Sometimes literally just placing my iPhone next to my monitors and recording the track through Voice Memos sounds cooler to me than my actual finished mixes.

There’s something about the iPhone compression, especially in the low end, plus the slightly gluey sound, and this kind of “found footage” realism that makes it feel more modern and vibey in a way my clean mix doesn’t always capture.

The only downside is that it lacks clarity and detail compared to the proper mix.

Has anyone tried blending their finished mix with an iPhone recording like this? If so, what’s the best way to do it without running into phase issues or weird artifacts?

Thanks.
