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

Hi Edward

By the way Griffin has made this I suppose they expect a mic plugged directly into the iTalk. 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
