Does not work with iPhone or iPad
I had purchased this product based on the reviews that is it a great solution for iPhone and iPad recording using the camera adapt or. However it is no longer possible to use it for this as apple have restricted the power output of their devices with the upgrade to IOS 5, so this is completely useless unless used on a Mac laptop or desktop.

I'm going to use the Yeti to record voiceovers for auditions for commercials which software should i use?
- Asked by Charles S from Ithaca
- 02-Jan-2012
Answer
Garage Band is fine for this kind of thing - a few tips...
By default, when you first plug in the y eti, its not selected - just confirm you're not recording off your built in laptop mic!

Finally, with any Mic like this - most Pros will advise you to speak Across the mic instead of directly in it - this will avoid a number of audio problems such as over pronounced "P" and "B" sounds. …- Answered by Jack F from Lisle
