babynbox & dVice work!!  Nicky now makes a cable mod for the dVice to run Schoeps caps and record to your phone.

^
Nicely done!!

i just spoke with jon and he said all tinyboxes and pipsqueaks have the blocking caps on output and can tolerate up to 16V of PIP voltage. when i get my microdot cables ill give it a shot, might work out of the box but i guess it depends on the resistance of the output

the first device i tested it with a few months ago didnt trigger the mic input, in any case its easier to put a resistor inside of a cable than a cap, if you have to go that route

Good job Nick, but why would anyone want to run Schoeps capsules with a phone when those phone mics are state of the art?

where was your gain set roughly?

FWIW i love apogee metarecorder way more than voicerecorder pro. the metering seems off on VC, and there are a ton of extra options that can potentially mangle data if not turned off
apogee is well worth the $5

Gain was at +5 dB
Actually I have them both and used The Apogee for the opening act
I will have to say I agree after one use that The Apogee seems better
and the deal closer us The Apogee has the watch app that works on my Watch4

nice i dont have a watch and had asked here previously (to no avail)  whats the lowest version watch i could use for that purpose (thats really all id be using it for so id rather find a cheap one)

[jerryfreak]

apogee seems easier to export the files as well, i can bounce them to my lightning usb stick directly from the app which is handy, esp if youre going to be away from a computer for a while

Thanks for the samples, Ed. They sound great.

However, I don't really understand the advantage of running the d:vice > iPhone instead of just a very small recorder like the new Sony A10 or one of the Olympus ones. Maybe you could comment on why you prefer running the d:vice.

It comes down to options, one more option that works well isn't a bad thing,
and people said a professional recording with Schoeps mics into an iPhone was not possible.
Well it is possible and me and Nicky did it. We did it well too, not half ass!

My rig is mk41v > Babynbox > R7
Phone recording doesn't interest me, but proving and testing things does.

preach brother. it wouldnt be fun if we didnt try new things

Got it! Thanks for explaining!

OK...getting close to pulling the trigger on one of these.

Has anyone used one with a Pixel 3 or Pixel 3 XL? If so what apps should I be downloading to get everything working?

I don't mind buying an iPod touch to use this, but if I don't have to I'd prefer not to.
