Multiple Audio apps?

[macdoofus]

oops, please skip to Message #4 I rephrased the question - thanks.


I searched but didn't see for Fall 2009 Ipod Touch.

re: need to run multiple apps....
I'd like to practice singing using backing tracks from iTunes. So I need to have another app record-armed for the microphone - it doesn't have to record, just record ready so I can hear myself through some microphone - with a music track running on iTunes.

Is this possible on the latest iPod Touch?

Thank you.

You can play music in the background of any app.

You can play music in the background of any app.

...then the iPod Touch is really going to help my productivity!

Thanks Muncher!

I rephrased the title because I have a narrower question. Muncher maybe you'll now this too. I think what I'm after is full-duplex audio.

summary, can the Touch play:
one audio app for playback through headphone, another different audio app to monitor mic input, running at same time. So, two audio apps running concurrently.

In otherwords:
I'd like to record, or at least monitor, the microphone input with one program, some audio recording app, and at the same time play audio through headphone from a different\seperate app (maybe iTunes maybe a lighter footprint app).

Thanks again!

IIRC the touch has (since the 2G) had a voice memo app that records through the mic. I believe you can run it while playing music. It's nothing fancy, but it works fine. Hope that helps.
