Audiobus: Use your music apps together.
What is Audiobus? — Audiobus is an award-winning music app for iPhone and iPad which lets you use your other music apps together. Chain effects on your favourite synth, run the output of apps or Audio Units into an app like GarageBand or Loopy, or select a different audio interface output for each app. Route MIDI between apps — drive a synth from a MIDI sequencer, or add an arpeggiator to your MIDI keyboard — or sync with your external MIDI gear. And control your entire setup from a MIDI controller.

how to- phantom powered mic into lighting plug
How can I use my phantom powered microphone with my iphone that only has a lighting port?
Comments
For stationary use: any class compliant interface with micpre and phantom power will do.
(quality of preamp and ad-converter defines price)
For mobile use such items exist in tube shape, including battery and interface, pluggable into the mic socket. Search for 'voice over ios' will probably show some... (I forgot the brand name)
.
yeah i’m looking for more of a mobile situation. what is this product your talking about?
will this work with an ios headphones-lighting adapter ?
Many shotgun mics accept batteries to power themselves or if the mic is given then something like this should do the trick

wow... nice long link
It should work just like a standard headset (4 way jack - mic in / stereo out)
awesome thanks for the tips guys
@eross sorry, my search advice above wasn't very useful...
Here's a comparison of 4 such devices, a bit dated though (recordinghacks is a fairly solid source)

ps: you may get along with 16bits as a condensor mic has a relatively high output, while dynamic mics almost require 24bits (unless shouted at them).
Choice also depends on the mic you already have.
If it's high quality, invest in a good adapter - otherwise an Apogee Mic might be a good alternative, even the 1st version. @flo26 did very nice recordings with that device.
