Hi Lily

There are many audio recording software options that you can download from the apps store which will work on the iPod Touch 3G. I use Voxie Pro Recorder and find it good. I profile Voxie Pro Recorder in some of my other posts.

If you also need a microphone, then I recommend the microphones available through touchmic.com. I use the MityMic which does work on iPod Touch 3G.

Hi Matt

I’m sure that it is possible to hook up a different microphone if you know what you are doing. As I stated in a previous comment on another post you would need to get the right configuration wired up on a 4 terminal 3.5mm jack (1 for the mic, 2 for the stereo headphones, and 1 for ground).

If the mic requires phantom power then it won’t get this from the iPod Touch or iPhone, so you will need to wire in a battery power source with appropriate resistor (at which point it gets well beyond my knowledge).

Have you come across anything else that would work as a recorder? I’m also curious to see if I have the right jack and converter if I could hook up a larger or higher quality microphone for even better recordings. Thanks for the research.

Hi Brendon,

Thanks so much for the review. I’ve been looking high and low for something like this. I’m very curious to know the quality of recording if the recorder ipod is set on a table (as in an interview setting). I produce frequent podcasts and would like not to have to hand the device back and forth during the interview.

Thanks in advance,

Graham

I should probably clarify that the mic plugs into the headphone socket / jack and only works with iPod Touch 2rd Generation and 3G iPhone. In addition to providing the headphone sound the socket / jack can also be used to receive microphone input.

Hi Brian – good to hear from you. You’re right that the value proposition is best if you already own an iPhone or iPod Touch (or are thinking of getting one). Then you are only paying a little bit more to add a quality audio recording feature on to all of the other features you get with the iPhone or Touch.
