Getting signals into and out of the iPhone and iPod touch

[FaberAST]

It was noted on the blog that the Belkin TuneTalk Stereo works with an iPhone 3GS running OS 3.0.1.  Is it known to work under OS 3.1.2?

Yes.

I'm considering trying a TuneTalk with SignalScope Pro, but would like some assurance that it will work before I purchase it.

It works fine. In fact, the TuneTalk is now the device I typically recommend.

Thanks Ben for the fast response.  I look forward to checking it out.

Hi Ben,

I've discovered an affordable dock solution for the ipod / iphone that has line in and line out facilities : the Djtech rec-in. I've tested this and both the iphone 3GS and the ipod touch 2G are happy to play music through the line out, and record voice memos via the line in.
However, signalscope pro won't recognise it as a line output device. When you plug it in, it briefly appears as "dock output" in the signal generator before changing to "receiver" (iphone) or "speaker" (ipod).
Do you know why this isn't being recognised? I have ensured that "prefer speaker output" is off.

Thanks,
Simon

Simon,

Some devices, including the Alesis ProTrack, do not support simultaneous input and output--these devices were designed for classic iPods rather than for iOS devices. It's possible that this is also true of the DJ-Tech device.

Thanks for your response Ben.

That may indeed be the explanation. I'll do some tests on the unit anyway and report back.

Hi everyone,

I wrote a review of the DJ-Tech REC_iN device. I haven't seen any rules saying external links aren't  allowed in this forum, so here it is:

I hope someone finds this useful.
