Really? iPhone humping? I record comedy shows with my iPhone already. Throwing a nice mic by Blue up on top would me a nice bonus.

I don't, however, know of a good program to do the recordings with.

Blue is far better as a professional audio manufacturer than Logitech.
And this new one looks like AB rather than XY mode.]]>Jan 6th 2010 3:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/blues-new-and-improved-mikey-ipod-iphone-microphone-captures/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/blues-new-and-improved-mikey-ipod-iphone-microphone-captures/Jan 6th 2010 9:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/blues-new-and-improved-mikey-ipod-iphone-microphone-captures/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/blues-new-and-improved-mikey-ipod-iphone-microphone-captures/Jan 5th 2010 8:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/blues-new-and-improved-mikey-ipod-iphone-microphone-captures/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/blues-new-and-improved-mikey-ipod-iphone-microphone-captures/Jan 6th 2010 9:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/blues-new-and-improved-mikey-ipod-iphone-microphone-captures/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/blues-new-and-improved-mikey-ipod-iphone-microphone-captures/
anyone? please?]]>Jan 6th 2010 5:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/blues-new-and-improved-mikey-ipod-iphone-microphone-captures/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/blues-new-and-improved-mikey-ipod-iphone-microphone-captures/
But the only XLR thing I've seen for the iPhone and iPods is the Alesis ProTrack:

http://www.alesis.com/protrack

and I also saw this cheaper alternative, a simple cable, although it's not stereo:

yeah. the Alesis is total overkill though.

seems like Blue could make this same device as this Mikey... chop the mic off... then just use the XLR (x2) and gain knob from their very own Icicle device. done.

the 3.5mm is nice... better than nothing... but even then... i'd rather at the very least dual RCA. and (again) loosing the actual mic.

that other cable is going into the iPhone mono mic-level input that lives in the headphone jack. a proper audio device needs to go in through the dock connector on the proper audio-input sections of said connector. (some digital audio inputs in there if i am not mistaken.)

seems like *someone* would've made something like this by now. especially with all the various recording apps... and even 4-track apps these days.

if possible... and if dual XLR (those neutrix style combo 1/4 + XLR would be ideal) turned out to be too bulky... even something with dual RCA + single 1/4" + gain knob + 3rd RCA doing SPDIF (if possible... i forget if the dock can take digital audio input for certain) ... then a 3 position input switch i suppose ... would be pretty awesome. seems so simple i can't believe it hasn't been done.

i can think of a million uses for such a device.
