How good quality do the music supplements have to be (not applying as a music major)? Is it worth it to have it professionally recorded, or would a microphone or even an iPhone recording be acceptable? If a microphone, does anyone have any suggestions?
I think you want a good quality recording, but i don’t think it has to be absolutely professional. Just like a video camera could do the trick. Just try to find a room that will resonate your sound well. My advice would be to listen to the recording yourself once you are done to see if it sounds ok. Also keep in mind different college want different things; Some will accept only recordings but some may want to see a video recording.
