Apogee’s Jam hooks guitars up to iPad
Once Apple’s Garage Band for iPad launches, you’re going to need a way to hook up your guitar or bass to the tablet. And the widget you need may just be the Jam from Apogee Digital, an in-line adapter that piped your instrument’s audio right into any iPod, iPad or Mac.
The Jam is a 24-bit analog-to-digital converter, and outputs a signal that can be sent to any Core-Audio capable app, including the new Garage Band for iPad. It also has a gain control knob on the side, so you can easily change the input level whilst playing.
The Jam costs $99. The iPad starts at $500, and Garage Band is $5. Add those together and you still don’t get close to the original $1,200 Canadian price-tag of the four-track, cassette tape based Portastudio from Tascam that was, during the 1980s, the recording tool of choice for garage bands the world over.
