I personally like the ultimate vr or ultimate voice recorder as it is otherwise known app. the quality is customisable, and recordings can be automatically sent to dropbox or something like that.
as far as external mics go, there are a few to choose from. a lot of them however, don't have any cable, but just connect directly to the lightning port, which I think makes them very easy to get knocked and cause possible damage to the lightning port. the main ones are the zoom ones, which I believe there are at least 2, possibly 3 models of, and which are nice ones, sure make one, but I haven't tested this out yet, and rode also make one, but unless you are going to use it with it's own app only, I found the pick up on it rather quiet and disappointing. alternatively, another really good device, is the line6 sonic port vx. this is not only a stereo mic, but a good little audio interface as well. some of the features of it's app are not very accessible, but a good one that is, will let you hear the sound that you will get from it before using any other app to actually record. it also has a headphone socket for monitoring, which is great for any of the new iPhones which don't have there own. it also has a cable, rather than being directly fixed to your lightning port. finally, it has a mount for any standard mic stand. finally, if you have a larger budget, and a preferred professional mic that you prefer to use, you could get the apogee duet, which again, is an audio interface, with xlr input connections. hope some of this info helps.

I'm not really much into IOS products these days but I do plan to get one of the new iPad Pro machines towards the end of this year and when I do an external microphone will be on the table. I believe many of the standard USB microphones we know of such as the Blue Yetti can be used and I know of others that plug into a headphone jack if you own a microphone that has such a thing. So do yourself a favour in the meantime, do a Google search and see what you come up with, my bet is that you'll come up with enough devices to wet your appetite. -----Original Message----- From: all-audio@groups.io <all-audio@groups.io> On Behalf Of André van Deventer Sent: Sunday, 5 August 2018 6:36 PM To: all-audio@groups.io Subject: [all-audio] using my iphone as a high quality recorder Hi all Something I have been wondering about for some time now. Is it possible to use the iphone as a high quality audio recorder? Not with the internal microphone of which which is of inferior sound quality but by connecting an external microphone? Is there iny kind of app available which you can use to for example to set the recording quality? I am not interested in video at all.
