Small mic recommendations for harmonizer experiments on iPad?

Hey, I just started experimenting with Bleass Voices, recording snippets and sorta building a sample pack of my own vocals to use in Ableton along my productions. I record with AUM.

I started with just the iPad mic :) I don't mind the lofi feel for now, but singing live in built-in iPad mic while playing chords and tweaking knobs is super tricky.
I have a Zoom H2n but I think I'd like smth smaller, I can have with me all the time, like maybe a Lavalier mic (although I hear they're not as good quality as bigger mics)

I have an old iPad air 2 still rocking and I have the connection kit lightning adapter thingy.

  • if you have recommendations for cool apps for vocal experiments, I'm curious and all ears :)
    (I also use Tardigrain which I love and it's less problematic cause the workflow is - recording vocals snippet - prior to playing them). I tried Spacecraft but I don't know why, the sound quality is a bit crap. I should try recording with AUM instead of Spacecraft's built-in record button.

Cheers in advance

    ps. I've narrowed-down these few Lavalier mics:

    Rode Lavalier GO: 3.5mm TRS connector, 1 gram, compact design
Rode SmartLav+: TRRS or 3.5mm jack, 6 grams, small and lightweight
Sennheiser XS Lav USB-C: USB-C connector, 8 grams, compact and lightweight
Shure CVL: XLR connector, 21 grams, larger than the other options

    Curious to hear if anyone knows them

    I have the Rode Lav II​ which I think is supposed to be a step up from the smartlav+, and which I connect to the iPad using the Rode AI-Micro. I was pretty underwhelmed tbh - sound is OK but it needs to be super close to your mouth, even with the gain cranked in AUM or whatever. Mind you, I only use it for spoken word stuff. If you were singing, volume might not be such an issue.

    Have not tried it, but this looks good and portable:

    Looks good, any idea if it's powered by an iPad? (my h2n sadly isn't)

    I don't know, actually, I (maybe wrongly) assumed so but no idea really

    Don’t use a lav mic for singing into, it won’t give as good a result as just a basic mic on a stand in front of your gob

    Lav mics are ideal for dialogue and interviews and presenters etc

    Yup. I record everything with my Tula mic. It's small, bus-powered, rechargeable, standalone and USB-C, and acts as an audio-interface. It also looks cool af. I have a couple of tracks up with vocals recorded with tula I can post, but they're not raw audio so not sure how useful they'd be.
