Just for fun – and thinking about making some more substantial videos – I hauled out my lavalier mic last night and figured out how to get it connected to my iPhone. It was a bit of a puzzle until I figured out the right wire. I use Twisted Wave on my phone for audio recording, and once I’d figured out the input it worked right away. I’m really happy with the result. The sound quality is better than I was expecting. It’s yet another file to layer in Final Cut, but that’s ultimately not very much work. I likely won’t cut narration into the majority of my videos, but it’s easy enough just to leave it running just in case.
