Dear Martyn
I was doing something similar to your suggestion by connecting my
condenser mic through focusrite directly to my Mac and using Amadeus
which I prefer to Audacity; but this meant getting up from my playing
position to start and stop recordings etc. I found using FiRe or Tape
on my iPad more convenient as I could control everything while playing.
I did then download to my Mac and Amadeus.
I realize you can do that very well from a Zoom, and perhaps I will
acquire one if I cannot replace FiRe; but I found the sound quality of
this setup with condenser mic, focusrite, FiRe and IPad/iphone good
enough for evaluating progress, or the lack of it (more often
unfortunately).
But I will keep your suggestion in mind, thanks Martyn,
Regards
Anthony

Dear Anthony,
You might find it helpful to download your recording onto a PC or
tablet (from whatever recording device - I use a Zoom H2) and then use
software like Audacity to produce a recording as you would wish it ie
without ridiculously excessive 'sound engineering' with, as you say,
things like the added resonances of GarageBand.

And no, I'm not on commision!

Dear Luthenists
I am looking for a very simple app which will recognise the
presence of a mic and preamp such as Focusrite connected to the
lightning connector of my iPad or iPhone, but which will make a
single
track mono recording of my lute without the unnecessary multitrack
complexities and added resonances of GarageBand.
I used to use the excellent app FiRe, but it no longer works, as it
hasn't been updated; I then used Tape by focusrite which worked
alright
on my iPad, but now has become temperamental. Impact by focusrite
apparently works well but only for audiovideo. Rode Rec Le looks a
good
candidate but apparently it only works with a Rode mic (at least that
is what they claim). I use the excellent Voice Recorder Pro for
casual
recording with the internal mics on my iPhone, but I don't think it
can
recognise an external mic. If anyone has found and uses successfully
such an App, please let me know on or off list.
Thank you for your help, it will be much appreciated.
Regards
Anthony
