iOS, iPhone, iPad and music 101

That setup won't give you sound. You don't have anything in the output.
You have to designate where the signal goes after Jamup, and you also won't get bass out of this setup. You will get the drums, effected by Jamup.
You need to separate the functions. Record your drums. Then record the bass.
Thanks for the help, makes total sense. I put the DAW in the output, works great now. I figured it would be an easy fix, I hate not being tech savvy. Thanks again Rip
Trying to get in to this iOS thing. I have an iPhone 4 and my wife just got an iPad, which hopefully she will let me use occasionally! I downloaded Jamup on both devices and played around with it a bit. Really like how it sounds even through my crappy headphones. What do I need to make a usable rig? I have the iRig adapter. Should I get a 30 pin cable? If so which one? What is a good method to connect to my amp or a PA? Can some of you post pics of your setup? Thanks!
I use the Apogee Jam to connect my bass to my iPhone. The irig is ok, but way too noisy to use live. The 30-pin is the way to go for interfaces.
Coming out of my iPhone 4S, I use an 1/8" to dual RCA cable w/ 1/4" adapters. Using only the left side (use left for mono), I run into a DI box before splitting the signal to the PA and my amp.

What rip said....
From your iRig interface to a pa you will need a male stereo 1/8" to a left and right mono male 1/4"
This....

I always used the 1/8 stereo to split RCA then had an RCA to 1/4" adapter
That's what I used before I went to a USB to 30 pin interface
Either way....only the left side of the split should be used to go to a pa/FOH
To get to FOH one should always use a DI box to change the signal to a balanced signal using an XLR cable into a mic channel on the mixer board for FOH.
FYI, the same cable is available from Amazon for much less.

Oops! The first one is shorter than the one Adambomb linked. That one is still less expensive at Amazon:

Yeah get one that is best for you....you may have one already...I wasn't suggesting that you buy that one per se, I had only posted the link to give a visual representation of what's needed.
RE: iPhone 5, digital interface(s), Lightening-->30-pin adapter, etc
I've lost track of who is using what: help, please!
Is there any reason to NOT believe that most 30-pin iOS digital interfaces will work with an iPhone 5 and appropriate Lightening to 30-pin adapter? Do we know if there are any problems with some interfaces and the iPhone5?
Does the Art Dual play nicely with the iPhone 5?

I don't think so, only with an iPad. CCK works only with an iPad, so any true compliant USB class device will work with an iPad, but an iPhone will need specific support like the Apogee Jam.
correct...
the cck's actual name is the IPad Camera Connection Kit.
pluging the CCK into an iphone of any generation gives the message "this accessory is not compatible with this device"
i dont know why because it seems that its the same ios its the same connections and the same apps but i havve heard if you have a jailbroken iphone then there is a cydia thing you can do that allows the cck to work on your iphone....i do not recommend jailbreaking your iDevice....but to me that just tells ya that it is possible to have the cck to work with iphones.....why does apple lock out the ability to do so?
Thanks, fellas.
As unfortunate as it is, it makes sense - the reason why it won't work, vs. why it will with iPad. Indeed, RIp: $/control.
So, what'dya think?......Apogee Jam, or wait a while (because I DO have an AmpKit Link, and it ain't so bad)? Peavey's upcoming AKLink HD is behind the times, it seems, as it also uses the headphone out; redundant and disappointedly late-to-the-ball-game.
Suggestions?

If you're planning on using it live, go with the Apogee. It's a GREAT sounding interface. I never have to use noise filters anymore since getting mine. The sound is incredible. Not a lot of options but it does what it does well.
Any of the headphone/mic jack interfaces will suffer from extremely unpredictable noise, especially when in a room full of lights, computer monitors (and cash registers), and power amps. I wouldn't even consider using the iRig in that sort of environment.
