Hi AF Community! Does anyone have a tried and true method they recommend for recording taped auditions? Up to this point, I have only used my iPhone, which sounds okay, but I always feel like dynamics and balance are inaccurate, especially when recording chamber music. I’m looking for the minimum equipment I need for good quality audition recordings, with the option for just audio or audio and video.

An inexpensive Zoom field recorder for audio will make a drastic improvement over your iPhone. I've used the H4N Pro for years, but even the H1N at around $70 USD records at a high quality that you and the people who listen to your recording will notice. If video is necessary, take the video on your phone, and combine audio/video in a video editing software, or look for a field recorder with a camera built in.
