Topic: recording to an iPhone5?

[DigiGal]

Got this e-mail from RØDE recently, looks like they bought out the app they were using from Audiofile Engineering. . .

RØDE Microphones is excited to announce its purchase of the acclaimed FiRe audio recording application for Apple iOS devices, from leading US based developer, Audiofile Engineering.

Audiofile are considered one of the world’s best audio software development studios across all iOS platforms. This acquisition now makes RØDE the world leader in iOS based audio recording innovation and expertise.

Under the terms of the agreement, RØDE has taken complete ownership of the app as well as the fundamental code. In the next few months RØDE will release improved versions of its existing app based on the FiRe platform, RØDE Rec, and is working on new, advanced hardware.

For the iPhone 4 there's the Fostex AR-4i:

Interesting, to say the least. This means some taper with just a small amount of $$, will buy one of these and consider themselves a "tapir"

WoW! Who knew about all these iPhone accessories...

[vegeta_ban]

there are some solutions for Iphone4 but I have not seen one for the 5

wouldn't they work either way? 

in particular, i'm looking for something that can go headphone in and not lightning cable in (at an extra cost).

maybe that's what you meant for "works with an iPhone4"...

although... if he had the $30 iPhone4 to 5 adapter... it might work, right?

I use that adapter with a stereo input accessory they sell at the apple store, the only complaint i have is that it uses  the iphone as power and doesn't allow you to use external power, i usually like to keep the phone plugged in when i stream etc

Anyone who has used the IXJ2 (or any IOS line in adapter), how many hours does the iPhone get recording?

Rode iXY for iPhone is an alternative.

I've seen one of these in action, twice now on two separate occasions by the same dude. He said he makes really good recordings (24/96 even) with it, but I have yet to hear anything he's made. He said there is an option to automatically upload the files to dropbox and one other cloud solution, but the name escapes me.

I know that you can't play back 24 bit on the phone, don't know about recording.

Well here's my 2¢, I bought a Tascam iM2x and attempted 4 recordings using it with a 4th generation iPod vs using my iphone4 (I didn't trust the calls or texts ruining the recording). The first attempt I recorded the entire show but about halfway through the recording became distorted. The 2nd effort was even worse, the thing just stopped about 30 mins into the show, this also happened on my 3rd & 4th attempts. I will say when it did record it was acceptable, not stellar, but listenable.

I finally tossed in the towel and bought some CA's, battery box, and a M10...I just wish I would have bought them sooner instead of going on the bare bones cheap road. I missed some great shows. The difference between my new small rig vs the idevice & Tascam is night and day. I Hope this helps your friend.

Also, I know this is a older thread, but I'm hoping my reply will still help someone contemplating a idevice mic setup.

Proves you get what you pay for.  So here is my question.  Which is inferior?  An Iphone with external cheapo mics or a zoomie?

Anyone try this?

You absolutely can play back 24 bits on the iPhone. The Onkyo HF Player app ($10) can play files up to 24/192 through the Lightning port if the unit is connected to a DAC that accepts the signal.

That Apogee Jam Guitar Input is clearly mono. But it does say it records in 24/96.
