I have a (weird) question: Is it possible to connect a 3.5mm cable to a microphone‘s headphone out and the other end to a iPad‘s audio in, and record with it? I know an iPad is far from ideal, but there is no other options for me right now.

    TRRS is what the iPad uses for mic input and stereo output like in the typical corded apple earplugs (with a mic). The other end of the cable that goes to your mic is most likely a regular TRS. If you use a regular 3.5mm TRS on both ends, the audio will not be routed to the input of the iPad.

    But yeah, a camera connector kit or a cheap audio interface will be a better and more robust solution.
