My Q3 sucks in low light too.. geez that line in is a smart handy feature! I'm trying to figure out a recording setup using the ipad too but I'm not sure what to do with it to be able to use a mic or two with it...

I'm used of seeing and building stuff with components in an anarchic puzzle. I know this is 4 layer pcbs but man! How do you that? I'm millions miles away from designing such beautiful things...
One last question, for your silent switching, do you use the same momentary switch/programmed chip as the ones made by Jack Deville?
Hey Julien, welcome to ILF and thank you very much!
4 layer pcb sounds fancy and high tech but it's actually much easier to design a layout using that style of board as it gives you internal planes for your power and ground connections so you don't have to run any traces. That's how I get away with my layout style of rows or be able to cram a ton of components onto a board, it's thanks to the 4 layer pcb saving me a ton of space.
My silent switching is the same idea as Jack's, same style, but we're using different families of micro controllers and different relay styles. I wrote my own code for it but it took me many months and many many pushes from my pal Austin, the genius who makes the Goatkeeper. I'm not really a code guy and he helped me bigtime.
Holler at me anytime if you have questions about layout design etc and thanks again, much appreciated!
And Syl's right... a little magic never hurts. I covered the Elements pcb in alchemical symbols so Da Vinci and Newton would help me...
