Music for iPad

Just wanted to share a link to the pre-amp that I am using in my music classroom that I had at the last meeting in Minden.

Cost: $129.95 (but watch for sales!!!  I got mine for $99)

It's GREAT!  A really easy "plug and play" machine.  It allows for an XLR microphone connection and a ¼ inch instrument connection.  The GREAT thing is that it will allow for BOTH inputs to record at the SAME time!!!  This means you can do a really great quality live recording.  This machine plus Garage Band has been an AWESOME addition to my music class - especially my vocal class.

There are other preamps out there (and some do cost less than this one), but to be able to record two distinct tracks at the same time is pretty useful and worth the extra bit of money.

There is a little bit of a learning curve (for some of us less techie types) to figure out which settings to use in Garage Band, but there are lots of YouTube tutorials out there that easily explain the process.
