I love my iPhone and especially keep an eye on the Music category of the apps store. If you have any Apple "i" device it's high time you start thinking about using it as a portable and very capable recording studio. All it takes is a simple wire interface between your iPhone and your guitar if you have an electric guitar, and if you're using acoustic you can use the built in headphone microphone.
In this series of posts I'm giving you an overview of what you need to record, the types of apps out there you'll find interesting, and some things to consider when recording. Along the way I invite you to leave your feedback on each post. Let me know if there's anything I've missed, or anything you'd like to share that would be helpful to others. The more ideas we share the better!
I'm going to use "iPhone" to mean any Apple "i" device you have.
Let's get started:
- Connecting Your Guitar to Your iPhone, iPod, or iPad
- Guitar Effects and Practice Amps for iPhone, iPod, or iPad
- Multitrack Apps for Recording Your Guitar on the iPhone, iPod, or iPad (Coming Soon! Subscribe so you don't miss it.)
- Getting Guitar Recordings from Your iPhone to Your Computer (DAW) (Coming Soon! Subscribe so you don't miss it.)
- Miscellaneous Cool Guitar Apps for the iPhone, iPod, or iPad (Coming Soon! Subscribe so you don't miss it.)
Hey Martin, thanks for the comment and the resource link. One piece of software I really like for quick and easy home recording and that requires nearly zero technical knowledge is RiffWorks.
I do wish more home recording learning materials were geared toward beginners who aren’t electrical engineers.
I'm currently working on testing a handful of Multitrack apps and will release my reviews, recommendations, and tips about those shortly. Stay tuned!
