what's of youtube I sell like Chris Brown I won't hit a girl in the eye but I will review the arek mic and the iRig mic is the first handheld microphone for the iPhone iPod Touch and the iPad it is a condenser microphone digging a little bit deeper into that it's actually electret condenser microphone not electric electric try saying that five times fast essentially meaning itself supplies the power to itself so you don't need phantom power pretty dang cool this is going to retail for about 59 bucks I'll make sure to post the cheapest link to pick this up down below looks very similar to that of an SM 58 you have three gain input options on the middle of the microphone you get low medium and high I found medium to work best for most applications as far as applications go if you're a singer you can use it with vocal live if you're a singer songwriter guitarist you can use both vocal live and amplitude in conjunction if you're not a musician you just want to use speech or voiceover you can use this with their free app iRig recorder the iRig mic is built very well feels really solid aside from the cable it feels a little bit flimsy compared to a normal microphone cable the jack is actually a dual function jack so it sends audio into your iDevice and it also sends stereo audio out so you can real-time monitor you can use these or headphones or even if you want to hook it up to a sound system or PA taking a look at the vocal live application there's a total of twelve effects you can use three at the same time and customize any of those not only can you adjust the presets where you can store up to four favorites on the fly let's go and check out a delay so you get that echo so we can crank up the volume and we can basically tweak every sound effect in here so let's go and jump over to a reverb and that's going to give you that Hall effect you can change the tone the swell lots of different customizations here let's go ahead and turn that off the pitch fix is what you heard earlier so now I sound like t-pain even though I can't really sing is another fun one hmm what's up everyone its Jon Renji and I black eyed so obviously those are more the fun effects now if you're a singer they do include a metronome and vocal warmup tool so you can run through scales you can also import your iPod library and there's an effect that will cancel out those vocals so you can sing and warm up to that we'll go to take a look at the choir effect now if you go to the presets you can actually mess around with octave up octave down and harmonies of thirds 5th and 7th you do need to know some basic music theory to set this up we did have some fun with it using it in conjunction with the four track recorder and that's record a little guitar demo you guys can check that out here there's top of bag to be applauded you're so cool so in decently you treat me why do I put up with such cool cool so you guys can see how we used it in different applications to record the acoustic guitar as well as the voice used a little delay as well as the choir effect now if I had any complaints about this whole setup I would say vocal live as an application is overpriced and the reason I say that is because for $5 you get the full-fledged GarageBand app to 8-track recorder guitars keyboard piano everything for 5 bucks now as far as the iRig mic I think that's fairly priced for about 59 bucks you'll more than likely find it on sale for about 39 40 bucks and I think that sounds very good for the money it's not going to be the end-all be-all studio microphone but you can get some very decent recordings whether you're musician singer songwriter you want to use acoustic guitars vocals drums or you just want to use it to take notes or voiceovers or you just want to have some fun and sing along with some t-pain and some auto-tune with your friends do some karaoke I would recommend that I can multimedia thank you for sending us out it's a very solid product my only suggestion just bring the price down on the vocal I've app just a little bit only because GarageBand is out there other than that everything is really solid sounds good it's built really well really enjoyed the product so I hope you guys enjoyed this review go ahead and close it out have some fun with the bloopers make sure to subscribe if you haven't already and I'll catch you guys later stupid alien Luke I am yours egg father I sound like Astrid ace singing country yay
