I searched up how to fix my device but turned out there wasnt much i could do without ruining my fathers iPad 2. I was very very disapointed as i only got my Jam a few weeks ago.

That said, I prefer to record direct with a USB interface rather than mike my amp. That way if the cat meows loudly, it doesn’t recorded.

AmpKit Link (http://agilepartners.com/apps/ampkit/interfaces/), which in my experience is the best deal out there, matching Apogee for less money.

iRig by IK Multimedia (http://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/irig/index.php?pp=irig-specs) is pretty good too.

Both of these were built for iOS but connect just fine to any Mac that has the mini plug (post-2008 models).

The only downside is the cost and maintenance of tube amps. Would you agree?

Have you tried vjay and djay software by Algoriddim, I have been using djay to play back playlists instead of using iTunes.
