For a simple input device it works on the go

My guitar teacher gave me this during a beginners recording class that I took, and I have to say that for the simplicity it works pretty well. I have an older mac, and so the issues that I have had could be my computer, but sometimes the light will light up but no audio will be transferred to garage band. This is probably just my computer, but overall this product is a decent input device that can be used on the go.

Apogee JAM

This is another awesome product I have from Apogee. It's the easiest, most basic way of recording any instrument directly into a Mac, iPhone or iPad. Just plug in, adjust the gain and start recording! Works for guitars, keyboards, ukuleles, bass, even dynamic microphones if you have an XLR to 1/4" adapter. The sound is great too, of course!

You know, I’m a Marshall and Fender and all things lovely, with tubes and stuff. The [Apogee] JAM definitely has its place and being able to be in my hotel room at 3 in the morning when I wake up with an idea - It’s pretty cool to be able to actually not just play my acoustic, but pick up my electric and get a really decent… I mean sounds have come a long way, the plugins and the guitar sounds and everything. It’s much smaller, and much, much lighter than my Marshall rig. It’s always with me in my go-to bag and on the road."
