How to use your iPod to record your G-DEC:

This is great way to make quick one take/single stero track recordings with your
G-DEC and iPod.

You'll need an iPod microphone (like Belkin TuneTalk), headphones and some
cables (see below).

Setup like this:

1. Plug a Stereo, 1/4 (male) to mini jack (female) converter into the G-DEC head
phone jack 2. Plug a mini jack splitter into mini jack converter.

2. Into the splitter plug:

a. Mini jack head phones

b. Stereo mini jack cable (male on both ends) 3. Plug the other end of the mini
jack cable into the line-in of the Belkin TuneTalk (or other iPod microphone).
Make sure you set the TuneTalk switch to line-in 4. Use the iPod voice record to
make your recordings. Make sure you set it for Quality to High.

!!! Caution on G-DEC volume - The G-DEC headphone jack volume is control by the
G-DEC volume control and can exceed line-in level causing your headphones to be
very loud and the iPod to clip. I recomend setting the volume somewhere between
3 and 4. !!!

5. Sync the iPod to iTunes on your computer. The new files will show up in your
Voice Memos folder (in wave format).

6. Now use your favorite wave editor to make an final touches like clipping the begining/end and adjusting the level/volume. I use Blaze Media Pro for wave editing.

!!! Note on track level/volume - depending on how high the volume was on your
G-DEC, the resulting file can be to quite for use (around 5,000 samples).

You can use your wave editor to increase the level before you save it. In Media Pro,
I select the entire track and use the Amplify feature increase the volume of the
entire track until the peaks are around but under 30,000 samples. !!!

7. Once you make final edits to the track - convert it to MP3 or other audio
format. Most wave editors can do this conversion. In a pinch you can use
iTunes to make the conversion.

I leave my finished tracks in my iTunes libary and add MP3 tags and album art for
fun (family pictures, guitar picuture, etc...).

Happy Recording!!!
