Excellent explanation thank u!!
I do some amateur voice acting and don’t own a laptop, but own an iPad. I’m
just not sure if you can control the microphone input on an app and I have
to yell sometimes. Do you know any app that lets me control that? This
method of using an iPad could work for casual speaking, but I’m not sure if
I could use something like an iPad when yelling because it may result in
terrible peaks if I can’t control the input.
I love your videos! Forgive me, I’m a very new film maker learning
everything on my own. (and on Youtube, LOL) I wanted to ask (hope it’s not
a stupid question) how do you use Filmic Pro and the Rode Smart Lav
together on your Iphone? Can you? I’m assuming you’ll also have to
download the Rode app? I have an Iphone 4s and want to make a mini
documentary using just the iphone’s apps. Or do I need another apparatus
(Iphone, Ipad) for the sound mic and app? Any thoughts, suggestions, help
appreciated. Thanks!
Hi,
First of all great tutorial….Great effort put in to it.
My doubt is that, i have a Rode Video Mic and i wanna use it with my Ipad
air (mini) but when i use it with my Rode rec LE version it doesnt detect
the Video Mic and records using internal Mic.
I am using a TRRS convertor to convert 3.5mm Video mic output to my Ipad
3.5mm jack.
My question – Is it because i have LE version of Rode Rec and need to
Upgrade to Rode REC full version to make my hardware detectable or is there
something wrong im doing somewhere else.?
Your help will be much appreciated.
Great video! But I have a question. I want to use the Behringer mixer with
my iphone 5. But I want to record the video and the audio simultaniously
just using the camera app. I don’t want to edit the audio and video
together after. Is it possible?
Hi,
I need some help with a doubt.
I have 2 iRig Mics, and i want to use both to capture a podcast program.
Currently i’m using my macbook pro to record the program, it is possible to
use both mics in my computer?
What is your sugestion to use 2 iRigs in one computer?
PS: We recorded a live
Great tutorial and advice!
Thank you! super!
Is there a way to rig a remote wired cable to stop and start recording on
an iPhone 4s? any help is appreciated.
bloody brilliant my friend thank you soooo much… What is best audio
recording for my canon Eos m???????? I appreciate it
Hi there, a really great review that should have many more views. I have a
good question, it is now a year later since you filmed this, … is there a
truly wireless way to record audio on my iPad ? So a mic that is
Bluetooth, and some sort of receiver that plugs into the iPad ? ( I would
love to see a 100% wireless version ) that records real-time audio into the
iPad WHILE it records video. Just wondering if you have ever seen
something like this ? Thanks and thanks for your great video review !
I can’t believe you missed out the RODE iXY and Tascam iXZ!!!!
Hi, Thanks for the very informative video. Do you know of any way to use a
Bluetooth headset to record during a video on Ios7? Maybe there are apps
that can do this? I use my Bluetooth headset with Skype when I teach but
would like to use it to record my video as well. Any suggestion?
Can I hold the irig above the scene like a boom mic.
Excellent video.
thank you, your videos are very helpful, great channel.
Great vid btw
I need to record from my laptop to the iphone via a cable to eliminate
ambient noise. I have irecord on my phone which does a decent job – i just
don’t want to use the built-in mike – but something that would give better
quality (and not interrupt others in the room. Ü
It’s hard nowadays to find such clear comparison videos that explain each
mic in a quite manner and can easily help you take the decision.
I’ve been researching for hours whether I buy Apogee MiC / Rode iXY / Rode
SmartLav+ / Zoom iQ5 / or maybe just the Zoom H6.
The USB WiFi Drive is also something I have never thought about.
Thanks for a very helpful tutorial. I’ve just found out that a new
SmartLav+ came out this month, July 2014! It’s £10 more but according to
RODE has a better mic, cable and jack, so much better sound quality.
what did he use to rec. on the Ipad! can some1 tell me?
if I connect a 4 pole to 2 pole adaptor to my ipad and use a Sony stereo
microphone which uses 3.5mm will the ipad record in stereo?? I want to
record live music.
i simple question: how do you connect – mix : audio and video at the same
time. in your video , i don’t see any connection to the camera-dslr….,
but still looks like a “live video “….can you explain, please. thank you
hey cant i use this app in my samsung galaxy note2….??? :(
48 hundred does not equal 48 kHz
I’m trying to record audio (with simultaneous video) from a mic that is run
into a soundboard and out of the soundboard into the iPhone 5. I have used
the iRig PRE with sporadic results. Sometimes it records and sometimes it
does not. I’m trying to video record a speaker/teacher each week with
quality sound and not room sound. Any advice?
