    Thanks for this. Sadly, you are confirming that when one sounds not so good…… probably can’t blame the microphone. 😢 Even the iPhone 11 mic sounds OK.

      I suppose that’s true, the mic doesn’t lie. But, the more accurate feedback you are able to get, the more you can find things to improve and work on them!

    I use an MXL ribbon mic. Definitely does the best job of sounding like the trumpet I hear in the room, compared to other things I’ve tried. Apparently ribbon mics can be sensitive to being knocked around, so maybe not the best choice for a set-up to drag around to practice rooms.

      That’s a good point too, for the students that may not be practicing in the same spot each day like I am

    I may have missed it in the video, where we're the microphones placed in relation to you/ the bell? I noticed a difference between the mics, but the difference wasnt as striking as I would have thought!

      The microphones were a foot or so from my bell. So, pretty close. I wanted to replicate what someone might do in a practice room. I agree, the difference wasn’t significant. Still, I think for most people who want an accurate representation, spending some money on the shure microphone is a good idea.

      @@RyanBeachtrumpet absolutely! I think it follows the same idea of diminishing returns with a lot of gear. I'd be happy using any of them, but definitely wouldn't want a CD recorded with an iPhone

    Nothing will replace a good mic/interface combo. However, the convenience of the Shure phone mic could be useful for musicians who produce a high volume of low/medium effort clips for social media seeing as the audio quality is about 90% of the way there. The default iPhone mic was definitely better than expected but still nowhere close to an accurate representation of nuanced playing.

    • @RyanBeachtrumpet

      I think we are in 100% agreement. I think the shure is the best choice for people wanting basic feedback or to post on social media.
      The top reason I like an interface isn’t actually the sound. It’s having the ability to use a DAW like Logic Pro. It makes the process of capturing recordings and listening back faster. The good sound quality is a nice bonus!

    The Iphone obviously sounds worse. I don’t hear much difference between the other two, though (I think) I’d like to hear myself recorded with the Shure.

      I agree. It’s not a massive difference. With EQ, I think the ribbon mic would start to separate itself more. But, that’s something I need to learn about.
