    Sounds like ass cheeks sometimes

    Niggas had to do that when we had no choice and was too broke afford real equipment lol Idk why a billionaire music legend is relying on such a low budget approach.

    as an engineer please dont record on an iphone unless ur going for a lofi sound. it works on flight of the navigator and steve lacy's s*** cus the lofi sound fits the artistic vision.

    if u want something that sounds clean tho please just use a good mic. like yes it's possible to take iphone mic vocals and tweak them until they sound passable but man it's sooo much more effort than just using a good mic from the jump.

    make ur engineer's life easier, dont be like kanye

    Can u recc a mic pls

    it really depends on ur budget and what ur recording, but for basic vocals u probably want a dynamic or condenser mic, with a cardiod pickup pattern. generally anything you can find on sweetwater will be a good mic, explore, see what fits ur price range best

    like what kind of music tho

    and are we talking vocals or instruments

  • May 8, 2022

    Kanye does a lot of counterintuitive, occasionally destructive s*** in his life but when it comes to music he's earned the benefit of the doubt. Don't mind the mic quality, honestly.

    One day I hope he will strive for perfection again, not album covers shoot randomly on the way to the listening party or recording his voc on the IPhone.

    But I love that he does it and tries new things to stay fresh, but I feel that he got a “fuck it” attitude after Pablo did not get radio play

    One or the other approach is not inherently better. But the ye approach is more in tune with how I think things should be done. More authentic, less image driven which is only a thing because of labels wanting to ensure a “marketable product”. Back in the days when Miles Davis was putting out four projects a year they were being crafty with recording and doing concept art last minute. Even better now that we live in a lightning speed age, I love that artists can embrace doing their album cover on the way to the listening party. It’s just different approaches and different production experiences that make really different outcomes. It’s all great. Gotta appreciate the s*** Kanye’s doing now cuz it’s really cool in a different way. Although it’s good to have your preferred eras, mines MBDTF

    Mmm Hmm

    Is the shuresm58 or beta57a good?

    Or maybe a yeti?

    Can't go wrong with 57s or 58s, industry standards.

    F*** a Yeti tho

  • May 9, 2022

    If I listen to videos I recorded on my phone with headphones it literally sounds like I'm there, very accurate for 'surround sound', idk about actual audio quality tho (S21).

  • May 13, 2022

    Can anyone find me actual specs on iphone mics???

    Like impedence, frequency response, etc.

    I’m more or less interested in the iphone 8 but any info on models 6 and after would be appreciated.

    I know alot of headphones have the same specs or better, than the Beats By Dre and sell for a fraction of the price.
