Hi Richard,
Focusrite Tape is pretty good: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/tape-by-focusrite/id681747796?mt=8
However, the audio quality will depend to a large extent on where you position the iPad, what the background noise levels are like etc. A couple tips from having done a lot of podcasting workshops with young people / music recording:
- Make sure the iPad microphone isn't covered by anything.
- Make a short test recording with the organist playing at the same levels s/he will be during the concert, then listen back to it on headphones so you can judge the audio quality. If it's too loud and is sounding distorted, move the iPad further away; if the sound is too faint / there is too much audience noise, move the iPad closer to the sound source.
- Don't move the iPad when recording has started.
- Rest the iPad on something soft (e.g. a folded-up pullover) to reduce vibrations, e.g. from people walking around on wooden floors.
If you ever need to buy a good stand-alone audio recorder, anything from the Zoom family of hand-held audio recorders is highly recommendable (http://www.zoom.co.jp).
Hope that helps!
All the best,
Luke Roskilly
