I have just one question that no one has known the answer to. If I connect any USB-enabled microphone to my mobile, audio playback does not work, so I cannot use it for video conferencing. The phone detects the USB microphone as a headset on these applications, which sends the sound to the USB interface. Since there is only one microphone there, it is useless precisely on these surfaces. I can't change the audio output anywhere like I do with a windwos PC. Any ideas?

This is a problem with recording directly from an external microphone and using the Open Camera App...Have you tried recording directly to the native camera app?

The other way to get around this is by using a free audio editing programme like Audacity...You can increase the audio loudness within the program by importing the audio file from the video.

I have a Galaxy A10 phone, with a micro-USB port. I tried a cheap pair of wireless mics, that had a type C receiver, that plugs to the phone where it gets its power (no battery in receiver). When I realised I had the wrong port on my phone, I bought a small adaptor (type C female, to micro-USB male). But the receivers light doesn't come on to show its on, so its likely getting no power from my phone. I'm beginning to understand, with some help from your great video, I need an android compatible app too, that recognises such external mic(s). I'm after knowing of a mic that would work with my Samsung Galaxy A10 phone with its micro-USB port (possible using an adaptor), & a suitable app. So, I don't buy a second mic that won't work. I'm happy to spend more for something that works, with help from someone who knows. It's for videoing piano play (from above the piano keyboard) while singing, for practise purposes. Any suggestions?
Do you know which one/ones are best for a band and a vocalist in one small room? I sing karaoke with a big speaker and I play guitar at the same time. Budget 150 to 500 gbp.
Great videos...thank you! I am confused on one point. When a USB condenser mike is plugged in, is the built in mike on the mobile disconnected, or does it continue to pick up and record sound? Perhaps this accounts for why some people report a lot of recorded noise.
On most newer smart phones the phone automatically detects if you have an external mic connected and shuts off internal mic and vice versa or check phone settings. And u can always turn volume up and tap on the phones mic/speakers and you will hear which ones are recording. Or just shitty cords, charging phone while recording or just that background noise. Lol
Thanks for the video, newbie to trying to use an external microphone for my moto g5 ace. I purchased an Audio technica at2020 which plugs into an iRig pro duo, which I plugged into my moto using the irig supplied plug to my moto usb port. Silly me I thought I could use the existing phone camera, as it is 4k video, but I cannot get any sound to record from the microphone. The mic and iRig is working for when I plug into my desktop I can test it and seems to be working. I down loaded open camera to the moto and still no audio. What am I doing wrong? Thanks so very much

Hi, I just tried L'Iring Pre Hd with shure sm58 microphone, samsung galaxy s9 + android phone and smule app. I noticed 2 things: - With Direct Monitoring in the headphones connected to the device, obviously I have no effect on the voice, unless you turn up the volume of the feedback from the App, but in this case the effect returns to me with Latency. - After recording, there is a latency between 150 and 200 ms (which I can still correct from the App). Do you have any advice for me? Many thanks in advance.
I am having the same issue. Also, in addition to latency, vocals are distorted bc I’m forced to increase the gain just to monitor myself! If I find out anything I’ll be sure to comment on here for ya!
These are great choices! For iPhone users the apple headphones work just great, but if you want some mind blowing audio quality like in an actual studio, these mics are a good choice. For Android in most cases I do suggest try Apple headphones, and if it still doesn't work great, then try one of these mics. Only if you are willing to spend that money
Your knowledge and experience far outweighs mine(!), so I thought I would ask you directly: how can I connect a Rode Wireless Go II to my Android Samsung Flip3 mobile phone - which, BTW, does *not* have a 3.5mm jack; everything is done thru usb-c - and get sound on the video I am recording? So far, everything I have tried gives me great picture quality, but no sound. :-(

I am buying a fairly big building in a blown out, old school area outside of Pittsburgh and I want to start a music studio. Big money, no problem. Ha ha! No not really, so I really like these tricks. I feel as if I am going to become a producer.
I've been searching high and low for a dynamic mic that can connect to an usb c android device for smule I bought the revelator as per your video but it doesn't work for me because it's a condenser mic and my house is too echoey and loud, I've been looking for a dynamic mic for weeks and am completely stuck 😭😭😭😂 I've learned a lot from your videos though so thank you so much!
the problem when I connect my blue yeti mic to android phone i can't control the volume of the mic , it record videos with so high audio volume even when I tried to control the gain button to lower it but still so high , even if I'm whispering to the mic it record with so high volume ,,,, I didn't face this problem when i connect it to pc, it was perfect i can control the gain volume from the mic to low or high but for android phone I cant control it
Hi colin, which app did you use? when I used the open camera app and recorded through my samsung A40 on the Audiotechnica mic, the sound that came through was very low. Feeling stumped!
Hi there. I Recently purchase a Samsung 22 Ultra phone. And i have a microphone that came with the Usb adapter to type c. But for some reason, after i record songs use starmaker karaoke app or even smule. The playback carries a higher pitch. My voice sounding slightly faster than the music track. Meaning my voice runs ahead of the track. I Used the microphone with a Samsung S10 phone and this issue never happens. I wish if someone can test a microphone with a Samsung 22 ultra, with starmaker karaoke app. And explain me if there is something in the phone's audio hardware. That is causing this higher pitch. The S10 by samsung does not cause this problem. But i am no electronics expert. to figure out and solve the higher pitch end result.
Camera app didn't work for me..I am trying to use an external mic so I can sing and play harp and have the mic closest to my mouth. It didn't work when I clicked external mic
Hi heather did you manage to get a fix? when I used the open camera app and recorded through my samsung A40 on the Audiotechnica mic, the sound that came through was very low. Feeling stumped!
How do you make smule to use the open camera instead of the normal settings though? I have a usb-c thingy and it keeps recording through the internal mic even though I set up the open camera app.
If you just record yourself in the Smule App, it automatically recognises if you have an external mic, I wouldn't know how to use Open Camera in conjunction with Smule
Hi, interesting question re. micro USB mic. My micro-USB powers on phone but apps don't pick up sound. I can use it fine on C-type & iPhone adapter. I can hear it with earphones when plugged in with micro-USB android. But apps aren't picking up external mic, only phone mic. The cable adapter is good enough to power the mic. But could it be needing something else to transfer the signal to the phone? Or is it something in the phone settings?
I just purchased a ZealSound z66. I can hear the audio in a headset when connected but the audio is not being picked up on my android audio, it's only the phones microphone being picked up. Idk what's wrong.
My problem is that my usb C mic kills the speaker sound. I downloaded like 10 apps that should force speaker sound but it works for 1 second then it goes silent again. So frustrating this usb C shit. My mic is the boya m3, not sure if there is a solution to get both this mic working while also monitor it's output and hearing youtube etc without unplugging and plugging in cord 200 times. This is so dumb I'm actually pissed because we had working stuff with 3,5 jacks and now we have adapters on top of adapters and things still don't work. I appreciate any help if you know any solution or I will just return this mic again. Happy New Year!
I commiserate 😅as I am in the same boat. Something that should be so simple to fix yet even the open camera app has an extremely low sound when recording using an external mic (Audio-Technica).
I don't have problem with my Fifine mic with Smule app on Android, no vocal lagging either. But when it comes to making video on my phone or TikTok it doesn't even pick up my vocal. Not sure what's the problem.
I suggest you install Open Camera to create videos on your phone, as this will allow you to use an external mic. The built in camera app does not. I'm afraid I don't know if you can use an external mic with TikTok but I am going to investigate ...

So i received my Revelator mic today but then my usb c to usb c cable didnt work, and the only thing i could think was maybe my phone wasnt strong enough to power and needed a split for the charging.

I’m having a great deal of trouble with my android and I wonder whether you might have a guess as to why this is happening: I have a variety of mics (a yeti, a rode, a smattering of junky little lavs-this is just for recording my speaking voice) and while I can get all of them to record on the Android, there is an ENORMOUS amount of static with all but the crappiest little lav mic from Walmart plugged straight into the headphone jack. I’ve tried others that plug in that way and static. Also tried OTGs. Static. There’s no case on the phone to interfere with connections and each of these mics work just fine with the computer or my DSLR. Oh, I’ve also tried every combination of restarting, plugging in before opening the app, after, etc. Any guesses? I’m at a loss. Thanks for your videos. They’re excellent.
Anyone figure out a fix for the static on android w mic, my yeti has an increase of static with the increase in gain. I can't figure it out, thought it was the mic, returned and got the same on the second one, its better than the built in mic, but the static is an issue.

To answer the question in the commercial, THERE ARE NO ADVANTAGES to solar power. Not right there isn't. Some day we'll probably get very good with these things. Be patient. We didn't get good with oil and gas overnight. Why would ANYONE THINK WE CAN JUST TURN OFF OIL IMMEDIATELY OVER NOT.

That means, I would have to locate the recorded files on the smartphone. It's not possible with Rode's own "Rode Reporter" because you cannot identify/change the default storage folder. Can soneone halp?
Looking for this as well, did you solve it?
@@wildanilsson I ended up using an app called "USB Audio Recorder Pro" from the App store, it costs a few bucks. There's a free trial version on their website but NOT in the Google Play Store. It can record lossless audio.
Question if you get a double adapter can you connect a mic and keyboard. I have one for my table and keyboard but I'm worried it won't work with both keyboard and mic
A quick question, this is about my child is having her piano lesson in this pandemic via WhatsApp video call on one to one using the mobile phone. Assuming if I could insert a usd-c external mic, can she use the headphones jack in the external to listen to the reply of her teacher on the other side? Basically I want to not reply on the speak of the mobile phone in Whatapps call
I have a Galaxy A10 phone, with a micro-USB port. I tried a cheap pair of wireless mics, that had a type C receiver, that plugs to the phone where it gets its power (no battery in receiver).
When I realised I had the wrong port on my phone, I bought a small adaptor (type C female, to micro-USB male). But the receivers light doesn't come on to show its on, so its likely getting no power from my phone.
I'm beginning to understand, with some help from your great video, I need an android compatible app too, that recognises such external mic(s).
I'm after knowing of a mic that would work with my Samsung Galaxy A10 phone with its micro-USB port (possible using an adaptor), & a suitable app. So, I don't buy a second mic that won't work. I'm happy to spend more for something that works, with help from someone who knows. It's for videoing piano play (from above the piano keyboard) while singing, for practise purposes.
Any suggestions?
Do you know which one/ones are best for a band and a vocalist in one small room? I sing karaoke with a big speaker and I play guitar at the same time. Budget 150 to 500 gbp.
Great videos...thank you!
I am confused on one point. When a USB condenser mike is plugged in, is the built in mike on the mobile disconnected, or does it continue to pick up and record sound?
Perhaps this accounts for why some people report a lot of recorded noise.
On most newer smart phones the phone automatically detects if you have an external mic connected and shuts off internal mic and vice versa or check phone settings. And u can always turn volume up and tap on the phones mic/speakers and you will hear which ones are recording. Or just shitty cords, charging phone while recording or just that background noise. Lol
Thanks for the video, newbie to trying to use an external microphone for my moto g5 ace. I purchased an Audio technica at2020 which plugs into an iRig pro duo, which I plugged into my moto using the irig supplied plug to my moto usb port. Silly me I thought I could use the existing phone camera, as it is 4k video, but I cannot get any sound to record from the microphone. The mic and iRig is working for when I plug into my desktop I can test it and seems to be working. I down loaded open camera to the moto and still no audio. What am I doing wrong? Thanks so very much
What would I use to sing with on an Amazon Fire Tablet 10 Plus?
Thanks. What about Recording audio to Android phone via Audio Interface with USB or in my case a Mackie MIxer with USB out cant seem to get it to work
So the Shure MV51 will work with a usb c adapter on android even of my phone uses a 3.5mm headphone jack for listening and microphone?
Hi, I bought a Boya BYM1. Will this do for my Trinity digital grades for classical guitar?
Thanks for the useful info. I have samsung A21S with a C type connection. I have a behringer C1U mike. Hiw do i connect to my phone to sing in smule? Can you advise if it needs an interface. Thanks in advance
Hey, you need a adaptor
Finally, the video I was looking for! Thank you for doing this!
Hi joe, which app did you use? when I used the open camera app and recorded through my samsung A40 on the Audiotechnica mic, the sound that came through was very low. Feeling stumped!
Hi, I just tried L'Iring Pre Hd with shure sm58 microphone, samsung galaxy s9 + android phone and smule app. I noticed 2 things: - With Direct Monitoring in the headphones connected to the device, obviously I have no effect on the voice, unless you turn up the volume of the feedback from the App, but in this case the effect returns to me with Latency. - After recording, there is a latency between 150 and 200 ms (which I can still correct from the App). Do you have any advice for me? Many thanks in advance.
I am having the same issue. Also, in addition to latency, vocals are distorted bc I’m forced to increase the gain just to monitor myself! If I find out anything I’ll be sure to comment on here for ya!
These are great choices! For iPhone users the apple headphones work just great, but if you want some mind blowing audio quality like in an actual studio, these mics are a good choice.
For Android in most cases I do suggest try Apple headphones, and if it still doesn't work great, then try one of these mics. Only if you are willing to spend that money
How would they work?
This is an awesome review. Thanks for sharing it. I'm a super fan. Been watching since 2020 with your zoom music mode video. Absolutely fantastic.
Thank you so much 🙏
I love you and I love your technical reviews, you are fantastic. Best regards
Your knowledge and experience far outweighs mine(!), so I thought I would ask you directly: how can I connect a Rode Wireless Go II to my Android Samsung Flip3 mobile phone - which, BTW, does *not* have a 3.5mm jack; everything is done thru usb-c - and get sound on the video I am recording? So far, everything I have tried gives me great picture quality, but no sound. :-(
Apparently you need to use the open camera app (3:20 in video)
Hi, thank you for your video. Can you tell me about the blue yeti
How do you hear the audio when you sing into it?
that is also my question..in using Smule or Starmaker app
... very informative, thank you
we use our battery powered Sony ECM-SM907
with 3.5mm TRRS into Mac I/O headphone jack on both iMac and iPhone without issue,
interesting to hear that these Mac I/O jacks days are numbered, shame. #cheers
Why don't the android otg connectors need power like the ios camera connectors do ?

I am buying a fairly big building in a blown out, old school area outside of Pittsburgh and I want to start a music studio. Big money, no problem. Ha ha! No not really, so I really like these tricks. I feel as if I am going to become a producer.
I've been searching high and low for a dynamic mic that can connect to an usb c android device for smule I bought the revelator as per your video but it doesn't work for me because it's a condenser mic and my house is too echoey and loud, I've been looking for a dynamic mic for weeks and am completely stuck 😭😭😭😂 I've learned a lot from your videos though so thank you so much!
Your Each and every video info helps me😍
the problem when I connect my blue yeti mic to android phone i can't control the volume of the mic , it record videos with so high audio volume even when I tried to control the gain button to lower it but still so high , even if I'm whispering to the mic it record with so high volume ,,,, I didn't face this problem when i connect it to pc, it was perfect i can control the gain volume from the mic to low or high but for android phone I cant control it
HI there, can anyone tell me why when I conect an usb c microphone to my android I get signal from the phone mic as well? Thanks in advance!
The audio is very nice.
Exactly what I was looking for!! Ty
Hi colin, which app did you use? when I used the open camera app and recorded through my samsung A40 on the Audiotechnica mic, the sound that came through was very low. Feeling stumped!
Hi there. I Recently purchase a Samsung 22 Ultra phone. And i have a microphone that came with the Usb adapter to type c. But for some reason, after i record songs use starmaker karaoke app or even smule. The playback carries a higher pitch. My voice sounding slightly faster than the music track. Meaning my voice runs ahead of the track. I Used the microphone with a Samsung S10 phone and this issue never happens. I wish if someone can test a microphone with a Samsung 22 ultra, with starmaker karaoke app. And explain me if there is something in the phone's audio hardware. That is causing this higher pitch. The S10 by samsung does not cause this problem. But i am no electronics expert. to figure out and solve the higher pitch end result.
Good Stuff, Thanks!
Camera app didn't work for me..I am trying to use an external mic so I can sing and play harp and have the mic closest to my mouth. It didn't work when I clicked external mic
Hi heather did you manage to get a fix? when I used the open camera app and recorded through my samsung A40 on the Audiotechnica mic, the sound that came through was very low. Feeling stumped!
How do you make smule to use the open camera instead of the normal settings though?
I have a usb-c thingy and it keeps recording through the internal mic even though I set up the open camera app.
If you just record yourself in the Smule App, it automatically recognises if you have an external mic, I wouldn't know how to use Open Camera in conjunction with Smule
Excellen explanation , well done !
Hi, interesting question re. micro USB mic. My micro-USB powers on phone but apps don't pick up sound. I can use it fine on C-type & iPhone adapter. I can hear it with earphones when plugged in with micro-USB android. But apps aren't picking up external mic, only phone mic. The cable adapter is good enough to power the mic. But could it be needing something else to transfer the signal to the phone? Or is it something in the phone settings?
At this point i would definitely check settings
Thank you very helpful
I just purchased a ZealSound z66. I can hear the audio in a headset when connected but the audio is not being picked up on my android audio, it's only the phones microphone being picked up. Idk what's wrong.
3:20 in the video apparently you need to use an app called open camera
My problem is that my usb C mic kills the speaker sound. I downloaded like 10 apps that should force speaker sound but it works for 1 second then it goes silent again. So frustrating this usb C shit. My mic is the boya m3, not sure if there is a solution to get both this mic working while also monitor it's output and hearing youtube etc without unplugging and plugging in cord 200 times. This is so dumb I'm actually pissed because we had working stuff with 3,5 jacks and now we have adapters on top of adapters and things still don't work.
I appreciate any help if you know any solution or I will just return this mic again.
Happy New Year!
I commiserate 😅as I am in the same boat. Something that should be so simple to fix yet even the open camera app has an extremely low sound when recording using an external mic (Audio-Technica).
Great! Thank you ✌️
I BELIEVE WHEN YOU PLUS THESE MICS ON SMULE OR STARMAKER APP, YOU WONT BE ABLE TO HEAR THE AUDIO/MUSIC.
oh wow cant believe she left that out, thats incredibly important
Are you able to hear yourself in real time while recording from Android on your blue yeti? I can't find out how to do that.
Can I use ear phones or does it have to be headphones? Thank you
thank you so much,..........!!!
I don't have problem with my Fifine mic with Smule app on Android, no vocal lagging either. But when it comes to making video on my phone or TikTok it doesn't even pick up my vocal. Not sure what's the problem.
I suggest you install Open Camera to create videos on your phone, as this will allow you to use an external mic. The built in camera app does not. I'm afraid I don't know if you can use an external mic with TikTok but I am going to investigate ...
@@MusicRepo Thank you for your reply and suggestions!
can you do this with a blue yeti mic?
Yes, I have connected a few different mics to my phone this way, don't see why the Blue Yeti should be any different

can these also work on laptops?
Yes

I'm having trouble finding an otg adapter for Android with a second USB for power (I want to use it with a Native Instruments audio interface). USB B or C would be OK. Any suggestions please?
Interesting, I found it easy to buy an OTG adapter that would take power input for my older micro usb android device, but couldn’t find a powered usb-c one for my newer phone … if anyone else seeing this can help that’d be good
@@MusicRepo Please will you give me a link to the adaptor you found for micro USB? Is ios lightning the same as micro USB? I've never used ios devices.

@@MusicRepo Hi, hope your day is going well. Thank you for being so helpful on the last video. So i received my Revelator mic today but then my usb c to usb c cable didnt work, and the only thing i could think was maybe my phone wasnt strong enough to power and needed a split for the charging. So i bought this cable today but it says usb c to usb c splitter, www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07N3YH327/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 do you think this would work. I should get it tommorow or the day after tommorow, if i hadnt heard back, i can report my findings if the cable worked.
I dont think usb mics sound as good as a xlr mic. Ive found the new presonus io44 is perfect for connecting to my tablet for singing on smule.
I’m having a great deal of trouble with my android and I wonder whether you might have a guess as to why this is happening: I have a variety of mics (a yeti, a rode, a smattering of junky little lavs-this is just for recording my speaking voice) and while I can get all of them to record on the Android, there is an ENORMOUS amount of static with all but the crappiest little lav mic from Walmart plugged straight into the headphone jack. I’ve tried others that plug in that way and static. Also tried OTGs. Static. There’s no case on the phone to interfere with connections and each of these mics work just fine with the computer or my DSLR. Oh, I’ve also tried every combination of restarting, plugging in before opening the app, after, etc. Any guesses? I’m at a loss.
Thanks for your videos. They’re excellent.
I'm having the same problem.
My audio technica at2020 is practically unusable on my Samsung phone even with a tea adaptor 🤷♂️
Anyone figure out a fix for the static on android w mic, my yeti has an increase of static with the increase in gain. I can't figure it out, thought it was the mic, returned and got the same on the second one, its better than the built in mic, but the static is an issue.

A great ad for a bunch of microphones. Unfortunately, she forgot to tell us how to get any of them to work with Android. No walk through of menus. Just get an adapter. I have the adapter, but there is no way to make android use the device.
Hi Jane mentions 3:20 in the video that you need an app called "open camera" to do this. Unfortunately the frustrating thing which I just found out now is the volume that comes through when using the open camera app is extremely low. I am in the same position as you right now trying to find a solution to something so frustratingly simple. so I definately commiserate with how you're feeling!😏🙂
To answer the question in the commercial, THERE ARE NO ADVANTAGES to solar power. Not right there isn't. Some day we'll probably get very good with these things. Be patient. We didn't get good with oil and gas overnight. Why would ANYONE THINK WE CAN JUST TURN OFF OIL IMMEDIATELY OVER NOT.
I didn’t hear anything saying how to rig up the external mic IN smule so that you can use it to record your voice there. That’s what i thought this Video was. Oh well. 🤷♂️
Smile is an app that recognises an external mic, you don't need to set anything up.
@@MusicRepo I have an Shure MV7. It records with the Shure Motiv app and my phones video recorder but won't record on Smule. I have a Pixel 7. Do I need to change any settings on my phone or within Smule?
