Hey,

So I'm wondering what is the nest way to connect an electric guitar to an iPad 2 to use with GarageBand?

Cheers

This might help.

Cheers! I was looking and I think the iRig is probably the best value for money according to what people say about it.

I noticed there is also an iRig iMic. I wonder if you could plug the iRig, iMic and a pair of headphones (to listen to what you are playing on the guitar) all at the same time? That'd be awesome!

I have the iRig - but I can't seem to get a good level out of it. No matter what I try, the level is really, really low. Additionally, it uses the headphone jack, so it prevents sound from coming from the iPad's speaker - so if you want to monitor what you're doing, you need to use headphones.

Yeah I would be using my headphones with it

Apogee Jam is worth the extra dough. The pre is amazing and record-worthy. I also have irig but don't use it anymore.

Didn't see iMac comment in the iPad section. You need an audio interface. Focusrite makes a Scarlett 2 that sounds very good and is not expensive.
