Tried it with -iPhone 4 -iPad 2 & 3 -Voice Memo app -Vocalive -generic Vocal app and no sound from any of these devices. The 5 star review is obviously a fake. Am I missing something? This thing just doesn't work.
Do you record stuff with your phone? No? Well, now maybe you should try it, because you can plug a real mic in, and the sound won't totally suck. The iXZ (not sure why they called it that, but it doesn't sound as dumb as iHaveAPreAmp) is simple, small, battery-powered, and effective. Like the IK Multimedia iRig and other guitar jacks, the iXZ adapts a guitar plug to the 4 conductor jack on your smartphone (yes, iPhone and Android and probably crackberry too), allowing input to a recording app, as well as output monitoring through a headphone jack. But way better than a mere guitar jack, or any of the dedicated microphone attachments such as the Blue Mikey, or Tascam's own iM2, the iXZ also supports any microphone you can connect with an XLR cord. That could be a basic handheld dynamic, or a Telefunken U47, if you happen to have one laying about. The iXZ has adjustable gain, not a lot, but as much as you'd expect for something with two AA batteries in it, and the phantom power without having to plug into a wall outlet is nice. It is truly portable. One of the best attributes of this little wonder is that it enables a host of apps, not just recording and sequencing, but audio tools such as spectrum analyzers and oscilloscopes, allowing you to evaluate sound chain changes scientifically, using signal splitters or your best mic, rather than the adequate, but sad, built-in mic on your phone with all of its attendant directionality and proximity effects. The Alesis I/O Dock also performs these tasks nicely, with the addition of a second channel, MIDI, and all that good stuff, but it doesn't work so great without a wall outlet nearby, and it only works with the iPad. The iXZ works with just about everything, and what it does it does well, and it does it in your pocket for less than a Benjamin.
This fairly straight forward device should have worked, except it didn't. The iPhone connector wasn't recognized by the iphone because on record, the iphone is still recording from the iphone microphone. I tried searching the net for any issues with this product and only found one comment in a youtube video that indicated another person had the same issue and Tascom might have sent them a washer to fix. I don't want a product that doesn't work. Will be returning.
