I use my iPad Air for filming (using multiple mics) and editing video. Can this replace my Zoom H4n?

I use this to boost and monitor my mic inputs. It does not replace my H4N for recording...I may send the output to the H4N if the levels are low.

I've never used the Zoom but it looks like it has mics and storage for the recording. The Art solves a different problem as it is a DAC: it is converting 2 channels of analog to digital and 2 channels of digital to analog. The analog connections are XLR and 1/4"; digital is a USB to your computer. It has no mics and no storage.

Hi, Thomas.You can record straight from a mic into your iPad (into whatever audio software that you use: audacity, adobe audition, etc) using this interface with MOST mics, so that will indeed allow you to skip the step of recording into the Zoom and then uploading the file into your iPad or computer for editing. A caveat: if you use a mic with low output, like an Electrovoice RE20, this interface will not get the job done. You'll end up with a pretty loud noise floor, even using the phantom power feature.Even though it creates an extra step, I have found that I generally get better quality results recording into the Zoom and then importing the files into my computer.Hope that helps!

In my case, I didn't really notice a difference between this mic and the one built in the Ipad. I wouldn't spend the money.

I do believe that the I rig is made for Apple products. However you need to go into your settings and set your microphone for external instead of internal that would be the only thing I can think of other than that I would not know. Sorry

I primarily record via iOS.... I apologize but I wouldn't know. I've read great reviews about Apogee products though...

Yes, provided your software allows an external microphone...but even though the mic contains its own battery, it is not sensitive enough to record conversations at a distance (without gain applied by software or another piece of hardware). It will also require an adapter since this mic's connector is a TRS, while apple requires a TRRS...simply plugging this mic into the iPad will yield nothing (some microphones are made to address this connector difference and will work with iPad without an adapter). You will need an adapter such as the mCAM Mic Adapter, which will convert the iPad's 1/8" connection into two separate 1/8" jacks - one for headphones and one for microphone. This also allows for monitoring of the recording as it is happening.

First - I do not have an iPad air. The projector has ports for usb, hdmi, and a universal i/o. Since the iPad air comes with the lightening to usb, that should work, but I haven't tried it.

Yes, I use it for many apps on my iPad. It will work fine with your phone apps for effects and recording.

Hi James007, this VCT-R640 is intended for camera and camcorder with compatible tripod socket hole of 1/4" diameter, 20 threads per inch. I think your iPad Air doesn't have those tripod socket hole. -Ely

Yes, it works ok. However, small type minute detail work is more difficult. You will have to zoom in an out quite a bit to do the fine detail. I am very happy with my Wacom and it works very good with the Ipad Air.

No. This device is strictly for iPad, iPhone, iPod and Mac. I hope that changes in the future to include Android and Windows. This device may be the pathway to an affordable two or three camera studio on a tablet. For the video hobbyist, it has tremendous game-changing potential.

It depends on the quality you want. The Samson Go Mic would be excellent for recording conversations (if you want to record to computer). There are portable voice recorders that are cheaper than the Zoom that should work just fine. It really depends on the quality you want.

If it works on my iPad 3, it should work for your iPad 4. And it's fantastic! I use it to record my video podcast.

Yes. It works with Ipad 2 and Air. Nice unit. My daughter uses it with a tripod we already had.

Yes it works for iPad Air. It'll honestly work for almost anything. But the fisheye lens doesn't work very well in video.

Although I have not personally tried it, the Apogee website specifically advertizes the MiC as a useful tool to capture high quality audio when recording either audio or video from an iphone or ipad. I can see no reason why it would not.

I just used it to record vocals and group scenes for a musical it did great. I have the iPad 3 it works fine with it. It plugs in just like ear buds with a mic.

this is a super mic for recording anything (vocals, instruments) and works as a replacement for your ipad's internal mic for most applications where the internal mic is used. however, i'm not sure if it will enable you to record BOTH sides of a skype conversation. that, i think is app specific, and maybe not possible on the ipad. check out this link (http://lifehacker.com/5827360/how-to-record-skype-calls-on-your-iphone-or-ipad) for more info, and if i learn more i'll post again.
