iOS, iPhone, iPad and music 101

Mine is a nasty distortion. When I raise my voice or if someone in the room talks loudly, it distorts. It has improved a bit since the incident but its definitely still damaged. There's also a constant ringing.

It was a simple LOUD pop that caused it and I've been suffering since.

I do like loud music but I've gotten used to keeping the volume under control. That's why I get so bent out of shape when my guitarist cranks up, because then I have to crank up just to hear myself.

If I could trust that I wouldn't be deafened by a blast of feedback from one of my bandmates, I'd use my IEM setup. But until I get a limiter on EVERY channel, I'll stick to wedges.
 
First experience with all this tonight. I am experiencing the crackling noise on Jamup, and remember folks on here saying how to get rid of it. But managed to get into GarageBand to lay down a beat track and basic recording. Recording levels were all wrong, of course, but at least I can see a path forward. Fun hour or so playing with the new toys.
 
soooo...... i don't use my pad as a bass amp, i still prefer a preamp pedal into a power amp, so it didna seem appropriate for that other 'pad thread. but here's what i run for my synthy keys setup. it's really neat having a few pedals on there to make the 'pad more gritty and wobbled -

and here's me noodling around with some beats and keys thingers -



i'm REALLY impressed with how solid the 'pad runs. i always make sure nothing is launched but the 2 or 3 apps i want to use to make noises and turn it to airplane mode. but it's surprised me tons.
