You don't need expensive gear to record a song - just an iPhone 8, apparently
Graham of Recording Revolution has made this contribution to the wonderful world of ios music making.

Would love to see the project file. The vocals sound pretty great, especially considering the mic.
To be honest.
Anymore, I just plug my phone into the mic line of the mixer and use the Audioshare mic with Rough Rider and the free IK vocal app and it sounds not to bad.
The mic on my iPhone seems better than the iPad and the mic I bought at Guitar Center
I’m a big believer in that I lack nothing in my iPad to make great music - the only thing that holds me back is knowledge and talent lol
Very Janes Addiction BTW
Dig it actually
The 18 yr old Grammy nominee who uses GarageBand also says he just uses his iPhone mic to record vocals. He puts a pop filter in front of it and gets right up on it in the video.
Good result and good publicity for ios music making.
I have a microphone foam ball that I use it as a glove for my ipod... Awesome 'pop filter'
And pretty good to record on windy situations
Graham is a good artist...and a fantastic businessman.
I’m happy he is now realizing that iOS is an alternative to traditional home studio and hope he will also propose tutorials on this plateform and drain new users!
A £650 phone is not expensive equipment then
I still think the lip syncing sucks

And that’s every few years if Apple get to have their obsolescence self destruct mech installed!
My topic title was a bit tongue in cheek for that reason! Although I suppose it doesn't feel so expensive if you've got it as part of a monthly rental program.
neck is sore
over my head
But now that we are here.
Wow. Didn't ever look at it like that.
Fuck.
Alot of gear for the money on that.
Looking at prices of individual hardware components, and considering all the things an iPhone can do/replace, it seems to be a fair price. But just looking at the price by itself, then yeah, that is a lot of moolah.
Well, the results speak for themselves so no need to go into the merit of the quality of the recording--and honestly, with the way music is distributed these days, does it really matter that much? I tip my hat to this guy, though, in that he stresses the craft of writing, arranging, recording, etc. I've listened to awful sounding recordings for years because I love the song and the vibe of a tune more than whether it sounds clean and professional. A+
i have recorded so may choir/solo files ... i could never get the audio to sound good im surpised
Check out his vids, he has lots and lots of very useful advice.
Yeah agree. I great song moves me however recorded. I still have old demos of bands that just have that certain something that says ‘this is a great song’
By a second hand i5 Win notebook (8gb ram+ 128gb ssd) + 2nd hand reasonable mic + seconde hand Behringer mixer + Reaper and choose from 100.000+ free VSt(i) plugins. You're ready to go for under $300. If you want your hardware new you're ready to go under $500.
And the iPhone is very little without software. I know he’s saying to use a free app, but hey who can resist the call to buy more apps
Yeah I know the computer route can be pretty inexpensive, but I was thinking more like hardware synths, grooveboxes, samplers, loopers, microphones, etc. That stuff is pretty expensive.
Yeah because it’s all a gateway drug to owning your own home studio

I have this fantasy scenario where I have a fully mobile recording studio. I can record anywhere, it is totally self-powered, and I have a control room built into the back of a small to mid sized moving truck. It will never happen, but I can dream.
I think a mini version where you can record living room sessions with multiple people involved would be more realistic, and still a lot of fun.
Hasn’t someone here posted a pic of their VR mobile studio? Sure I remember seeing something like that. It’s a great dream to have!
Sure, an iPhone is expensive, but a lot of people already have one as their daily phone.
The main message I take from this is use what you have and don't let a lack of gear be an excuse for not being creative.
It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking "I need this gear or plugin to make my music better" - I'm incredibly guilty of this myself. But, in reality, what will make your music better is more practice and writing all the bad songs until you spit out a good one.
I don't think he's advocating going out and buying an iPhone to do this, in fact the challenge he throws out at the end is to do your own "iPhone or smart phone recording". The message is more "use what you've got".
