Recording with iPhone?

[Skitch69]

I'm curious as to the best way to use my Ax8 and my iPhone my do some recording.
Nothing fancy, just to make a decent sounding quick scratch guitar track.
I know there's a few options out there like Garageband that I can use to make something, but I don't want to use the build in amp models in the app.
Are there any iPhone compatible devices that I can run straight from the ax8 into my iPhone, and also recommended apps to use for the recording?

It might be possible to find a cable that will allow you to record directly.

Otherwise there are these solutions that cost a bit http://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/irigpro/ and http://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/irigproduo/

You could also just use the built-in microphone?

I don't mind spending some cash on a portable audio interface like those, just as long as I can use the ax8 for all my tones and not the crappy ones built into some of the apps.

With the iRig Pro Duo, you would connect the main outs (stereo) to the iRig, and you will get Ax8 tones onto your phone.

Awesome, thanks for the help.

I just saw Mark Day use a Tascam thing - it might be discontinued though - he talks about it in this video

I use the iRig Pro as mentioned by @Smittefar and it is perfect! Simple, cheap, portable, quality...

And you use that to record from the ax8 to an iphone or ipad? What app are you using to record?

Yes! To record a video, just connect the iRig Pro and launch the iPhone "Camera" (sound comes directly from AX8 and simultaneously captures the image). To record multi-tracks, mix, etc...GarageBand works great.

I've been using the irig pro duo (no endorsement I paid $200 at GC) and it works great. Very simple. It just takes over the audio in from the phone once you plug in. Video or and any audio program works with it.

Ended up getting the iRig HD and it works awesome. Love being able to just plug out 2 into it and my normal out 1 to my powered monitor. Then I can have a recording of everything I played during practice so I can really hear everything and determine where I need some more practice.

@Mark Day can you help? Did you update your rig since this video?

To be clear, you DO NOT have to use the Amps in Garageband. You simply use the "MIC" track, and play away. The nice thing about GB on your iPhone is you can multi-track your ideas if you like.

Roland has the GO:Mixer pro. Never used it myself though.
