Is it possible to connect a dynamic or condenser mic directly to the iPhone and record via GarageBand? I am looking to develop a cheap on the go recording studio for my electric

If you want to use a condensor mic (requiring phantom +48v) then you will need something along the lines of a Focusrite iTrack solo recording interface. It's a little on the pricey side, but I use some of their kit and it'sall good stuff 🙂 However, for something a little more realistic in terms of price, I can't really fault the iRig range by IK Multimedia...

Hope this helps!!

If you want to go for cheap, then a condensor mic is out of the picture because they are more expensive to start with (and require an extra preamp).

If you think about it, you have already the cheapest solution, your ear buds. IT is a little microphone. Technically you can plugin a dynamic mic into the iPhone with the right adpater.

If you want to get a little bit above "Fisher Price" quality, get the iRig and a decent Mic, doesn't have to be expensive to start with.

So is there a way of getting a feed from a mixer and record into garage band on my iphone without having to use

an interface?
