I’ve said for years that you don’t need a “real” recording studio to make radio-ready recordings.
A modest home studio setup will do the trick just fine.
But a buddy of mine asked me “Do I even need studio equipment or microphones to record? Can’t I just use my iPhone?”
The question made me pause…CAN YOU make a record on an iPhone? And nothing but an iPhone?
I decided to find out.
Pretty slick! I like the underlying theme: “You do not need expensive gear or a fancy studio to make a song.” ( At least this is what I heard ) No excuses… use what you already have in your pocket! Nice work Graham.
Thanks Nick!
Wow, thank you!
Let’s not overlook the mad, multi-instrumentalist skillz and tasteful, musical licks that really make this work. Pretty sweet.
That’s the point! It’s not the gear 🙂
Graham, you are just too good, unbelievable and creative. I like this challenge. Thanks
Thanks Michael!
Clearly you can record a great piece of music with your phone, but sorry- THIS is not music.
It doesn´t mean anything, it doesn´t want anything…
i get your message teaching folks not to rely on equipment, but this example tries to show there´s a easy way just to use some presets and then you´re done.
I´m all in for minimalistic approaches, but this is pure mainstream, and for mainstream it is simply uninteresting.
You definitely don’t have to like my music – but I think you’re missing the point of the video. It’s to show that you can get a song that sounds quality with just your smartphone. That’s it.
I think your subscribers are lucky that you are a “crazy person”. I don`t even know how to use an i-phone properly in a daily use poin of view, so I was blowned away by the quality of your work! (great song by the way. honestly)
So I`ve noticed not everyone agrees and I firmely believe there are better environements to mix and master than a phone, but…
Congratulations!
🙂
great song and great recording. thanks for all the guides.
yestarday I watched your video it really inspired me and today with a friend and his Iphone we recorded a little song cover just for fun using only his iphone, I was very suprised with the sound you pulled of the Iphne and also the sounds we got today just playing arround with garage band for a little while. Thanks again for the inspiration! We had a lot of fun today playing with music. Thanks again. You are truly a source of information and most importantly, motivation and information, your good vibrations really cut thru the screen. (I follow your channel and philosofy for 5 years now, I started out with cubase in 2012 and I´ve been using protools since 2013)
this is the track we did today http://www96.zippyshare.com/v/Uh5VIErH/file.html

You are great! Love the song!👍
Thanks!
