Many people use DAT or ADAT for this. Ipod works like a charm, just need a rackmount controller, preferably with separate L-R outs, click goes L to drummer, loops go R to house. This thing however is a bit overkill for what we need. Mr Blue - we use a Ipod live to play backing tracks and send click to the drummer. Many people use DAT or ADAT for this.

During rehearsal, we often need to play a copy of the original song to the choir and/or play the song so we can learn it ourselves. If our dance ministry or performing arts ministry travels with us, we do not have to reply on sound techs from other venues to play the appropriate songs as they ahould be played. As for playing a live "gig" I also co not see a purpose for it, but I am wearing my ipod headset jack out by constantly running it through my beringer table top mixer via patch cords. Makes it a lot neater and recharges that IPOD at the same time. I play bass guitar in a church band.

I don't think I'd want to tie a high-dollar piece of gear to a gadget that I might not be using in a couple of years.

I'm not sure if I understand why an iPod jack is neccessary on a rackmounted P.A. Mixer! In the environment of a live show, where there will be live mixing, why would one need to have their iPod jacked? I'm a music producer/engineer by trade. I want to play advocate for a second and see what people have to say about this. Respect. MrBlue http://mrblue-reviews.blogspot.com http://www.myspace.com/basementtheory The funny thing is…
