The recorder enables you to record audio input and manage your recordings.

Recording configuration

In order to do a proper recording, you should use a microphone. Particularly if you need to play tanpura or tabla with your phone at the same time.

Here is an example, which works nicely:

iPhone, with Rode SC6 connected to a headphone + Rode microphone

This example uses:

  • A phone
  • If required, a lightning to 3.5 mm headphone jack adapter
  • A Rode SC6 device, which enables you to plug at the same time one microphone along with a headphone
  • A Lavalier TRRS microphone (like Rode SmartLav+, Shure Motiv MVL/A, …)
  • A headphone

This is a comfortable configuration, at a very reasonable cost, and very efficient.

Make a recording

The recorder is easy to use.

First, you should select the recording quality: record quality selector

  • either 24 bits which is nice for post processing,
  • or 16 bits which is sufficient if you just want to replay the recording
