Recording Video On Ipad Then Add Instruments

I was looking for a decent mic to use with my iPad for field recording of acoustic instruments and voices. I run a old-time acoustic jam and the iPad allows me to do minor editing on the spot. Had been using conventional xlr mics patched in through the earphone/mic jack, but was getting noise from the jack and background hum which was unacceptable. In shopping around, the MXL Tempo was the best value of mics which work with the iPad camera connection kit USB adapter. The mic works as advertised, right out of the box. No hum, even at high input levels, which means that instruments don't have to be right up on the mic, potentially bumping into it. The on- board earphone jack is handy, but the normal earphone jack on the iPad gives the best proof of recording quality since it is the true output. All around good product. MXL has a winner.

Great for recording voice and instruments

Recording vocals and acoustic instruments for TV and film production songs.

5 stars! Stable and very easy to adjust level with slider on.

Great idea to be able to add more inputs for recording.

I will be using this for recording vocals, instruments (bass, trumpet, guitar, sax) and synth (strings, piano, etc.). Having tried it on synth samples thus far, it adds a mellowing and pleasing analog feel to the recording quality. Excellent manufacturing and presentation.

I use the mic to record vocals and instruments in my home studio. The pros are clear and accurate recording. No cons found yet.

Perfect bag for a 1-5 day trip. Or use it to schlep pro recording equipment Or instruments or anything in. On your back of course. I didn’t see any scratches or dents. Maybe a scuff on the bottom, but I might have caused that putting it on the floor. Outstanding!

Such a clear, crisp sound.  Excellent for my recording studio for vocals and acoustic instruments.  Love it.

Now this Mic is AWESOME considering its low price. Designed for voice recording and instruments. Gives you that FAT Sound you always wanted. The quality is about the same with more features. Shelf Filter and a (-10dB Cut). It now uses (2) AA Batteries - Finally! My only complaint? The Foam Windscreen is loose and can fall off. Who cares! This thing is great.
