When I quit smoking it was the hardest accomplishment in my life. I cried for days in the fetal position. I love it. I hope you can over come this addiction. Thank you for the great video, Kenny

[@SoftShoeShufflers]

Jimmy, your video was very helpful. Our soft rock band wanted to record audio off our mixer for our website. The only way I thought of doing it was to use a Tascam Pocket Studio, which is much harder to use than a phone. Your video revealed how to accomplish this with a phone. I had no idea these small adaptor cables existed and that they enable audio recordings to a phone. THANK YOU!!

[@abelayearnold]

Hi Jimmy, My name is Arnold Abelaye I'm from Vegas and I'm glad that your video on getting my mixer on to my Galaxy S9 phone. I'm a drummer and I have a mixer for drums. I've been having a hard time trying to get a clear sound on to my phone. Your video had help me alot in getting that clear on to my phone. Again thank you so much for your help.

[@fojctv]

You got it! glad to see a fellow Las Vegan!

[@gurianboy]

Hey man, I learned some stuff from your video on getting audio recorded and I want to thank you for taking time to do it. Your singing is great so don't be so hard on yourself! Thanks to Alicia too! I'm 70 years old from Portland and we have a great band. Take care you guys!

[@sharperminds4315]

If one has a recent Samsung phone, the built-in app will automatically use the external microphone/source for recording. If one uses the Pro Video mode, the audio level bars are displayed. Moreover, one can set the exposure and focus manually in Pro Video mode so the exposure doesn't change when one moves around. It enabled me to do away with the Open Camera app.

[@talwarjatin]

Jimmy thanks a lot for a great tutorial . I would how ever like to clarify/ enquire about one thing. The mixer has 2 outs , Right and Left channel . As per CTIA standards , The TRRS converter ( Grey cable ) from phone converts that TRRS into TRS . i.e , the two incoming channels ( Right and Left ) from mixer are shorted into One Microphone channel . To clarify , the Sleeve of TRRS bears the microphone signal which is shorted to the Tip and Ring of TRS . On the other hand , the Ring closer to Sleeve in TRRS bears the Ground signal and is connected to the Sleeve of TRS . IN such a situation , the Right and Left Channels of Mixer are directly shorted which seems to be a big problem for the mixer health and it can even blow up its channels as the output impedance of audio devices is always Low . What is your take on it ? Did you encounter any such problems ??

[@fojctv]

thank you, You know I don't live Stream this way, I use a USB sound card, I just figured out a way for my friend during the shut down so he could Live stream with what he had ad home :) so That was the only time I had ever tried this way, My live stream setup is using 3 Sony A6600 Cameras, I ATEM Mini, MacBook and a XR18 USB Mixer, Thank you for sharing this though for the others on here using this method!

[@talwarjatin]

@@fojctv Thanks a lot for your reply . yeah Okay. !

[@ChinhNguyen-bg4tz]

This is the cheapest option that works. Thank you. But there is another option is to get the iRig Stream audio interface. It's cost about $100. I don't mind to pay if the quality is much better. Wondering if you can make a comparison video between the 2 method.

[@Sujithbr]

Hi bro, This video of yours is of great help. Request your expertise and assistance for the below questions 1. Can you suggest a cheaper Mixer. How is "Yamaha MG06 6-Input" Compact Mixer. 2. Can the above Yamaha model be used to do video recording the same way you explained? I have 1 guitar, Keyboard and 1 or 2 mics for vocal to be recorded at the same time. 3. On the Head phone jack-input can I use a multi headphone splitter and use multiple in-ear or on-ear headphones for every musician and singer?

[@fojctv]

in that price the the Yamaha MG06 are ok, yamahas mic pre’s are sometime a bit noisy, but they are good little mixers, but I would look for something with Hi, Mid and Low EQ and if you are doing music, get something with FX, ou a little more money you can go with a USB mixer with FX and then you can use USE to your phone and get a even better sound the TRS, here is the smaller mixer to what I am using in my video: Mackie ProFXv3 Series, 6-Channel amzn.to/3hBv6KB and here is my video on using USB mixers to video or livestream: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYSkgJ6LgsZrsM0 the boards Im really liking right now in a mid price are: any behringer with midas Pres: amzn.to/3huGJmq presonus mixing board amzn.to/30GosMg Mackie ProFXv3 amzn.to/3g0mKvF and yes you can us a headphone splitter or even better a 4-Way Headphone Amplifier amzn.to/3jE3Z3b

Hi! Gosh I’m so thankful to find you…. My mixer is not a usb-- I’m using my Fender Passport pro (I think) 500. My music source (MacBook) and my shire wireless mic are connected to the Fender. Then I have a cord connected into output. It’s not RCA it has 2 lines which I think might be TRS. I’m using my iPhone to video. I purchased the app you suggested🙌🏼 What do you suggest I use between the Fender mixer cord and my iPhone for stereo sound? Thank you so much for your time- I’d love to pay you for your time on this. Thanks again and be so blessed

the only way to get stereo is a USB mixer or USB interface, you can try an iRig as well

Great video! the Mackie 10 looks good. BUT there should be a box that does it all so anyone can shoot video while playing guitar to a backing track in headphones! I have audio engineering experience , but I shouldn't really have to for this . I ran guitar HX Stomp >to tascam DR40 mini interface > TRS cable > otg adapter USB to phone >open camera . it works yet I can't get a cue mix in headphones .that's why a mixer would be better , for pre amping the signal and monitoring in head phones . what I do now is I play into the phone and look back at the video and the direct sound is good . in the industry the tech is like...almost there . now they are making everything blue tooth for mp3 players which is not as good as wireless, or wired for doing backing tracks !

You are brilliant.Thank you !

[@hazelwoodsv33]

The TRRS jack has stereo headphone outputs but only a MONO mic input - there are only 3 audio signals and the earth. To record a STEREO input you need an adaptor like the Rode SC6-L with associated Reporter app, which only works for an Apple device. Is there any equivalent Android adaptor and App which also addresses the Rode shortcoming of only ganged left and right input recording level and no power for condenser mics?
