What are people using to quikly capture a patch or jam with decent quality video/sound? Up untill now I’ve been using a Roland:Go mixer to record the headphone output of my mixer into my iphone for better than phonemic quality audio sync’d to the video. I found that this was the easiest most “immediate” solution for when I want to grab a snippet of a patch to post or save for myself.

Lately though the GO mixer is introducing annoying clicks and pops into the audio, so I’ve been thinking about other options.

What have you folks been doing?

I’ve been using a GO mixer for little insta videos - which has been working ok for me.

Not noticed pops/clicks but also just noodling and paying too much attention to finished quality.

No solution to fer here, but curious about other options too.

it was never a problem before for me either. it may have something to do with the phone itself though. I tried using the GO with my iPad and sometimes it happens, sometimes not.

I’m using my iPhone with a USB camera kit connected to my Zoom H5. The stock iPhone Camera app seems to automatically pick up the Zoom as an interface (when the Zoom is in interface mode). I’ve also had good results using Filmic Pro instead of the stock Camera app which gives you far more control over the video, camera (if you have multiple cameras like an iPhone 11 Pro), and audio.

I’ll have to check out my Zoom recorder when I get home. Not sure but I don’t think I have an interface mode. Will check out that app too. Thanks!

I do the zoom deal with my h6, the only sucky part is it has to be powered by batteries while using it in interface mode with the camera kit. Also I’ve had weird issues with clouds causing clicking noises on my videos. No clouds? No problem.

I shoot using a Nikon DSLR and run the headphone out of my audio interface straight into the camera audio in. Works great and little fuss.

Usually just shoot it with room audio on the camera and line in to the recorder and auto-sync it in Premiere

Filmic pro on iPad + a Blue Yeti USB mic connected with the camera connection kit. Not quite as good as a direct audio connection but certainly not bad. Filming + editing + publishing in one device is really nice.

Bought a Go Mixer Pro, specifically to use for this purpose with my iPhone. Complete piece of junk IMO. Poor build quality and design–noisy–just awful. My MixPre 6 is class compliant, and it works with everything but my iPhone. Disappointed with both Roland and Apple.

I use a Behringer UCA-202 (or 222). Cheap, small, bus powered even by the iPhone, direct monitoring headphone out with volume control, stereo in and out (on RCA sockets though). Never had any issues with it and the sound quality is alright.

Thanks for all the responses so far. Some iPhone solution would be best for me, as I dont really need great video, and usually I record for no serious purpose other than share a short snippet on instagram. Its just so convenient to record with the camera I have in my pocket.

I have a usb mic kickin around. Maybe I’ll try your suggestion Joe. :pray:
