OVERVIEW
Introduction
Thank you for downloading this User Guide for the iTrack Pocket; we presume you have just become
the proud owner of one. The iTrack Pocket is one of the family of Focusrite professional digital audio
interfaces, and has been designed specifically for use with the Apple® iPhone®. It incorporates
a stereo microphone and an input for instruments such as guitars. We’ve developed a dedicated
recording and mastering app - Impact by Focusrite - for use with your iTrack Pocket, which you can
download from the Apple App Store. You will then have a simple and complete solution for recording
any kind of performance (it doesn’t even have to be musical!) into your compatible iPhone with both
video and high quality audio. You can then upload the finished results straightaway onto YouTube™
or Vimeo, or share with other compatible devices using Message or AirDrop®. If you already have
an audio recording app on your iPhone (such as GarageBand®), you can continue to use it, but with
improved audio quality. Your iTrack Pocket is compatible with any Core Audio recording app.
This User Guide provides a detailed explanation of the iTrack Pocket to help you achieve a thorough
understanding of its operational features. We recommend that both users who are new to digital
recording, as well as more experienced users, take the time to read through the user guide so that
you are fully aware of all the possibilities that the iTrack Pocket has to offer. If you can’t find the
information you need in the User Guide, be sure to consult

Features
The iTrack Pocket has been designed specifically for the YouTube performer.
With the help of our free app, Impact by Focusrite (available from the Apple App Store) you can now
capture a complete performance in audio and video, with a significant improvement in sound quality
compared to using the iPhone alone. Impact by Focusrite includes an easy-to-use suite of mastering
tools, allowing you to maximise the overall sonic impact of the recording. You can also edit the length
of the recording, by using the Trim function to remove any unwanted recording at the beginning or
end, then immediately upload it to YouTube, Vimeo or any other supported video-sharing websites.
