My iRig

iRig from IK Multimedia

I have several products from IK Multimedia. My favorite is my iRig. I use it very often and think it was a great investment for my music gear.

I use my iRig with my iPad2. I also use Garage Band for the iPad. I also use my iRig with my iPhone.

It allows me to play almost anywhere without much gear. I pull out my iPhone and BAMM! I am playing along with tunes on my iPhone.

Works on iPhone/iPod touch/iPad

1/4" female mono input jack connector

1/8" female stereo output mini-jack connector

Connect electric guitar and bass

Compatibility:

The iRig adapter is compatible with iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G, iPod touch (4th, 3rd and 2nd generation), iPad 2 and iPad.

I have had my iRig for over a year and it comes in handy in the most unlikely places. I have used it in my office to tune my guitar. I have used it in the stairwell of my office building. I have used it in my living room so my wife doesn't get annoyed.

I also have the iRig microphone and the iKlip for my iPad.

The only downside to the iRig that I have found is that the software that comes for free is not great. It seems very cheesy to buy a product and then have to pay more for the software to use the product. That is why I use Garage Band. I am an Apple fan so it only made sense.

If you are a musician and need a quick and easy way to record that lick that is runnin' through your head this may be just the ticket.
