This is a GREAT video! Concise, to the point, and spelled it out so well! Thank You!
Awesome!! As an vocal artist I’ve been searching for tutorial on vocal recording using my iPhone thru my Yamaha 10 ice mixer. You’re a heaven sent answer.
A really well made video, explained with just the right amount of information. Thank you.
So clear and informative! Thank you!
What a relief that the Xenyx Q02 can be connected directly to the phone. No need to buy a Focusrite.
Finally, some crystal clear information, Thank you for this video 👍
Live these videos. All the questions I had answered. Thank you for your work!
Perfect. Solved my problems straight up.
Thank you so much!
Wow... Not that I spend a ton of time looking, but suffice it to say, I spend SOME time looking into help with my home studio.... MUSIC REPO seems to be the BEST BY FAR and answering PRECISELY the question I have and issues I run into with my devices and connections. She just seems to have a feel for EXACTLY the issues and questions you might run into while setting up or using your home recording studio. THANK YOU
Great video, highlights the importance of getting an audi interface. Thanks!
Thanks for a very helpful tutorial👍
Extremely!!! Super very helpful! Thank you
Just came across your video and ordered the interface, works great. Thanks for the info
Fantastic work on this one. I have been mulling around how to go about this… I have a focus rite so that’s a start. Adapters, mixer and cables next. Thanks
Thanks for the great content, always straight to the point!
Thank you 🙏
Thank you... Really useful info about the Open Camera app... Will give that a try
love this and your accent is heavenly. thank you!

Thanks so much Repo Girl!
First of all thanks for your video, it's so nice and simply explained. After days of researches I think I'm getting very close to understand what I need, but I still need some help, and I'm pretty sure you must know or already have a video on that.
What I want is, while recording a video from my smartphone (using Open Camera), is to record 2 audio sources at the same time:
- My microphone (preferably my mxl v67g condenser microphone but it can be something else)
- The sound coming from my laptop
The tricky part mybe is that I need to be able to still heat the sound from my laptop while recording.
At the moment I do have the steinberg ur22c (very similar to the focusrite scarlett 2i2) connected to my laptop and where my mic is plugged in and from where the sound are directed to my speakers.
Is that something that is doable? do I need a mixing cable, or maybe simply upgrade to something like the scarlett 4i4? I can't get my head around it.
Hopefully I was clear enough but if you need any additional info I'd be glad to assist.
Would really appreciate your help on this (but would understand if too complex or too busy 😅😅)
Thanks
This link says 'insecure'?
@@lennyzenith6232 sorry, website no longer exists
Very important information, many thanks 🙏🏻
Thank you - that was really helpful!
great video thanks. Was looking exaclty for this. :D
Your videos are the best! It is comprehensive, easy to follow, simple illustrations that adds so much clarity and your intent to demystify things is very evident and the effort is successful. Thank you for doing these for us. Loved it ❤
Very complete explanation! Thanks a lot
Thank you! This was so helpful and useful. Very much appreciated.
All this worked, with Android, open camera, uca222, DJ mixer, drum machine, keyboard. Thanks for superb tutorial!!! 😎👍❤️
Could you record line input into your phone with the uca222?
Great video! Thank you!
Thank you ❤ That was so helpful!! All these cables really get me confused... I think I have to simplify my setup. 😂
Very helpful, straight to the point
Thank you so much for the detailed information provided here. What a really well made video. Thank you for doing these for us. May God bless you.
Wonderful explanation 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks, so informative ❤🎉
Thank you! Clear and lovely.
Your videos are amazing! I've learned so much. I am curious if you could recommend or even demonstrate a specific scenario I'm trying to achieve. I would love to know how I could connect my iPhone into an audio interface or mixer board so that I can receive and hear a caller (say whatsapp call or regular cellular call) but also be able to respond to the caller using an XLR mic that is connected in thru the mixer or audio interface. I've seen various attempts at this but to me it looks like the solutions involve having a mixer send a line level signal back to the iphone (via a lighting adapter) when it may be expecting a mic level signal. A bonus would be if I could also capture/record this interaction on my computer using something like audacity. Thank you!
Nice info about using a cell phone. Thanks!
You are superb.It also helps how great and clear your voice is too.
Great! And so well explained. Thanks a lot for this vid.
Great demonstration!! Gave me some ideas 😁
Glad you liked it 👍
Amazing! I am trying to get better Twitter Spaces (live broadcast & zoom kinda environment) audio on my iPhone!
Great content!
Thanks for sharing!
This is super helpful. Thanks so much ❤🎉
Thanks for this video. Which of the option would you recommend I use if I wanted to dial into a audio conference line using my cell phone and broadcast the audio from the mixer into the conference call?
Awesome explaination .how to control analogue mixer by phone.For example if I wanna mute my mixer or see the eq graph.thanks
Brilliant! Answered my question within the first 30 seconds - how to get audio from my iPhone into my mix.
Thank you ! I'm going to try this step by step . 🎶🎵🎶
I'm hoping this will work to connect to a 1984 or 1985 realistic soundboard ? I had a tape box connected for background track to sing with but that died. Everything else works. I record with a boom box with a tape player behind me as I'm singing. 😅 I'm old school. House has to be quiet 😂. But it works! I hope this will help with better quality recording with equipment that I have. I love how you simplify it all and get right to the point. God bless!
Thank you very much for this video, very helpful!
Very helpful video, thanks :)
❤❤❤❤❤ THE BEST VIDEO ON CZcams ABOUT IPHONE AUDIO!!) Thanks
Awesome, I would like to record interviews via phone into Audacity, hopefully one of these applications will work
Hey. I love your stuff. I have a wee question. Can you recommend a an interface for recording saxophone from my yamaha mixer to my phone please 🙏
I love this channel no cap
Hi. Thanks for some good info.
How do you set up a mixer and an interface to record a caller coming in on a cellphone --- say if you were to do a broadcast or a podcast? That is what I really need.
May I ask you a deeper question about your settings within the Open Camera app? My goal is to hear output in surround sound, or surround sound emulation through all 4 speakers. I’m going out from my external mixer straight into my Android phone using the interface cables you described in your video. (I am “not” using the alternate method with the little interface unit.).
I played around with settings in Open Camera. In Video Settings / Audio Channels, initially I selected Stereo. Output sounds great, but comes out in my front 2 speakers only. I believe Default and Mono are the same. I tried Mono and I did hear output in the 2 rear speakers too, but volume was much lower and I want to say slightly distorted. I have the Video Format set to Default. Do you have any tips on how to achieve surround sound (or surround sound emulation) using the Open Camera app? I’m fairly confident it is within the app and not cable or interface related. Thanks!
👏👏👏👏Thank you!!!!
Thanks so much for the lesson, but what about recording direct from Amplifier to phone?
First off, thanks for your video!
In what scenario do I want to connect from my phone to the XLR input of the mixer and what scenario do I want to use the dual 1/4" line input of the mixer?
Thanks for sharing..
You still got it 👍 👌 💯
Do these methods pick up my phone conversation? (Not just the audio coming from the phone, but my voice going into the phone as well? That's what I need for broadcast purposes.
You can record directly from the call, usually, and use both audio files.
Hi thank you for your video
Can I ask you to help me out what cable should I use for my mixer please?
Hi there. A big thank you for all the free info shared. I've tried getting AF from a wireless mic receiver into my phone with mixed outcomes.
One way was out the AF with an adapted(1/4inch) aux cable into a trs to trrs adapter and then phone. I can hear audio coming thru but not very loud.
I've also tried swapping the trs to trrs adapter with a mic and headphone splitter with a trrs on the other end. Aux cable connected to the mic line. Nothing comes thru.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance
Can you do a video about set up for Shure ksm 141 condenser to a mixer then into a camera. What is the best way to set it up ? I am using it mainly to record video with higher quality sounds for performance, thank you very much.
awesome glad i found this video :)
Thank for the video
Can I use this set to mix the audio of a video call in the pc and a phone call?
Hey thanks for demonstrating this setup in a really easy to follow process! I have bought the Behringer UCA222 and connected it via an adaptor to my phone, but unfortunatel it doesn't seem to power the interface sadly. the interface does work when I connect to my laptop however, so I'm just wondering if you have a recommendation or a work around for this with my samsung a71? I've bought a usb power bank to hopefully bring it to life but i suppose maybe my phone's connection is dodgy or something. I have another option of potentially using an iPad so I might look into that too but the phone would be my preference for instagram live gigs.
Cheers and thanks again!
Matt
Really nice video but what about using audio interface and charge at the same time? Is there an adapter for android like the Apple USB 3 camera adapter?
Thank You!
I'm thinking I need the OTG adapter and possibly correct drivers for the R24 and Open Camera app.
Could it be that simple , maby.
I appreciate any thoughts 🤗
Looking to use a Behringer Flow 8 mixer to input audio to my iPhone 11 Pro Max for tiktok music streams where I perform.. would this mixer be suitable
We use a keyboard in our band so the 1/4 slots are taken. I use RCA to bring in music during a break. Is there a way to use one of my "monitor out" ports to send our phone out?? It is a "Zoom L20" where we have some available inputs. Can I use 2 of the inputs for the 1/4 inch jacks (one panned left and one panned right)? Thank you for any insight! Great video
I have a lice stream i do on youtube from my phone, is there a way i can add a mixer and microphone to live stream. I have an s22 ultra
very helpful
What can you recommend for usb otg to 3.5 mm male jack? I am using the same mixer Xenyx Q802usb. My phone has a c port but for charging only so the audio part is 3.5 mm.
In reference to chapter 2 will I be able to use my microphone on the mixer or the iPhone microphone please let me know
Amazing
Thanks for the video. I doubt the recording is stereo, as at 7:50, the volume meter does not show Left and Right channel in seperate. Please advise.
hi, nice video, i get a question, if connect my iphone with the focusrite 2i2 interface directly to broadcast (without mixer) I only get mono signal to my iphone (when i plug my microphone into the left side of interface my audience can only hear me on the left side of their earphone, vice versus) is there any easy way to fix this problem? I am thinking about buy a XLR splitter cable and plug the 2 male ends into both of the 2 microphone input of my interface, so my audience can hear both side.
Amazing tutorial, however, I used the way I connect the mixer to the iPhone by digital audio cable, but it's not working well; my mixer is dynacord power mate 600; any clue, please?
What cord would I need to go out to a monitor output? Is this possible
Whirlwind makes a DI box called the ISOPODci which which converts a mobile device's TRRS I/O to balanced line-level I/O on XLR, with a few extra features to boot. It's quite expensive but probably also quite good. I haven't used it yet, myself.
If your goal is to make phone calls through your professional audio gear then bear in mind that some phones restrict USB audio devices' access to the phone app. In this case a TRRS or Bluetooth solution would be the only options.
Speaking of which, a company called Angry Audio makes a product creatively named the _Bluetooth Audio Gadget_ which provides XLR IO to a mobile device using either Bluetooth or TRRS. Also rather pricey but probably also really handy. I have not tried it, myself.
Hi, is it possible to connect monitoring output of interface to 3.5 jack on the cellphone? I bought an arturia minifuse 2, and OTG cable method is not working with me. =(
How is that Focusrite 2i2 powered? Through the USB?
Thanks for the great easy to follow instructions, however after trying most of the options to get a recording on my android phone I can't manage to record any sound, no movement on the sound bar during recording but can hear through the headphones ok when I'm playing/singing. I am using a Allen & Heath ZED10FX mixer. Any suggestions.
Very informative video. I'm getting bad distortion with mixer going into Android phone through the little headphone input. I need that small red Behringer U-control UC A222 box. But is that "Gritin" OTG lead you showed to connect to a phone through its USB port not available with the 3.5m jack on the end ??
As l've been told my Samsung galaxy A14 does not support audio in through the USB port... only the headphone port.
Any advice please ?
Thank you for the great instructional video, it was very helpful ! I have a few questions
1) If I have headphone port in my android, then I connect the TRRS cable from the audio interface headphone port. In that case, do I have to use the usb connection for power from the phone, or I can use any other power source such as a laptop usb port ?
2) If I want to use my guitar amp to simultaneously listen to playback, then I connect a TRS cable from the mixer phones output to the amp line in , is that correct ?
3) If I want to pass my backing track from my laptop to the mixer and since I only have a headphone port I use the 3.5 TRS to Dual 1/4" TS stereo breakout cable to connect to the line input channels of the mixer ?
4) Instead of directly connecting the guitar , I can connect the guitar to an effects processor and then connect the processor to the mixer line in , without the need of any other device, is that correct?
What is the best way to get both audio recorded from my digital piano into my android smart phone for use on tiktok duet and have a condenser mic that will enable me to record audio the exact same way?
Nice , unique ways showns to use mobile with mixer.
How to reduce noise behringer 802 while recording in Android mobile ?
Hello, and thanks for an informative video. What I want is to record my guitar direct from the line out of my guitar device and/or mixer to my android phone. But why do I need an interface in between; can't I just get a mini-jack to usb-c adapter and go directly from my device (with a mini-jack cable) and directly into the phone?
thanks
what cable should I use if I want to connect the audio interface to the Mixer for longer than 10ft distance?
6:17 we do not have two out from our mixer. We have a single head phone jack or a single monitor out. Is there a way to send this signal out from one 1/4 inch to the Beringer then into the phone or a Chromebook? Can you suggest wires and steps to do this? Thank you for your great videos
Helo mam i need your help..hope your response.. what accessories should i buy to connect line output of audio interface to open camera apps of my phone?

Need your help: How can connect my Behringer Xr 18 digital mixer with my Android phone through usb?
Is there a way to reduce the Gain in the phone software itself? I'm using the keyboard stereo and also keep the gain all the way down on the focusrite. If I add any type of volume either from my keyboard volume or the focusrite I get clipping and distortion. I'd like to have a higher headphone volume but I can only achieve that by turning the volume up on my keyboard or the focusrite.
