The discontinuation of Apogee Meta Recorder led me down a rabbit hole. The audio recorder app for the iPhone "AUM" allows multi-channel recording.
So that got me thinking. How to get 4 channels of sonosax (or other ADC) into the phone. It LOOKS like Sonosax l+r in, out via aes, in to second sonosax Aes IN, add in that device's L+R, then usb audio out to iPhone.
THAT enables double midside, ambisonics, and OMT techniques with iPhone as a recorder. So a multichannel rig that can fit in a small bag.
