Use an iPhone 12. 11 & 12 both with amazing improvements in sound capture.

I sure like my Apple iphone 8+.
Almost everybody likes new phones especially in the holidays.
I’m very careful with my phone - it’s all my music writing. The icloud can be beneficial technology

I would suggest that if you have a good mic, just get a decent interface that will plug into a lightning port, and then plug the mic into that. I have an iRig Pro, and with a battery, it can also provide phantom power if you have a condenser mic.
Otherwise, I’d suggested the Audio Technica AT2020 USB. I use a regular AT2020, and I’ve had great results in my little home studio. The USB version is the same mic, but uses a USB connection. You then need the Apple Camera kit. This provides an interface to plug the USB cord from the mic into the lightning port on your phone.

If anybody wants it.

It’ll take some time - Mexico to the United States.

Do you use an app on your phone to record onto? Hope this finds you well! |

I ordered the "runner up": Comica CVM-VM10-K2 Smartphone Microphone Kit with Tripod - External Video Shotgun mic for $50. It looks perfect. Works with iphones and android and others. Has a tripod and a phone holder in case I want to do videos, and a very small footprint. |

It's fairly intuitive and easy to export from. If you are using something different, I'm all ears! Paul, I just use the phone's video camera or, if it is just audio, an extremely simple app called "voice memos." I looked up the one you use. I think it is spelled Hokusai? I will try it. On my last android phone I used a wonderful app called "RecForgeII." Straight forward recording. You can play back at whatever speed and adjust the pitch to whatever key you want. You can have it repeat any part of the song and you can choose different mp3 settings. Android is so much easier to deal with as far as downloading and sending music to others. Unfortunately it is not available for iPhone. |

Good mics can start to get pretty pricy. So, before you make that kind of investment, you want to make sure that your current mic is the issue. So first, buy a better guitar. Perhaps a Collings or Santa Cruz. Or go all the way and get a Taylor 900. Don't dump a bunch of money into a pricy little mic when something as simple as a new premium guitar will solve the trick.

I have some good mics, boom mic stands and a Zoom 8 mulltitrack Recorder/interface/controller along with some basic version of cuBase, but I do not have the floor and desk space to leave it all set up. I just want to turn my phone app on and record. |

Well, that opens up another good option. If you have good mics but not enough room, simply expand your floor space. Knock out a wall or two. Or skip all that work and just find a bigger house. KISS!

Thanks Paul. You make a good point. I am not going to sound like Billy Strings with a nice microphone! I will now be sending my $50 mic back, and saving up for the Preston - Thompson guitar. |

Maybe there's a mic/recording combo (that also allows easy sharing) that will 'transpose' a version of jingle bells into a minor key...?

Thank you for your advice. You really are the big picture guy. Now that harvest is over and planting season is far away, maybe you could grab your hammer and saw, come out west and move some walls, or better yet, bring your check book and drawings for a recording studio. |
