If you have been wondering how to record a line out of your mixer directly into your phone this article will show you how.

If you want to get a clean sound without fader clicks, some kind of audio input cable / device is needed for the phone.

Using a @headsetbuddy cable and the standard iPhone camera app. It gives slightly more volume.

Winner: The Headset Buddy cable won for me in terms of volume and ease of connection.
