GuitarJack 2, Pictures, Thoughts, Amazement
"But what really strikes you is the quality of the GuitarJack Model 2. Not just the external build quality, but the sound quality through the device. I can't remember where I read it, but I remember that someone had written that they thought that there was something wrong with the guitarjack when they plugged in their guitar because there was no noise, but it wasn't broken, just noiseless. Well I found that too. The line in is great too, it works very well to have a stereo in for the iPhone or iPad."

Sonic Touch - iPad Music Show Ep 5
Gaz says, "This is the Rolls Royce...the GuitarJack Model 2... it's made of out metal...it's a completely different kettle of fish from the other ones. This has got a guitar jack in, a headphone output, and it's also got a stereo input. If you use Sonoma's own software, you can actually record multiple inputs simultaneously...it works beautifully with an iPhone and with an iPad... a [dock extender] cable with an iPad 2 makes a nice join. Look at the quality of that, it's just beautiful, it's just gorgeous. It sounds great. The converters on this are designed by someone who's famous for Universal Audio front end stuff, so it's got good heritage. You can really feel the quality."

"Sonoma Wire Works created an app called FourTrack which is the app Partin used for the recording process...

Sonoma Wire Works DrumCore 3 Review
"A great collection of audio loops, sampled kits and MIDI loops played by a host of killer drummers. In a word, DrumCore v3.0 is flexible. You have your choice of dragging audio loops or MIDI files onto the timeline in your favorite recording application. The latter affords you some incredible options, like hearing Terry Bozzio laying down a fat 5/4 groove played back through Matt Sorum's sampled drum kit. Whether you want to kick some funky grooves with Zoro, or get down and dirty with John Tempesta, or add some Latin flavor with Luis Conte's congas, you'll be hard-pressed to find a single collection that offers this depth and functionality."

"Sonoma Wire Works managed to gather a bunch of independent Developers on their booth at Musikmesse, each showing Apps which made of the Sonoma Wire Works' AudioCopy/Paste standard, which allows iOS music apps to exchange audio data between them - which is cool. But there was also a neat bit of hardware on display too - a high-end Audio Recording Interface and software (GuitarJack), which looks like it will give the market leaders a run for their money... A 24-bit AD/DA and a bunch of pretty impressive specs round up what looks to be a pretty capable device."
Doyle Bramhall II: Songwriter/Player/Producer
"My home studio is my phone and my studio application is FourTrack. I've actually done pretty much everything, all of my production ideas including the entire Sheryl Crow album, on my iPhone. We actually used some of the files from the FourTrack off my iPhone and it ended up making the final cut of Sheryl's album. I travel all the time so my home studio is my iPhone." -Doyle Bramhall II
App Smart Extra: GuitarJack
"The GuitarJack plugs into your mobile device's 30-pin connector, unlike other devices, which connect to the headphone port. Sonoma's president, Douglas Wright, said the device filters noise more completely as a result, and my informal tests supported his assertion... it's meant for more serious musicians who'd like a mobile recording studio in their pocket."
