MMi at Macworld: GuitarJack 2 Coming in March

[Wiley John Wright]

Sonoma Wire Works is coming out with the GuitarJack 2 ($149) in March, the sequel to the popular guitar interface for iPhone and the iPod Touch. It features a 1/4-inch instrument input so you can connect guitars, mics, basses, keyboards and other instruments to an iOS device via the dock connector. It also has a 1/8-inch stereo mic/line input and a headphone jack that offers better sound quality and volume than the standard headphone jack on the iPhone.

It also comes with a free app that let’s you set levels and gain. GuitarJack works with Sonoma Wire Works other apps as well including Taylor (Free), FourTrack ($9.99), and Recorder ($.99). It’s also compatible with other recording apps as well, so you’re not just limited to the apps available from Sonoma Wire Works.

The iOS is really starting to come into its own as a valuable music tool. With GuitarJack 2, you can turn your iPhone into a portable recoding studio. Sure, you’ll have to record every instrument individually, but many artists record that way anyway. GuitarJack 2 feels quite solid in your hand and is very well built. It should survive just about anything you though at it. The iPhone 4 by comparison, feels more fragile than the GuitarJack. If you’ve been looking for a way to record guitar on your iPhone, then look no further than GuitarJack 2. I doubt you’ll find anything better.

Looks nice

Mics, not mikes... I don't think we are going to be plugging in too many bald black men that can dunk from the foul line...

with guitarjack 1 you can record two inputs simultaneously on separate tracks in fourtrack, contrary to the suggestion above (I assume gj 2 would have this feature). This is v cool (vocal and guitar at same time on separate tracks) and I'm psyched it will be iPad and ip4 compatible soon!

Ouch that's steep pricing, hopefully they'll reconsider that price point. ©

I don't know ikmultimedia's IRig&Amplitube together with all the inapp purchases is like $70.00 bucks cheaper.

Yeah, I have that one. Cost me 40.00 at guitar center. Super simple to use and does everything that this one does.

It doesnt work with iPad too?

That's true I think it would be much more beneficial on the iPad.
