It’s a clever hack, but I’m unclear if it could work with Skype (given that it’s sending and receiving call audio all the time, which is more complex than either playing or recording alone), and even so, it would require Skype to be updated to support the feature. There may be some workarounds possible-GarageBand and other apps have been written to use an app called Audiobus to send audio back and forth across apps. The moment Skype begins a call on iOS, it grabs control of the microphone and any other recording app is stopped in its tracks. And yet most of the podcasts I create on iOS require that I use a communications app-usually Skype-to talk to the other people on the podcast. And while the Mac’s innate audio-input abilities are not great (thank goodness for utilities like Audio Hijack and Sound Siphon and Call Recorder for Skype), they’re a darn sight better than what’s available on iOS.Īs with playing audio, only one app can record audio on iOS at one time. Only one app can play audio at a time-if you’re playing music and you open YouTube and start playing a video, your music doesn’t keep playing (as would happen on the Mac)-the music is stopped and then YouTube begins to play.
SOUND SIPHON HOW MAC
Even Federico Viticci of MacStories, who uses iOS to do his entire job, still uses a Mac for recording podcasts.Īudio on iOS is primitive when compared to OS X. That’s an easy answer-I didn’t-with a more complex issue wrapped inside it.
When I wrote about editing a podcast on iOS using the Ferrite Recording Studio app, and then discussed it on The Talk Show, I heard from a bunch of people who wanted to know what I used to record audio on the iPad.
