Scmalcolm, re the weak connector have you tried it with a 32 pin cable attached to phone? Solves the problem of it coming loose for me.

The line 6 support for this product is quite frankly attrocious!! I have sent support tickets also about this problem and they have as yet chosen to ignore all reasonable questions about this product.

I am a longtime line6 fan with an original POD, a Flextone III amp, FBV footboard controller, the full Pod Farm 2 software suite, a KB37 keyboard interface, and the MobileIn + MobilePOD package which I run on multiple iPad / iPhone combinations.

The Amp and effects models paired with the Mobile In digital link delivery simply the best sound quality out there. If you put on a pair of serious headphones and compare the sound quality of the Mobile In to iRig or similar competitors, it is literally a joke how much better line 6 sounds.

That said, I am with the group here. I have been patiently waiting for the ability to record into Garage Band or similar DAW solutions. Without that support, Mobile In is just a toy, and all those amp models are nothing more than time killers.

Now that audiobus has arrived, I am shocked that Line 6 hasn't released support or at least commented that its coming. The SDK for audiobus is open source for cryin out loud! There is no excuse for this.

That, plus the weak pin connector that is constantly falling out make mobile in basically just a waste of great software and a novelty.

1. Support audiobus.

2. fix the connector pin and you will have a runaway best seller.

3. add a few bass amps and replace the volume and wah pedals with additional effects.

Now you have a runaway market leader in this exploding mobile recording space.

Come on guys, you are so close to perfection - make it happen!

Certainly the easiest and cheapest way for us to record guitar would be audiobus implementation. Recording on ios devices is huge these days. This app isn't ideal for live setup as the mobile in falls out of the jack too easily. Set up in a nice controlled environment it would work well for recording but as it exists right now, it's like demo software. You play around with it but can,t do too much with it that's practical. Please get us audiobus support.

Actually we have looked at this area quite intensively. It turns out that Bluetooth audio streaming adds latency that you don't even notice in a phone call, but you really wouldn't like it for guitar playing. Other audio output streaming technologies like AirPlay have similar issues, only with more extreme delays. This is unfortunate since the convenience would be great, but these technologies aren't very well suited to realtime musical performance.

Audiobus is now released, but no mobilepod app support yet.

One feature I would like to see among what has already been said about connector stability is compatibility with Bluetooth headsets. Makes for one less set of leads when using. Any idea if this is being seriously considered by Line6 development people? I am using with iPhone 5 which has shifted the headset jack to the bottom of the phone next to the lightning jack...

Audiobus in and out capabilities to the mobile pod software would solve the problem for me. It would also make a very good fx processor for use with multitrack daw.

Chris, having all that good news about mobile in being compatible, in my opinion is worthless without some reassurance that to whoever has bought and is thinking of buying it ,that line6 who markets itself as being a manufacturer of creative music products IS going to address the fundamental issues that users have brought to your attention. It has the potential to be a fantastic addition to the mobile recording market, the lack of response on the behalf of line6 makes this situation all the more frustrating.

Ah, thanks for pointing that out -- actually no, in general we're unable to discuss unannounced app updates either… and we're really sorry about that, too! What I can say is that we're totally aware of the issues you list there. That, and that there's even more good news on the compatibility front (if you haven't already heard): In addition to iPhone 5, the Apple branded Lightning-to-30-pin adaptors also let Mobile In work with iPad with Retina Display, iPad Mini, and iPod touch 5G. And while iPod touch 4G owners still can't use Mobile In, the new tone auditioning feature does work for them now.

Hello Chris

Can you discus existing products?

Is mobile pod going to be updated to support record and copy/paste audio?

Is audio bus also going to be supported?

Not having a record function within mobile pod seriously compromises the use of it as mobile creative tool.

Pleased to read though its compatible with iPhone 5 :-)
