\"\"Finding quality audio gear at a reasonable price is usually a difficult endeavor.\u00a0\u00a0Finding compact audio gear that travels well is also a challenge. To find something that sounds good, doesn\u2019t cost a fortune and travels well \u2013 Uber Cool!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Such is the iRIg Mic from IK Multimedia. This quality condenser microphone plugs into the iPhone you are already carrying and gives you audio recordings which are bound to surprise you. Made of heavy duty material, this mike feels really good in your hand.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Three sensitivity settings on the handle let you immediately adjust for a distant song bird, a close-up interview or an ear-crushing live rock band.\u00a0\u00a0Free software apps enables you to do simple straight recordings with iRig Recorder or for those vocalists out there, try the also free\u00a0VocaLive. Both do great job rights out of the Apple store, and both can be upgraded to give even more features with in-app upgrades available.\u00a0\u00a0Check out the video demo of iRig recorder<\/a>\u00a0(with optional features.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

With an ala carte menu available, you can get just the effects you need for the recording types you do. The\u00a0VocaLive\u00a0app comes with Reverb and Doubler already included (once you register). Singers and songwriters will have a suite of 5 dedicated real-time vocal effects (pitch correction, choir harmonizer, voice doubler, vocal morpher and de-esser) plus 7 effects tailored to vocal processing (reverb, EQ, compressor, delay, envelope filter, chorus, phazer) that can be combined on a 3-processor vocal rig chain. VocaLive also includes dozens of presets to help you get up and running in seconds.\u00a0\u00a0Check out the\u00a0video demo of VocaLive<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ever wanted a multi-track recorder? Would you believe a four\u2013track recorder for only $4.99? Believe it. You can even import songs from your iTunes library, drop out the vocal track and rerecord the song with your voice. Way to go IK Multimedia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Both apps will work on iPhone, iTouch and iPad. And if you are using an iPad, you\u2019ll want to check out their iKlip, a sweet, simple adapter that mounts your iPad right onto a mike stand. If you are a performer, you can take your iPad onstage with you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
