anyone know if it's possible to record AT853's > batt box > iphone5?
is there such an app out there?
asking for a friend who wants to get into taping on the cheap.
-
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?
-
the adapter is totally different. i would suggest he look at an M-10 or other small inexpensive recorder
-
With the original iphone connector, you could look at using the Tascam IM2 or IM2x mic attachment for an iphone, or the IXJ2 for getting a mic/line input into an iphone.
Couldn't tell you about sound quality, but for $28 it's hard to picture that you could get into taping any cheaper if you were an owner of an iphone 4. Not sure even Fisher-Price could match that for low pricing. :P

Rode iXY for iPhone is an alternative. Here's a recording with one on Dime - I still don't know what to think about it:

Interesting!

That sounds like a very cool idea, it would be interesting To see.

Already mentioned, but Tascam IXJ2 for iPhone/IOS devices. ($60-80)
Would like to hear feedback on the IXJ2.

does not work with iphone 5 though
tascam is working on a iphone 5 device and adapter cable for the 4 devices
i would be more worried about run times on these things then anything else though
also wonder what happens if you get a call or txt
-
I've used the Tascam iM2 with a lightning pin adapter and can confirm it works and can recommend the iM2.
A tip. If you can't get the recording to start in stereo, turn your iPod off and on again, so you'll want to start recording 5 or 10 minutes before the show starts in case you need to do so. I believe this is a problem with the app I was using, not the mic, but just so users know.

I would definitely put the phone into airplane mode to turn off cellular/wifi/bluetooth if I were to record on it. Hopefully helps with battery life, but I wouldn't want to risk what incoming calls or text do to the recording.
I'm sure I could live without my phone for a couple hours at a time during recording sessions, but giving up your smartphone and its capabilities and communications while recording is probably an issue for individuals to consider. Nice way of saying that some people have a serious smartphone addiction. :P

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.

is this th app you use https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=tascam%20iphone%20app&source=web&cd=5&ved=0CDMQFjAE&url=https%3A%2F%2Fitunes.apple.com%2Fus%2Fapp%2Fpcmrecorder%2Fid481055155%3Fmt%3D8&ei=OP3IUcOgF6j00QHL6YGgBw&usg=AFQjCNESijF-EzwFW-NzOjFLCoygyrCBkA&sig2=KlH4jrytHYa32jSW44wG-w&bvm=bv.48293060,d.dmQ
Can you confirm you can use the app without the tasam device connected
For example record as a handheld using the iphone mic
As a free app it might be worth having evn without a tasam device
Just got this email too http://www.soundprofessionals.com/cgi-bin/gold/category/WES_24JUNE2013

I was just playing with this app today. Yes you can record using the mono mic of the iphone.
As for using your smartphone as a recording device, how buy another iPhone used? Essentially an itouch with a nicer camera. I have a backup iphone I found for $140 in newish condition. Clean ESN.

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.

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" :P

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

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?

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?

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.
