Multi track record headset mic and iPhone internal mic?

in General App Discussion

Hi there, I was thinking about iphone and how it could be used for journalism, recording important meetings, and similar activities. Recording something like an interview on an iPhone, without special equipment like a Zoom, I’m wondering if any apps can access the earbud microphone at the same time as the internal mics in the phone? The end game would be one person gets the lav mic and the other person gets the phone in front of them.

I saw on both Audiobus and AUM, that hardware input is limited to one or the other, when you plug in a headset the option for the internal mic disappears. I didn’t see the Bluetooth headphones’ mic show up in the input list when they were paired, it sticks with the internal mic. Thanks!

    In Audiobus , turn on the multiroute audio setting and see if that works.

    Interesting option, but it didn’t change the behavior with the mics, as soon as I plug in the headset the internal mic option disappears.

    Some interesting options in AUM Settings with the internal mic, there’s a bewildering list of options on the iPhone as far as which mic in the various arrays you can use. Also interestingly you can force it to use an internal mic when the headset is plugged in. Still just one at a time though.

    iOS generally only allows one input device. If multiroute audio didn’t work (which was a long shot), I think the OS won’t allow what you want.

    I think they added the two input ability to Logic 2 for iPad recently.

    Edit. Update, I missed the part about the headphone mic. While I’m not sure about any specific app, I believe there are adapters to split one input into two, however both mics would record the audio onto one single track. Which could be an issue for you, but could possibly be separated if needed, at a later point.

    I feel like there is another way to do this, but I’m not sure

    Thanks, yeah, the adapter is an interesting idea, I was mostly curious if there was a savvy way to get close mics on two people with the absolute bare minimum of equipment. Maybe a better minimalist option would be to use their phone as the second mic and collect the recording later?
