Hi Pesente,
Many thanks for your input here. I have to confess that I didn't fully unde=
rstand your explanation, probably because I'm not really awake yet! If I di=
d understand that you're using the headphone OUT on the iRig, then I'm conf=
used, because I thought I'd read somewhere that the headphone OUT was not p=
assed through from the iRig, but was a return from the iPhone? BUT, I'm not=
that well educated in this area, so I probably got it wrong.
Anyway, one method I was going to try, being quite lazy, was this:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330820239423?ssPageName=3DSTRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=
=3Dp3984.m1423.l2649
To make it neater you could cut off the headphone lead and insulate. The on=
ly problem with this is, if what I heard is correct, then there wouldn't be=
any signal from the iRig headphone output.
Can you enlighten me on any of this please?
Cheers
Max
