Perfect mic for me (I’m reviewing this as an iphone user, but this mic also works with ipads and Apple computers.) I bought my first smart phone a couple weeks ago, and chose the iphone simply because it was smaller than most of the others I was interested in and would fit in my pocket. I’d heard of garageband but thought it was probably a toy app. Then I found reviews of the Apogee Mic which, when combined with an iphone and garageband, could actually record very good sound. That’s when I got excited about my new phone! I’ve bought thousands of dollars worth of home recording gear over the last 25 years, including several microphones, but the sound that I get from this Apogee Mic 96k with a bit of Garageband reverb is better than most of the sound that I’ve gotten in the past. I’m no professional engineer, and probably made a lot of mistakes with my other complicated equipment, but this iphone/garageband/Apogee Mic combo is dead easy and great sounding. The main control to set…
From a voice actor – Great mic, but make sure you have your pop filter. I do lots of voiceover work. This is the mic I am using for most of my auditions. The setup is easy, just remember that on the IPAD/IPOD, go to the privacy section and make sure your audio application is allowing the use of a mic. The mic is small but it is good at isolating background sounds and focusing on the voice.I do English and Spanish voiceover work and with the rolling r’s and using the letter S, a pop filter is mandatory. For English the pop filter will soften the S and T as well. I still use my EV RE20 for final production but if you have a great voice studio, you could possibly use this for final production.I wish the included cords were longer. I also wish it had an included headphone jack for monitoring.Having said that it still deserves 5 stars.
Doesn’t Work With iOS 11 Warning, the microphone does not work with iOS v11.0.2. If you have already upgraded to v11 of iOS then delay your purchase until the issue is resolved.
