Is this a good mic to record vocals? Will it work with iPad 4?

I just used it to record vocals and group scenes for a musical it did great. I have the iPad 3 it works fine with it. It plugs in just like ear buds with a mic.

No, this mic is not a good vocal mic as it is designed as a calibration mic...

Theres a sticker on the box that says "Made for iPod, iPhone and iPad. I use it with my iPod Touch 4 and no problems at all, mic is very clear, buttons are responsive. Im sure its going to work on your iPad too unless the updates will cause some glitch to it that it would not work properly or as it should be. ;) Enjoy!

I can't speak to which would be better for singing but this mic works amazingly for recording speech. I did record a friend singing and playing guitar from it and it sounded pretty good, considering I had it halfway across the room. As for Windows 8, I have no problems with 7, 8 or 8.1.

I'm not exactly sure what the question is asking, but you CAN plug it into your iPhone/iPod/iPad and use that microphone instead of the built in microphone. I've done this several times.

It is working on my iphone 4 with 7.1.2 ( So it will work also in yours i think ) This mic also works with softwares from irig and others ( not only tascam ) Happy Holidays ! Greetings from Europe / Portugal

I'm 99% sure it will. It's a simple mic. It worked with my iPad 3 with no setup required. Plus, I think I read some comments where kids were using it with their iPhones to record their professors in class. And I think some reporters said they used it for recording interviews on the go.

If you can get an output, preferably not too hot, to the XLR in of the iRig, it'll work although you should be able to find a cord that goes RCA to the iPad phone jack. All the iRig adds is the ability to monitor with headphones (which you should need) and control the input gain.

Sorry to say I haven't used mine much BUT, it does work. It will record your voice just fine. When you load MP3s it will also remove the voice track, but because it's blended in, you lose some of the music track as well. But, to just straight record your voice, it works fine. It has 2 external mic's but I would use a plug in. You have to be kinda close to the onboard mic's. I have used the GB10 guitar version extensively and that thing kicks butt so I would imagine this is no different. I have just used it in a very limited way.

For vocals this mic is good. Not sure if this mic (or what type) is best to capture piano, but it can do that too. You would need an audio interface to go between the mic and the macbook, and a mic cable to connect to the audio interface. The audio interface needs to have one input that can provide 48V(phantom power) to the mic as well. Most audio interfaces have this though.

It will allow you to plug a USB microphone into an Ipad but the SD socket did nothing. Also will not respond to a USB storage device (thumb drive).

The mic has a standard USB connector. If a mini doesn't have a standard connector, you'd need an adaptor. Not sure about ipad software drivers . . .

Sorry, I have outdated equipment: iPad 2 and iPhone 4. The microphone works very well with what I have, so I would imagine that it would work equally as well with the iPad Air.

This model will not work on the iPad Air or the 5 series phone. The reason being it needs the 30 pin connector to plug into. I use mine on the iPhone 4S and it is a fantastic mic. You can get true professional field recordings with it. The good news for you iPhone 5S and iPad Air owners is that Rhodes does make a model for you now. It's slowly been hitting some pro audio sales sites or just go to Rhodes website.

I purchased it to use in live streaming and have not used it yet for that purpose. But, I did run some initial tests with it to see how it sounded with and without it. My results were done using my iPod touch 4th generation. Using the Blue Mikey gave my recordings more clarity with less room noise. I still need to test it with loud music playing in the recording since I want to use it for live streaming worship nights with my band. I think this mic would work for you pretty well for the purpose that you mentioned.

You should be able to, but you'll have to buy a 3.5mm headphone/microphone splitter. iPad devices use the hybrid jack (I forget the proper name) and will not recognize microphones unless you use a splitter. This will also allow you to use headphones at the same time for monitoring the audio, if your recording app supports that.

I am confident it will be better than the cellphone mic. I have been very happy with this mic. I record a lot of presentations in pretty large rooms with great success. I initially bought it when I had an iPhone 4. It did not work quite as well with the iPhone 5 but it works great with my Samsung Note 3. For the price it would be worth a try.
