Will this allow me to use ann xlr mic for recording audio for iphone 6 plus videos? What about using an xlr mic to record audio in Garageband?

See Andrew's reply. Just be aware that you may not be able to monitor the audio with headphones while recording. I tried doing that with an android phone (Galaxy Note 3) which accepts a 4-conductor mini-plug, and the mini-jack headphone connector was only active during playback. iPhone might allow monitoring during recording, I don't know.

Yes. It allows for the connection of a superior mic with an XLR connection while shooting videos with the phone. If you're using Garageband on your phone then the answer is yes to that as well. If on your Mac then this probably isn't what you need as it is designed to work with the unique iPhone connection. For a Mac an external device is superior such as the Focusrite line of pre-amps.

I don't know. I purchased this microphone, plugged it into my iPhone, and tried recording. I could not tell any difference from recording with the internal microphone. But then the real problem: when I attempted to pull out the microphone the outer housing pulled off the plug and the wire attached. It took some work to remove the plug from the socket on the phone. I also tried the iRig microphone. I can't see that it does anything either. I've tried them on my iPhone 5 and on an iPad 3 and 4.

You need an adapter for the iPhone because this isn't designed for the iPhone. The adapter should allow you to plug this mic into it and then the adapter into the iPhone and it should work.

If you use a conversion box, yes. This specific model uses an XLR interface because it requires phantom power (three prong, cylindrical shape). You can spend about $100 on a usb conversion box and use this model. I Use an AKAI professional ($250+) which can handle up to 4 mics and 4 outputs ALONG WITH the usb cable. All that said, you can bypass the whole thing and buy an "AT2020 USB". It hooks directly up to the laptop and there's no other equipment to buy. Warning: If you use an AT2020 USB, it will eat up your battery life, you NEED to have your machine plugged in to use it for a long duration. Reason is: the mic takes about 40 volts of power and audio recording and engineering is a processor intensive task (more CPU work = more power being consumed), it also takes a lot of memory so your HDD will be running non stop. If you're using this for fun, get the USB and save the money. If you're looking to get into more serious work, use the XLR as it's compatible with more high end equipment.

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.

I use my to record to my Mac but I also have and M-AUDIO FatTrack Pro mixer and a PreSonuys Tube Prev2 amp to supply more power to the mic. Sorry it took my awhile to get back to you!

I am not familure with apogee one, but I use a focus rite Scarlett I plug my mic in to the focus rite and then into my MacBook Pro then record using GarageBand. Hope this helps I have also used a cheap mixing board because we were using multiple mics it had a USB so we plugged it into the Mac and it worked just fin.

Not all lav mic work with iPhone 6 and this is probably the case with this mic. I know that Rode makes a lav mic specifically designed for use with iPhone.

I have a feeling there's a continuity relationship between the iSoni and your iPhone. You answer a call on your phone by pushing the "answer" button on the non-plug end of your cable which opens the circuit to the mic. I don't think you can open the mic without the iPhone plugged into the complete circuit. You'd be better off buying some type of mic that's specific to recording through the mic input on the back of your computer. Might even be less expensive than the iSoni.

It depends on your computer. If you have a Mac then the answer is yes. You can use the included Quicktime Player or iMovie as well as GarageBand. It also works with the built-in dictation in Mac OS X 10.8 or later.If you have a PC, then you would need to purchase an application that records via USB.

Theoretically, yes, but as there are no on-board mics with this unit you'll still have to have external mics and cables to get any audio to your iphone. This is a semi-serious piece of kit, intended to be used with DSLRs and other budget-to-pro cameras or as a stand-alone field recorder. What I would do is either record to the DR-60D and the merge the audio with your iPhone video in post, or upgrade your iPhone to something cheap like a canon 60D/T3i, which is what you should start with if you're looking to create better video. You should also look into the DR-40, which has some pretty great on-board mics. I highly recommend it. If not, the DR-60D is fantastic, I've filmed all over the country with it and I love it. Or perhaps you should look into an external mic for you iPhone :)

Yes. I use the line-out in live and practice situations to run to a mix board. As far as cables, you can find 1/4" to USB adapters pretty inexpensively, as well as 1/4" to 1/8" (computer/headphone size plug). Either one of those should enable you to record a single instrument with Garageband. If you're looking to record frequently, or record more than one instrument, I would look into a interface, like the ones offered by M-Audio or Presonus (just search Amazon for "m audio interface"). With an interface, you would just need another 1/4" cable to run from the line out to the interface. Yes. I use the line-out in live and practice situations to run to a mix board.

No this mic isn't compatible unless you have additional hardware, like an interface that converts analog to digital. Yes you want one one with a USB connection. For use with Garage Band or similar software.

Hi, I am looking to buy a mic to attach to the accessory shoe on the Camcorder.Can I use any mic or do I need to buy a Panasonic mic only? Please recommend a good brand if I can use any off-the-shelf mic. Thanks!

While I do not know Garage Band, it's a DAW so it should, in theory, see all of the inputs on the US1800. I did a quick check and found this link - scroll down a bit to see the questions pertaining to the US1800 and garage band: http://homerecording.com/bbs/general-discussions/digital-recording-computers/trying-record-multiple-track-simultaneously-garageband-333057/I'm pretty sure that it will work, but if not, you can always return it, right?

It works very well with GarageBand. Just follow the directions and you'll have it running in no time.

I have the same microphone and used my iphone4 to record and only got the recording through the onboard mic. The lapel is great but I think it is set up for use with recorders. I use it with the ZoomH1 but you could use a cheaper recorder Olympus VN-7200 Digital Voice Recorder (V404130BU000)
