Re: recording, using an iPhone

I strongly recommend the VERY simple VERY high quality recorders from Zoom.

The Zoom H2N is an all in one system. You can record onto an SD card or use USB 2.0 to download directly onto computer. You literally just set it down and the room and press record.

You still want to be 10 to 15 feet away from a clarinet to pick up critical room interactions and maybe set the audio to custom making sure the peaks of your loudest recorded sounds don't make it flash in the red. BUT, other than that you don't have to worry about microphones, interfaces, DAWS (digital audio workstations) or any of that.

Sure you can get better sounds if you have better and better separates (mics, pre-amps, digital converters) but you can also sound much worse with that stuff if you are not very very well acquainted with how to make all that stuff sing properly.

Get a Zoom
