Riffster Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Went to the free GarageBand recording class at Guitar Center yesterday and picked up and Apogee Jam afterwards. Up until now I used my Boss Micro BR to practice with headphones but never got good results recording, I sold it and decided it is time I do it all through GarageBand. The sound quality is excellent and it is a simple setup that works with my MacBook Pro and my iPhone. The only disadvantage is that I have to buy an adapter for the 30 pin cable to 8 pin for iPhone 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riffster Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 So far so good, I have dialed in some useable tones, you know how it is with software modeling, lots of places to tweak for a single tone then you plug a different guitar and it sound different. I like the simplicity and the fact that it leaves the headphone out free on my Mac and iPhone sot I can plug my headphones directly. The latency varies, but I have noticed that if you plug in and open GarageBand in the order the instructions tell you to the latency is very minimal. Very simple plug an play. I ordered the adaptor for iPhone 5, that's in the mail. I am not to thrilled about Apogee not including it but I did not want to wait until they do.

Tman Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Great stuff! I use apogee for my input into Pro Logic on the Mac. Love it. The jam is cool and so portable. Post some recorded stuff will you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 Yea, I bought the JAM because of the portability, Shred come to think about it if you are home at a desk your USB interface will do. The advantage of this device is to be able to plug in anywhere on my MacBook Pro or my iPhone. Tman, sure I will record some riffs soon, I am curious as to how it sounds recorded. I still want to record with my amplifiers but I will use modeling to lay down the song so I can get the drums and bass right to then replace the guitar parts.
