iPhone 7 and Garage Band?

[drittal]

what do I need to use garage band app on my iPhone 7+ with an instrument. The phone came with a headphone adaptor cable. Would an old style iRig with the headphone poet connector work through this or do I need the more expensive iRig2 with the fancy modern iPhone port connection?

Thanks in advance!!!

The headphone adapter that comes with the iPhone 7 is better than most people are going to believe.
Yes, a regular iRig would work but due yourself a favor and check out the iRig Nano. One step up for a practice amp.

But you have to have an iRig or similar adaptor, correct? I can't just get a 1/4" to headphone jack adaptor and plug into the headphone cord that came with the phone?

iRig 2 has little pre-amp to better match the level from your bass to the iPhone
It also has jacks for headphones, and a jack for the amp
They're $25 bucks on sale

Um, the iPhone 7/ 7+ don't have headphone ports anymore. Apple had been shaging over everyone in the audio game by getting rid of 1/8" stereo jacks and USB ports.

And no, you can't just use an 1/8" to 1/4" adapter.

Mine came with an adaptor that plugs into port on the bottom to plug in 3.5mm headphone jack

It took me a moment to realize that's what you were referring to.

Because the port handles digital signals, you need a Lightning port interface.

The Line 6 Sonic Port is good old or new VX version because both have headphone jacks built in.

The 3.5mm side will work with a regular Apple TRRS breakout adapter
It has A/D and D/A just like any lightning connector audio adapter.
That's how it works with an iRig 2
