check out their iKlip, a sweet, simple
adapter that mounts your iPad right onto a mike stand. If you are a performer,
you can take your iPad onstage with you.
