A friend let me use his new Apogee MiC and I am really impressed with the sound for a $200 mic. Here is a test I made in my hotel room with a Martin LXM (Little Martin) guitar. This test was made with 2 MiC into a Macbook, but you can record in mono on an iPAD with GarageBand.

I have heard really good things about the Apogee MiC. The MiC seems really handy to connect to an iPad.
Thanks for sharing your recording. It sounds great. |

Not to be contrary, but if the goal is capturing a recording one might consider the Zoom H2n ($179), Tascam DR07mkII ($125), or Zoom H1 ($99) before declaring the Apogee Mic unbelievable. Audio technology has really ridden the price/performance curve downward.
Of course, if one is interested primarily in connecting to iWorld, the price goes up.
Darn, am I doing Lawrence's job here?

You are no slouch in this area Fran, your various Mic comparison recordings and other experiments have been fun and informative. 
Of course, I really miss Mark and his great equipment reviews of things like the Zoom recorders. He and I may have disagreed on the product quality of one or two specific manufacturers but he was usually spot-on and created very well written reviews.

Did Mark make such "hi-res" observations? I don't remember him doing such. I do remember him doing great reviews of the Zoom H2 and H4 recorders and other such field recorders. I did disagree with him on the sound and engineering quality of Bose products.
As far as the 96 vs 44 debate, I usually try not to get involved in religious discussions.  My ears can no longer (even theoretically) tell the difference, and having been a member of the Boston Audio Society, I am quite aware of what happens even to "golden ears" when subjected to TRUE double-blind testing.
Keep up the good work Fran...
