| Oct 7, 2023 at 9:45 | comment | added | Piet Binnenbocht | The simple question remains: device X has line-out .This could be a synthesizer, a record player, anything really. Is there no way to record the line-out directly on an iPhone without using an audio interface? Some people mention soldering cables but I've never seen any product that can do this. I'm just wondering why this has to be so complex. My old windows 98 pc with a 10 dollar sound card had an audio-in that could record any line-out from any source. Why can't phones do this? | |

The 3.5 mm minijack for the iPhone/Android is split into 4 parts starting from the tip of the plug: left out, right out, ground, microphone. If you've use a 3 part plug you wouldn't get any mic in ofcourse. | |

| Apr 22, 2020 at 14:32 | comment | added | jksoegaard | Well, why would it be "simple" ? .... the cable you have used probably just has the signal wired on the wrong parts of the jack plug - if you just correct the cable you can get a signal in "simple"... but if you want high audio quality, the "simple" solution is never going to be great. | |
| Apr 22, 2020 at 14:14 | comment | added | Piet Binnenbocht | I’m inclined to try that, since I already have a regular audio interface connected to my macbook. Still it’s a whole lot of wiring for something that should be simple.... | |
| Apr 22, 2020 at 14:04 | comment | added | jksoegaard | Yes, if you have an existing USB audio interface, they usually work OK with iOS devices - however note that you almost always have to have a powered USB hub to connect it through. Even that has sometimes given me problems with the iOS device giving warnings about not enough power. | |
| Apr 22, 2020 at 13:45 | comment | added | Piet Binnenbocht | Thanks! That was the missing link! Apparently you can even use regular audio interfaces with an iphone! youtu.be/Sc-_LiuqiRA | |
