Ramzi, is that clip on obliged to go through an Android, or could I plug it strait into a multitrack recorder such as the Zoom R8 (Lots of jack sockets in the back)?
Not sure... Ask the people at IK directly, I would say.

You got it wrong way. You've been spending "here and there" with not so great results because you didn't get the right equipment.
All you really need is a microphone and a small USB interface with phantom power. You can even buy it in a bundle with cables and headphones included, software, etc. With this you can even connect your guitars directly with a cable.
What you can do with computer software is miles beyond the samsung + irig clip that you have now.. and without latency or extra stuff to buy (unless you want to).
That last video I posted for a guitar contest was all done with freeware... guitar amps, mixing effects, synths, etc.
Right now you've got a very crippled setup, neither the USB mic or the clip on thing are worth it for what you want.
Lenny was also a bit like you but this week he decided to follow my advice and got himself an interface for 50 bucks. He's just scratching the surface but already getting a great sound.. just wait until he plugs his electric guitar and starts using some amp sims.
I've tried these setups, and they are not compatible with the video recording software I use (cannot use such setups as the audio source for some reason). That means I'll have to start recording video and audio separately then merging them, and I really cannot be bothered to do that now.
I hear your points of view.
If I decide to overhaul everything that I do regarding audio and video recording at one point in the future, I will invest in proper gear (such as the audio setups you mention as well as a digital SLR camera).
Cheers!
PS: Blondie - agreed with your assessment about the AKG. Thanks, Ruphus, for suggesting it. Alas, it really sucked for recording...
