Challenge 1: The instrument level indicator LEDs on the Jam+ don't seem to function at all in Windows. The best I can obtain is a single green LED, even when my input signal is clipping the Jam+. The instrument input level LEDs work fine on my iPad. Support suggested I update the latest firmware of the Jam+ (from .20 to .23). I did this, but it did not change the behavior of the instrument input level LEDs (they work on my iPad, but not Windows).
Chellenge 2: This could be related to Challenge 1, but I'm having difficulty obtaining good mix level of the music application and my instrument on Windows. The center white LED on the Jam+ indicates that "Blend" is on and the headphone mix is 50% from the music application and 50% from the instrument. But I have a difficult time hearing my instrument in the mix. I have been able to use the Windows Volume Mixer to achieve a balance that is better (usually by reducing the volume of my music app during playback), but that appears to only be a temporary solution. At some point the "Blend" function must be re-triggered which alters the mix balance. I wish the Jam+ would simply allow me to adjust the "Blend" to my own preference without re-setting.
Apogee support has been responsive, but not helpful in resolving the issue. I will update this review should the situation change.
No XLR input, so you can't record through a standard microphone, but you should know that already before you decide to buy.

Uso en Iphone:
Puede conectarse directamente al teléfono mediante el cable integrado, lo he usado directamente en Garageband y el sonido es fenomenal. Puedes sacarle gran provecho utilizando apps como JamUp Pro, Bias FX, Tonebridge, entre otras.
En el teléfono prácticamente es plug and play.
Uso en Mac:
La interface cuenta con un cable con conexión usb-C por lo que la conexión es directa en Laptop mac con esta entrada y para las que no tienen esta entrada también cuenta con cable usb.
La interface puede conectarse directamente a garageband de Mac sin problema o usarse en otros softwares como Bias FX 2, Logic, entre otros.
La mejor combinación la encontraras utilizando Bias FX 2 como vst, el sonido es inigualable.
Le son est impeccable, la fonction Gain élevé est très pratique.
Petit défaut toutefois (en tout cas sur iPad Pro), le son de l'iPad est coupé dès qu'on branche le Jam+. On est donc obligé de passer par la sortie jack du Jam+ pour sortir le son. J'aurais apprécié pouvoir désactiver la sortie son du Jam+ via un bouton.
Autre petit défaut, si on branche le Jam+ sur un hub USB, le Jam+ ne s'allume pas automatiquement lorsqu'on branche le hub à l'iPad. On est obligé de débrancher et rebrancher l'USB du Jam+ pour qu'il s'active.
À part ces deux petits défaut, le Jam+ est excellent et je le recommande fortement.
