Unless you an find an app to make a 150 millisecond microphone react 2000 times faster then the iphone isn't gonna cut it. On top of that the iphone software incorporates automatic gain reduction in order to protect the system from excess noise peaks.
You may be able to turn off the protective software but you can't turn a cheapo microphone into an expensive calibrated free field microphone specifically designed for capturing impulse noise can you? This discussion has EVERYTHING to do with the design and construction of the microphone and its ability to react to a noise front passing over it.
Really? So this post by you was just an honest question and not dripping with sarcasm?
The funny thing is that I get to work with these devices all the time and you will never get to use one. What you drool over I consider everyday objects. I believe Charlie Sheen said it best ...... WINNING!
You are free to make like a jerkoff and act all Mr Knowitall about a subject on which you don't know $hit or you can actually listen and learn something. The choice is yours.
I am done with this particular waste of my time.
This, and every other one of your posts in this thread drip with douchebag... the iphone question seemed innocent enough to me, why not just nicely answer the mans question, even if you regard it as silly. Maybe there is some history of previous bickering I am unaware of.
Regardless of your apparent knowledge on the subject, sounds like you are the one acting "like a jerkoff and acting all Mr know it all."
And yes, we are jealous of your cans, no need to rub salt in my wounds
