iPhone 4evah Sale Going On Now!

BLOG-IPHONE-4EVAH

Hot on the heels of introducing the first-ever Lightning connector cable to CableJive, the Lightlinez XS by Kenbug, we’re also remembering that most of the iPhones, iPads, and iPods in use today are unable to take advantage of these new connector accessories. We got our start working with the 30-pin connector, and this week we’re getting back in touch with our roots.

Starting today, we’re giving everyone the option to save 20% off all our 30-pin iPhone, iPad, & iPod accessories, including some of our all-time most popular products like the dockXtender, dockStubz, xlSync, & more! To get the deal, simply add any of the products you want that are found on our special “iPhone 4evah” page into your shopping cart, then click the banner at the bottom of the cart page before you checkout to apply your discount code.

Whether you just scored an iPhone 4 or 4S on the cheap, or you upgraded already but you know a few people who haven’t yet, it’s never been cheaper or easier to score some of the best 30-pin accessories ever.

ProJive XLR Cables Are Back In Stock!

Which is why today I’m very happy to announce that they are back in stock!

Plus, if you’re into appearances, they’re now sporting the slick-looking official CableJive packaging, which you can see to the right. If you’ve been waiting to get your hands on the best and easiest way to connect an XLR microphone to your iPhone, iPod, iPad, Android, Windows Mobile, Blackberry, or other mobile device, the wait is over! They’re available right now, and you can find them here:

ProJive Instrument: 1/4″ Guitar & More on iPhone, iPod, or iPad


Just as I did with the ProJive XLR cable last month,
I filmed a quick video showing how easy it is to connect the ProJive Instrument cable to play and record an electric guitar through an iPad, all while sending the audio out through a separate speaker system. See for yourself, then get yours and get-to rockin’!

ProJive Instrument and XLR w/ Android Devices

If you can’t tell, we’re super excited about our new ProJive XLR and ProJive Instrument cables. We also recently got our 1st Android tablet into the office, a Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus. All things considered, it’s a perfect time to give our Android brethren some love. Here’s what to expect when you get ProJive’n on your favorite desert-themed OS device.

Apps Tested: Voice Recorder (free), RecForge Lite (free)

ProJive XLR

Just as with the iPhone, which you can see in our ProJive XLR video, this cable has no problem working on Android devices. Simply open your favorite audio capturing app, plug in, and record. The quality of the audio seems to be dependent on the app your using, as we found “RecForge” captured much higher-quality audio than “Voice Recorder.”

ProJive Instrument

By connecting the ProJive Instrument cable to an electric guitar, and opening either of the apps mentioned above, you are able to capture the guitar’s audio. Great for practicing, brainstorming ideas, or working on song parts. As with the XLR cable, audio quality is dependent on the app you’re using.

However, in my quest to find a more suitable, Garage Band-esq app for the Android, I ran into quite a barrier: there isn’t one yet. It seems Android’s OS has some issues when it comes to low-latency audio capturing. I found a great post on Gear Diary exploring the issues facing music production on Android devices, which all aspiring Android musicians should read: ow.ly/af3K4.

It does appear that these issues are being worked on, so hopefully we’ll start seeing some quality music production apps arrive on Android soon. When they do, the ProJive Instrument cable will be ready help you conquer those too!

 

ProJive Instrument & XLR Cables Available Now!

Musicians: we have not forgotten you! Our new ProJive Instrument & ProJive XLR cables have arrived!

ProJive cables are the easiest, most straight-forward approach to connecting your mic, guitar, bass, & more to your iPod, iPad, iPhone, Android, Macbook or any other compatible device. Simply open up Garage Band, or any of the myriad of apps designed for audio recording, and get to work! Complete with a standard 1/8-inch (3.5mm) stereo-mini port, you can connect headphones to keep your work to yourself, or output direct to your home stereo, powered speakers, or amp to really bring the house down. You will need to have an audio recording program pre-installed on your device to use, but from there it’s plug & play. Perfect for practice, writing, demoing, recording, or any other use you could come up with.

This is CableJive’s 1st foray into the world of musician’s products, and as a musician myself, I’m really excited about it! We hope to flush out our musician’s section over the coming weeks and months, adding more complimentary products to the mix as we find them. We’re passionate about this stuff, and we know you are too, so we want your feedback! To share your thoughts about our ProJive cables, or to suggest any other musician’s products you’d like to see in our lineup, shoot us an email at service@cablejive.com.
