iPod/iTalk voice recording
Hi Paul I have the plug to go into iTalk. The amp is for an audience. There is an output on the amp which works when plugged into a Windows laptop but not when plugged into iTalk/iPod. I have recorded successfully so far by recording from the PA speaker but there is a lot of background noise. I need to get a 'clean' sound by recording from the amp. I am going to try using another line from the amp to the iPod. Thanks for your help Paul, much appreciated.

This would probably only require a small adapter for the end of your microphone lead so it can plug into the iTalk's external mic input - 3.5mm mini-jack. Is there a reason why you need to use the amp? Apart from playing it *at* the iTalk that is;) Is the amp for an audience? If you do need to use it, there needs to be an output on the amp. All you would need then is a cable with suitable ends to go between the amp and the iTalk. If you have tried the above to no avail then the problem may be in the vicinity of the iPod/iTalk itself. I take it you have recorded successfully with the built-in mic in the iTalk. Is there control software for the iTalk? Maybe you need to select the external mic port or some such. Out of my league there, I try not to think about iPods, I dont know much about G5s either;) Also, try plugging in a known good source before you go too much further. Someones computer mic or similar that is working in another device. Good luck Paul PS searching formums (fora?) can sometimes help fill gaps too
Re: iPod/iTalk voice recording
I don't know if this applies but some info from the iPodLounge site forums (though I don't know how accurate this is)/ It seems the italk requires a Dynamic microphone, not a condenser mic. Many others reported problems with external mics and there were claims Griffin had acknowledged the problem. I went to Griffins site but could find no mention. It may be worth contacting their support. All the best Greg Sharp On 17/11/04 10:38 PM, Edward Arrowsmith [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Paul I have the plug to go into iTalk.

iPod/iTalk voice recording
About 10 days ago I posted about my problem recording with iTalk and an iPod from an external mic through a (pre)amp. I still have not sorted the problem. Currently I record by putting the iPod in front of the PA speaker. But I want to thank Mark Secker, Greg Sharp and Paul Kitchener for their input, I really appreciate the time you took to help. Best wishes edward

I am trying to record a voice using an external mic into an amp and then line out to iPod via iTalk. There is only silence when I record. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks and Best wishes edward
Re: iPod/iTalk voice recording
I'd try just recording through the iTalk's built in microphone to see if it's working properly first. If that works then try plugging the external mike into the iTalk and see if it still works. This won't fix the problem but it will isolate where the problem may be. Is it essential that the mike goes through an external amp first?
