Better Sound on iPhone Videos - Use a USB Audio Interface
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Feeling like the audio quality on your iPhone videos is a bit lacking?
Did you know you can connect USB audio interfaces directly to your iPhone, AND use them as the audio source in the Camera app? I learned it recently, and thought it was awesome... and now there's a video about it!

That tip about opening camera first is a game changer. If only I’d known that about 6 hours ago!
Dude ... you're freaking awesome! Everybody needs to take a lesson from you on how to simplify tutorials. I am excited to try this with my Scarlett. Thanks brother!
This is the tutorial that I’ve been looking. Thanks man.
Thanks so much for the TIP on starting the cam video app first and only then plug in the usb-lighting cable. After numerous recoding challenges (1 channel only, static ruining the recording, etc) i found your post and resolved my problem completely. i’m using an iPhone 12pro + Focusrite Scarlet solo + RODE NT1 mic.
Yes! Thank you. I have the Focusrite 2i2, and it works, but like Shnapps12 pointed out 2 years ago, you will need the dongle with the lightning jack so that you can power your iphone while recording. Otherwise there doesn't seem to be enough power going to the Focusrite. My next video will be recorded with my Shure 55 mic. Finally!! Can't say enough thanks.
Thank you so much. I didn't realise how important the sequence is in order to work properly. I was doing a few trials and I had no sound and was not able to figure out what was going on. It worked before..... Now I know exactly why.
I have watched more than a dozen video's trying to figure out how to do this!! Yours is the only one that seems to make sense. Thank you!! I'm going to try this today- hope it works!

I had been out of my studio for a while. Funny how easily you forget the Ins and outs. Your video helped me to bring a bit back. Thank you!
I been looking for that tutorial for months, I love you dude
It’s important to note that if your interface is solely powered by USB (like my 2i2), you have to use the dongle that has both the USB A female AND lightning female. That way you can have power coming in through the lightning port while you’re recording. Otherwise, your interface will not receive enough power.

With the 2i2 on the back there is no place to plug in the usb a to b cord
I was connecting the usb camera kit before launching the camera app. Thanks for the tip of launching the camera app before connecting the usb audio interface. I’m using the Audient ID14 and it works on iphone and ipad. Thanks so much!
Very concise video… to the point and exactly what a beginner would need
After 3 years this is still relevant. Amazing. thank you!
I've been on a youtube search for this specific information for at least 72 hrs, and today youtube finally shows me your video.
great and simple solution and well explained. You went right to the point without to many talks like others. thank you man!
Thank you so much for noting the correct sequence! (First set the camera to video, then connect to audio.) I just had to trash some videos because the sound kept cutting out. You have saved me a ton of time trying to figure out what was happening and how to fix it.
Great advice man-works like a charm👏 To help with no interruptions or possible disconnects put your iPhone into ‘aeroplane’ mode before opening the camera/video app. 👍
Thanks!! Worked perfectly for me on a new Scarlett Solo and iPhone Xr. The adapter was the key. 🤘
This also worked with an Ipad, connected to HX Stomp (Line6), with both a guitar and mic as inputs into the stomp. So tnx!
I appreciate this clearly explained walk-through, thank you!
This was really helpful, Thank you so much!
Thanks for the hot tip about opening the camera app prior to connecting the adapter!
Going to try this! Thank you for a well explained video 🙏🏻 I’ll be digging out my focusrite
I needed this info so much, thank you...
This is exactly what I was looking for and what I needed!!!!!!!! I appreciate it a lot!

Much appreciated with your video and explanation / demonstration. Awesome tutorial!
Thank you for the video. I tried it and it works better than expected! My setup: Behringer X1204USB Mixer connected via original "Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter" to my iPhone SE (2016 with iOS 13+) then I use the "Moment Pro Camera App" which has a VU-Meter built-in for proper level setting. This setup never loses the USB Connection to the Mixer even if I go out of the camera app and back in again. The audio of the video even gets played back to the mixer in video replay mode. It works great!

I have encountered audio latency in the iphone videos I took. This means the video and the audio signal is not in sync. This had to be somehow expected. The only way to compensate it was so far in the video postproduction software "shotcut" which I use. There you can set the "Sync" value of the audio to a negative millisecond value (in my case -140ms). Then I export the video and it looks okay.
This video saved me HOURS! Thank you my guy. I used a M-AUDIO Interface by the way and it worked. The camera part should be included in the INTRUCTIONS lol
Thank you so much. This is the only video I found after a frustrating search that helped me record video and sound on my iPhone. It's always those little quirks of the equipment that drive me crazy and you pointed them right out. I'm using my brand new Scarlett Solo third-generation to record videos for our church KZread channel. This is our only connection as a congregation. So, It's really important. Have a great day!

I just got the solo, but doesn’t it require power to function? And does it take power from your phone?
Focusrite 2i2 works with every direction you shared here! Only one thing important is I always have to use charging cable to make sure it can work. I have an iPhone 8 ha ha.
This is the only video on KZread that makes sense on this topic lol thank you I just need more further steps and advice on my setup
I enjoyed this thanks man
Here is an update from my attempts to do this with a Tascam US-4x4. I first ordered a generic camera/lightening adapter and it didn't work. I ordered the official camera/lightening adapter and tried it. The first few times it wouldn't work. The camera app would even stop recording after I hit record. Then after leaving it connected for about 15 seconds before hitting record it started working on my Ipad. I then repeated this on my Iphone 8 and it worked flawlessly! Thank you for this information and add the Tascam US-4x4 as an interface that is compatible with camera adapter and Iphone.

Good point - sometimes the interface needs a little time to boot up and start talking to the iPhone before you start recording, or else weird things like that can happen!
Thanks so much mate - this is exactly what I was looking for as I already have the Focusrite and a Samson condenser mike - thanks!
For those of you having the issue of the recording only coming through one ear or speaker on playback, the solution is to set your phone to Mono in the accessibility settings and on the camera. Doing it only on the camera will not work.
Ty so much for clarifying getting into camera/video app before you plug in. I think that was my problem.
I’m super thankful for this video I’ve been looking for this type of tutorial ❤
Thank you so much Russ this totally works. I use it all the time. Keep doing these informational videos they’re very easy for me to follow and they work.
Outstanding, clear and to the point. 👍
Great video. Clear instruction. Good job.
Hi Russ! Many thanks for your video. Everything is VERY clear! I can tell you that l bought a ZOOM U-44 Audio Interface and l can use this to work perfectly with my iPhone 11. I also used my two Neumann KM 183 microphones. PERFECT!

Does it let you record audio without all the voice going into the left or right channel?
Thanks for this!
Amzing Tutorial! Great fun listening to you telling us what happens if we dont do it exactly as you told us to. Kchhhh
Thanks for the help. I also found a way to bring in audio while recording a video on iPhone. You need first pro camera by moment app. Works best letting you monitor incoming audio levels and mic gain control. Use a small portable MP3 player and connect audio to trrs to trs sliter to get two mic in audio and mic and one to monitor with headphones. Then you get quality audio in the video while recording a pre edit video
Thank you for this awesome video and all the dos and donts!
Thanks for getting str8 to the point !! much love for the info
A wonderful, clear and enjoyable presentation. You are a great teacher. Thank you very much!
Thank you so much. I use this technique all the time with my phone interface too small condenser mics and the Apple USB unit that you explained I’ve been doing it for about a year now this video is absolutely the best in explaining this thank you so much.
Thanks a lot, this video helped a lot.
Thank you for the tip at 3:20. Been looking for this!
Many thanks I have the same audio interface. You save me a lot of time 👍🏼
Thank you so much! Very helpful!
I use M Audio interface for guitar direct line into IPhone 8. I run my guitar amp output to interface input then the TRS headphone output jack to TRRS into IPhone lightning cable. It mutes ambient sound becomes line in😉
Thank you!
Awesome thank you , this is exactly what I was looking for.

Thank you !!! Lexicon Alpha is working!!! You are awesome!!!
Thanks for the info !!!!!!
Thank you for the video. Really helpful. Two questions though. Sometimes my videos will make a clicking sound. I THINK it only occurs after I overload the audio interface. 1) how do I get rid of this? 2) can I get the final product louder? Feels like a “can’t have your cake and eat it too” situation.
This process works on a UR44. Using this procedure you get sound out of both L and R. If not followed you get sound only out of L side. You can edit later in software and set audio to Mono.
amazing guide. definitely will try this.
Behringer u-phoria UMC22 works with this method
Steinburg UR12 and Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd gen - both confirmed working on my iPad Pro (2018). GarageBand, phone camera and live streaming (twitch/Facebook). Both my electro acoustic guitar and Behringer dynamic mic sound great! Thanks for your videos dude. Stay safe.

It works like you said. I Order thr USB 3 camera adapter from Amazon same day delivery, so I ordered the fifine mixer with built in interface but I forgot that my Rockville Preamp PPA52 which has a built in usb interface on the back panel and followed your prompts and works like a champ. No more using that 2 cent mic on the phone it self.
Thanks man
Thanks bro!
thanks for this video BOSS
Thank you! You’re right it only works if you open the video first!
You said if you plugged in the audio before turning on the camera app, then there would be no sound. Today I noticed my recorded video with my XLR mic had crackling and popping sounds, and I think that’s because I plugged it in before going to the camera app, but I’m not entirely sure. Would have to test later when I get home. Do you think this could be an effect as well?
Thank you so much for this very helpful video sir!
