Chapter 14
Recording in the Field
In This Chapter
Choosing the appropriate recording app
Evaluating stereo microphones
Maximizing the audio quality of your recording
Correctly deploying your microphone
You can’t always break music down into component tracks and mix them to your heart’s content, whether in the studio or on location. Sometimes, you only get one chance to make a recording, and you must make that recording using your iOS device and a single mic. The process of recording becomes really simple at that point — just aim your mic the correct way and tap Record. Everything that leads up to that point determines whether you correctly record the performance or not.
In this chapter, we take a look at the apps you need to make a proper field recording, as well as the equipment you need, and how to position your microphone to get the best results. Find a place next to the soundboard and get going!
