Hey YTTalk,
I recently discovered a very handy tool. You can use your iDevice as a high quality mic if you don't have a good one or can't afford a good one. Please note that it isn't going to be the best quality, and you will have to edit the audio in Audacity for optimum results. Now, let's move on to the tutorial.
--I will add screenshots shortly.--
Step 1. Go on the App Store and search for an app named "iTalk".
Step 2. Download/Install it, and open it up.
Step 3. You will be greeted by a recording screen. When you are ready, record what you need to and name it.
Step 4. Click "Done."
Step 5. You can play it back to yourself. You will see right off the bat that it is pretty high quality.
Step 6. Now, we need to import the file to our computer. Connect your iDevice to your computer & open up iTunes.
Step 7. Click on your device in the iTunes navigation bar, and click "Apps".
Step 8. Scroll all the way down until you see a section called "File Sharing".
Step 9. On the list of apps able to share files, click iTalk.
Step 10. Click your recorded file in the right interface, and save it via the "Save to...." button.
Step 11. Edit the file in Audacity if you wish.
Step 12. You're done! Congratulations on achieving a high quality mic without paying a dime!
Again, this is not the optimum quality in the universe. This is an easy solution to a pretty good mic...for FREE! (Well, you probably had to pay for your iDevice, but...).
I will soon post a tutorial on how to edit this audio in Audacity.
If you guys have any feedback/constructive criticism, feel free to post it here. All questions should also go below. Again, I will add screenshots soon and spice up the tutorial.
