Re: Using an Ipod as a Mic

Hi Steve,

I'm afraid that I have to respectfully disagree with your comments. I feel bad that the groom didn't turn on his microphone, however, I don't feel that it is my fault and I certainly didn't admit to "messing it up" I told him the situation with the recorder, he indicated to me that he was not comfortable being recorded prior to the ceremony and he forgot to turn the mic on. So now his wedding video will have the vows from the two back up shotgun mics that I had.

In my opinion I did do it the right way. The wrong way would have been to have no backups for the forgotten microphone. In the future I will pressure the groom more to turn the microphone on right away, but ultimately its their wedding, their video and their decision.

$500 is not in my budget, so I turned to these forums for advice on what other options there are. There are many others in these forums who have opted to use a digital audio recorder, I guess they are all cheap also.
