#Twistedwave review portable
The Tascam iXZ is the first one I've seen that really boils the features down to the basics in a very portable package, while still accepting a phantom powered studio condenser microphone. While we wait for the ultimate audio interface that connects to the iPhone via the dock connector with a digital signal, other products some to be coming along to fill the gap.
#Twistedwave review professional
It seems that recording professional audio into an iPhone was never part of Steve Job's master plan. So I figured why not be the first to review this affordable audio interface and see how well it works? I don't usually buy new gadgets for which I haven't read a review previously, but at $50 I couldn't resist. The Tascam iXZ just popped up on my radar. In the meantime, for 80 bucks, and something that is truly pocketable, this is not bad at all. but the ship dates keep getting pushed back. There are a couple of other interfaces in the pipeline that will allow us to use the 416 in the field with iOS. I had equally good results on the original iPad. And it may save your client's bacon when you are nowhere near a studio and they have an emergency. You will not want to try to narrate a documentary with this, but certainly for tags and short 's not bad at all. You then return to TW at the end of your read by double clicking on the home button and selecting the TW icon.

Twisted Wave will continue recording in the background with no problem, and will indicate this by the red bar notification at the top of the screen. In either case, iPhone or iPad, you can start recording and multi-task.that is, switch to the email double clicking the home button, and selecting the email icon. Note: switch the iphone to "airplane mode" or you may pick up some RF noise, and be disturbed by notifications. You really have to be careful to hold the mic very is very sensitive to movement and wind. I have ordered an extension cable, so that I will be able to read a script off the iPhone while recording. I worked it about 5 inches away to the side, at about a 75 degree angle, to minimize plosives and wind. I set the volume almost wide open.with the limiter on the iM2 switched off. 1: 416 2: Tascam iM2 3: iphone built in mic.
