Introducing the GuitarJack Audio Interface. GuitarJack connects a wide range of instruments, microphones, and other audio hardware to iPod touch (2nd and 3rd generation) via 1/4-inch instrument and 1/8-inch stereo mic/line inputs.

Input Monitoring: Input monitoring is on by default in FourTrack. The input signal can be heard through the 1/8″ headphone output on the GuitarJack via the GuitarJack Song Tool so you can adjust your input settings, but will be silent when you exit the GuitarJack Song Tool. Arming a new track will begin monitoring in the headphones.

GuitarJack is compatible with many recording apps, guitar tuners, and audio effects apps, even if they do not have a GuitarJack control panel. To change modes or set levels for use with third party apps, configure the settings using an app with the GuitarJack control panel (FourTrack or Taylor EQ and then quit to launch the third party app. The GuitarJack will retain the current settings and levels. Stereo recording and simultaneous instrument and voice recording is only possible while using GuitarJack with FourTrack.
