Hacking Apple iPhone earbuds to get audio for an interview in your next film! DSLR tutorial

@willtruslow Point taken! I worded that wrong, there is agc when use with voice memos, but you can use other manual recording apps like recorder pro

[willtruslow]

the mic doesnt have agc, its the voice memos app. use an app like recorder pro which doesnt have agc

@TOTBFilms yes your right, what i said means that ...."it is actually a mini condensor mic that relies on the iPhone for power." -All the best, Levi Allen

@bestsupscriptions would you look at that, sweet man! i think you probably did a better job explaining it than i did aswell! yeah i figured some people might have done a video or instructables similar to this, but instead of looking it up on the web i decided to just have a go at it anyways and see what i could come up with! your right these apple headphones surprised me quiete a bit!

I made this exact same tutorial awhile ago on my channel.

Question is, will this work with other kinds of audio recorders?

Saw this video posted on Cheesycam. com, also saw that you only joined a couple days ago. Good luck to you and your channel in the future - great tutorial.

@TOTBFilms Hey thanks! yeah the apple headphone mic wont work with portable recorders like the zoom h1 or h4n because it is actually a mini condensor mic that relies on the iphone for power. Good question,

Yeah i created this channel just a few days ago because i wanted to make tutorials and reviews but i wanted to keep it separate from my main work, i just added a link to that in the description

@LeftCoastInternetTV Cool, will check out that link.

I thought so - doesn't the headphone mic rely on something called phantom power, pulling power from the iPhone because it's not powered by its own batteries? At least that's what I heard.
