Reviews for Apogee JAM Guitar Input

I chose this device over others because it was supposed to work with Garage Band. I have the iPad with IOS 4.3.4 and it does not work.

Hopefully, I can successfully upgrade to IOS 5. No better experience then trying to get PC accessories to work sometimes. I thought Apples' strength was that their products just worked together.

Easy to use and set up. Great sound quality ...should have made it a bit heavier

I love my jam. and it works so well with the GarageBand app!

I simply can't believe Apogee nor Apple does not have the brainpower to solve this problem. Like apparently many other buyers, I have an iPad2, updated to latest iOS version 5.1, brand new JAM with Firmware revision listed as 1.5.0 and Hardware Revision listed as 2.0.0. GarageBand on iPad2 is version 1.2.

Same problem as many others...green light is on the Jam device but no light from GarageBand monitor on my iPad2 showing connectivity.

HOW CAN NEITHER SIDE STEP UP TO THE PLATE? arrrrrgggghhhhh.

This is a problem that should have been fixed months ago. Where's the software upgrade that will let us use the darn device properly?

Anyone else severely frustrated????

This has to be by far THE BEST sounding converter for iOS devices! I am extremely happy with my purchase. This device is easy to use, I simply plug it in, open up GarageBand on my iPhone or iPad and BAM a full mobile recording studio right in my hand!
I've even tried using a simple dynamic mic, and it sounds great! Perfect way to jot down all these ideas in my head before hitting up the recording studio. The sound this device offers simply beats all other similar products out there. I use Apogee in my home studio, and love the sound of their equipment! I'm glad they made it to the mobile world.

You have GOT to get JAM. No problems no issues. I registered my Jam when I bought it and Apogee sent me an email about a product update for jam. It added 48k sampling capability and addressed a connection issue with iOS 5 and iPad. Sorry LP from Utica, I don't know how you contacted Apogee or if you did but their customer support is the best. Just contact them and they'll get you straightened out.

I bought this unit, plugged it in - it worked perfectly right off the bat. No drivers to install. I could not have asked for a better result. I highly recommend the Apogee JAM. It is however a little pricey — but as they say — you get what you pay for.

I just got this today, and I can already tell it is a brilliant product. It worked right out-of-the-box, with only a little bit of fiddling. The only gripe I have isn't really with the Jam, it's with GarageBand. I feel like GarageBand should have a button or switch that turns the input on, or off. As it is, I have to exit the app and re-enter until the light on the jam turns green. Not a big problem, just a thought.
Overall great device! I would recommend it to anyone.

I use this device in my personal studio, for live performances, and any other situation. If you travel a lot.. and want a 1/2 inch input that is always reliable.. this is your tool.
