I know that it's usually problematic to try and manually sync separate
audio recordings with video unless you do some fancy stuff with
timecodes. I wonder if it would be better to use a separate camera as
well to feed the video into your Mac along with audio from a good mic
and just record that with QuickTime Player. I've heard you can do fine
audio recordings with external gear on an iPhone but I don't know if
that works well with the video recording and whether it compresses
everything before you even get to edit it. Which mic to use for acoustic
guitar is a difficult question. For every three experts you ask you'll
get six answers. From my poking around, a lot of folks recommend a
unidirectional condenser mic. Something like a Shure SM81 or AKG C 1000.
That also means you'll need phantom power for them to operate so to get
them hooked to your mac you'll want to get something like an ART USB
DualPre which has XLR mic connections with a preamp and phantom power
which then goes in as USB into your Mac. Once you have stuff recorded
you should be able to just pull it into Garage Band to edit or use it as is.
So what setup did you use for the sound samples on your site? They sound
great, so I'd go with that.

Hi all,
I am cross posting this to both lists since my question is relevant I think for
both iphone and mac.
I would like to post youtube videos of me playing classical guitar on a regular
basis. I am supposing the iphone camera will do for the video. What is the way
you sound experts would recommend for me to record audio hq?
I am mainly trying to decide if I record on the mac and then try to sync audio
with the track of the movie made on iphone?
Or can I use a good mic that works with the iphone 5 and maybe add reverb or
other minimal processing on computer later or even in garageband in iphone?
Hope my question makes sense.
Thanks for any pointers and suggestions!
Regards,
Ioana
