Welcome

Here at the Guerrilla Guide to Music Technology I want to make a safe haven for those of us who want to know about the fascinating devices and techniques that make up this diverse area, without making people feel small or stupid for not knowing something. I used to not know stuff until somebody taught me, now I aim to make everything clear without patronising anyone. Nobody knows everything, including me so if you find something wrong or something that you think that everyone could benefit from knowing then please do tell me in the comments.

JACK for iOS

I talk about JACK increasingly it seems in the LINUX recording tutorials (available from the list on the right), and now users of Apple's iOS get to use it on a mobile device. Users of the iPhone or iPad can download JACK Audio Connection Kit which, is a free app from the Apple App Store released by Christian Schoenebeck. There are currently only two apps that are compatible with JACK on iOS at this time, but I expect that this list will grow relatively quickly. Audiobus is a more established app that performs the same role on iOS that jack promises, and has a larger number of apps that work with it. JACK will have to work hard to achieve similar compatibility on iOS. With JACK already solidly in use in MY studio at least, I hope this app evolves to be usable over networks similar to how it is already on more traditional desktop environments. I can see definite advantages to using an iPhone as a microphone and speaker/headphone source for a talkback or monitoring channel in a studio using JACK.
