hi all, i have used audio share, to record my Crafting Kingdoms podcast which you can find here on applevis, but that game required me to wear no headphones to play and understand it. can i use that app, audio share, or another, whilst wearing headphones, to record the output of the phone and my voice at the same time, to demonstrate games and other apps? thanks.

Generally what I've done in the past when recording a podcast in which I want to demo some iPhone apps, here is what I've done:

1. Connect my iPhone 6 to the input of my audio mixer using an 1/8th inch cable.
2. connect a microphone into another input of my audio mixer.
3. Spealk into the iPhone so that the phone can hear me, but my voice is picked up in good quality by my own microphone (not the iPhone's input).

This gives me a good track for the iPhone's output and another quality track for my voice. Thus, in my case, the iPhone isn't recording anything. A bit complicated, but the final result is pretty high quality.

I do wonder if I ever get an iPhone 7 or 8 that doesn't have the 1/8th output jack how I can make such recordings. Is there any kind of adapter or method of getting the output from my iPhone directly into one of the inputs of the audio mixer if the iPhone doesn't have an 1/8th inch jack?

Thanks for any advice.
