"Metal Tiger"

[Cagey]

You might get better results just from microphone placement. As soon as you get any distance away from your sound source, things start to deteriorate rapidly. You start getting funny reflections that augment/cancel some frequencies, you lose dynamic range, etc. Look at any stage or recording setup. If they're not going direct, they place mics right in the speaker's face, inches away, where if you put your own head you'd tear it off.

As much as I know about iPhones you could engrave on the head of a pin with a blunt rock. But, I'll wager any recording app it has will necessarily include some heavy compression so you don't overdrive the input. So, I wouldn't worry about being too close to your sound source. Worth a shot, anyway.

Thanks for the helpful tips.  I might play around with it tomorrow and see what comes out of it.  Maybe Metal Tiger will get a debut, after all.  :laughing7:
