I Found the Ultimate Microphone for iPad & iPhone
The iRig Stream Mic Pro is a deceptively tiny wee microphone that is packed full of features that make it a tantalizing proposition for streamers, podcasters and mobile music makers in particular.
IK Multimedia describe it as the one mic to connect it all, and they might just be right...
DISCLAIMER: The iRig Stream Mic Pro was provided to me free of charge by IK Multimedia. There was no pressure for me to create a video for it and they had no say in the content of this video.

I love it! You are my #1 source for GarageBand knowhow. I actually wish there was a way to attach it to a true mic stand as well because I sing better when standing. I love the different polar patterns and eliminating the need for the audio interface is my top reason for considering this microphone. The price tag isn’t bad considering all that it packs in making the need for different mics unnecessary if the range is good.

Thanks for this video, extremely useful. I am on the lookout for a mic to connect to my mobile device for live stream with my band on Facebook and Insta. Would you recommend this mic? It be picking up the sound from the speakers. Thanks 🙏

Wtf were they even thinking? Literally the main reason I won’t buy it… it means we have to have a powered mixer as well … unless there’s an instrument to 3.5 mm adapter?

Great but shame there isn’t an XLR out as well.. and the proprietary connection instead of USB-C out is a bit of a pain if you loose that cable.

Very useful, Patrick! I'm glad you covered the negatives because with a mic at this price range of course there are gonna be quite a few drawbacks. Nice that it doesn't need a camera connector kit or USB hub. Does it draw a lot of power while being used without the separate power supply?

@TheGaragebandGuide Жыл бұрын

Cheers Gav. Not as much as you’d think. It can run off of an iPhone’s lightning port without any extra power which I found quite impressive. IK’s external power plug is only 3A also.

I have an audio interface connected to my ipad, I’ve got the Steinberg ur12, and I was wondering if it would be possible to hook up this mic into that audio interface? Or is it limited to just lighting and usb

LIke you say …. It shines if you just want a simple set up to record straight onto iPad …… nice one!

Did you use the mic to create the video or only feature it when you were singing in a higher register at the end. I really wanted to hear what it sounds like on a speaking voice.. thanks!

Can it be connected to the MIDI input of an interface? I use a scarlett with midi in but im not sure if it’ll work that way

@TheGaragebandGuide Жыл бұрын

No, you’d bypass the interface and connect it to your machine directly.

@@thamilanban I'm not sure what I did, but I just muted the mic and played back my recording and all of a sudden it now works. I even unmuted the mic (so it's hot/live) and it still works. Seems like there was something glitchy but it's working for me now.

I bought one out of the gate and returned it almost immediately. I loved the idea in theory, but either I got a defective unit or the quality was just really poor. I tried several devices, several cables, and several sets of headphones and I repeatedly ended up with mediocre results. The headphone output was useless (so quiet) and the sound clipped even when levels didn't get into the red. I sure hope I just had a bad unit.

@TheGaragebandGuide Жыл бұрын

It is a VERY hot mic. I rarely had to push it beyond 40% for it to start clipping and having to either move it away from my mouth or drop the gain dramatically.

Does it cancel the iPad built in mic? I understand the built in mic is always on. Every iPad interface I’ve tried, the iPad mic still picks up background noise.
