Cubasis - Recording Audio via iPhone Mic
Hi Team, just wondering if there is a way to record audio using the iPhone mic in Cubasis. Obviously have to have headphones plugged in which seemed to remove the iPhone mic input (assuming it can be accessed). Any tips?

This is a total guess...
The iPhone Headphone jack is also a mc input and 'expects' to see a jack with a Tip/ring/ring/sleeve ... ie 4 sections on the jack. That's two for the headphones and one for the mic. Lots of headphones have mics in them for phone calls etc.
I suspect the headphones you're using are just stereo, with a Tip/Ring/Sleeve jack ... ie 3 sections. It is compatible for headphone use, just fools the iPhone into thinking a mic is connected. Thus the internal mic becomes unavailable.
Try partially inserting your headphone jack... long shot but worth a try.
Or it could be that when external headphones are used iOS 'expects' an external mic as well... and switches the mic source no matter what.
Id ask over at the Steinberg Cubasis forums as well.
The on devices microphones can still be accessed by the app when a headset is connected.
I use Twistedwave with an Apple Headset (Tip/Ring/Sleve) and I can still select any of the internal microphones for recording.
AUM can also do this so it's a matter of Steinberg adding proper input selection to Cubasis.
Apples own GarageBand uses the built-in microphones rather than headset mic when recording.
So it is up to the app developer to add a more feature rich input selection to their apps
While @Samu is correct that Cubasis could implement this, @ltf3's answer is also correct, and there is a workaround. Cubasis isn't the only app that suffers from this, and even if you do use an app that can still select the microphone, it's a hassle because every time you forget and plug your headset in "last", it takes over.
I keep a couple of these adapters around so that I can remove the mic line from headsets that have a mic. They're cheap (but far too easy to lose).

I don't know if they're still available as I ordered them several years ago, but there should be something similar. The important thing is to find one that has only two rings on the plug end.
Thanks so much for the responses here - really appreciate it. @Samu that's interesting about GarageBand as my quick experiments last night seemed to suggest that Logic doesn't follow suit (on the iPad of course) in this regard.
In Logic Pro for iPad you can disable automatic audio device configuration in the settings and freely select any input and output source currently available.
Wrong thread?
@Samu you’re a wealth of information and a star. Thanks so much. Will try this today.
