Last week, Sonoma Wire Works - makers of the FourTrack recording app, announced the GuitarJack audio interface.
GuitarJack connects a wide range of instruments, microphones, and other audio hardware to iPhone and iPod Touch via 1/4 inch instrument and 1/8 inch stereo mic/line inputs. Its 30 pin connector fits with iPod touch (2nd and 3rd generation), iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G - but is not compatible with iPhone 4 or iPad.
Addressing the most frequent request from musicians who use FourTrack, GuitarJack makes both level control and input monitoring possible when using a GuitarJack enhanced app. Used with FourTrack, GuitarTrack allows for recording in the following three modes. Record from the Instrument (1/4 inch) input only in mono. Record audio from the Mic/Line (1/8 inch) input in mono, dual-mono or stereo. Record both inputs, with the instrument input and the mic/line input (right channel) recording to separate tracks.
Sonoma Wire Works is also developing the TaylorEQ app for the GuitarJack. The free TaylorEQ app will allow Taylor Guitar players to hear and adjust the tone of their guitars playing through the GuitarJack using EQ settings custom designed by Taylor Guitars.
GuitarJack and TaylorEQ are scheduled to ship in Q3 2010.
Update: Available from September 15th.
