\"\"<\/span>Here are a couple new products from IK<\/a> Multimedia<\/a> that should appeal to iDevice owning voice actors, voiceover artists, and soundtrack singers.<\/p>\n

The first is the iRig<\/a>Mic<\/a>, a handheld microphone that plugs directly into your iPhone or iPad. It’s even got a headphone jack built in to the connector. \u00a0I tired it out at their booth, but the show floor was way too noisy to judge the iRig Mic’s sound quality. \u00a0Hopefully they’ll be sending a review unit my way. \u00a0 They were demonstratingtheir\u00a0mic with their recording app, VocaLive<\/em> (not yet released in the app store). \u00a0It looks nifty, but I’m hoping other apps will utilize the mic equally well.<\/p>\n

Next up is the iKlip<\/a>, a mount that attaches your iPad directly to a\u00a0mic stand. THIS I dig. \u00a0I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to change the script in the middle of a voice-over session. \u00a0With this mount, I’m no longer forced to quickly scribble the new copy in my illegible handwriting. \u00a0I can just type in the changes, and mount my iPad right in front of my voiceover artist. \u00a0Nice! \u00a0I think this will also be a big hit with musicians, but that’s a story for another web site<\/a>.<\/p>\n
