Members ILOVEMYFENDER Posted July 23, 2012 Members Share Posted July 23, 2012 Is ridiculously good. I didn't feel like getting the rest of my recording gear out, and I wanted to do a cover of "A Crime" by Sharon Van Etten. So I started laying down acoustic tracks and realized, this sounds pretty great. Makes a decent amp mic as well. https://fbcdn-video-a.akamaihd.net/cfs-ak-ash4/v/596447/163/187860631343928_40037.mp4?oh=8baed5a9a74207df62ca8 ded374b5e99&oe=500CEC20&__gda__=1343024160_86109d22b56cb04dd6e09091cd6d5a3 4 Everything was mic'd with the iPad and recorded into GarageBand. Used a vocal bullhorn effect on the bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TravvyBear Posted July 23, 2012 Members Share Posted July 23, 2012 Didn't get a chance to listen, but I was going to chime in to agree that the iphone/ipad mics are actually pretty awesome. I got a little iphone demo in the works, I'll post it up soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that I sound at my best when I do things a bit lower, and if I had more EQ control I'd definitely add some filters to reduce the edge. But it's an iPad, it had its limitations.

Members shawnd2007 Posted July 23, 2012 Members Share Posted July 23, 2012 iPad 2 or 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members diocide Posted July 23, 2012 Members Share Posted July 23, 2012 Yeah what version do you have? I have an iPad 1 and an iPhone 4s. The Mic on the 4s is exponentially better than the one on the iPad 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Is there one mic on the iPad, or are there two? I really should break down and get an iPad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ILOVEMYFENDER Posted July 23, 2012 Author Members Share Posted July 23, 2012 It's an iPad 2. It has one built in mic, a small little condenser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 It probably uses one of those little Panasonic condenser capsules. They only cost a couple of bucks, but you can make a surprisingly decent sounding mic with them. That's what is typically built into the little $35 condenser mikes that are floating around online.

Members delayed delay Posted July 23, 2012 Members Share Posted July 23, 2012 I hope to be getting an iPad real soon for exactly this reason.... This thread is encouraging to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
