I've looked it up, and there appear to be a few different recording apps out there that you can download to your iPod, to create multitrack recordings… overdubs and all that.
Any of you ever use one?
How did you like it?
Easy to use?
Relatively decent sound quality?

I'm sure that they're not good for much more than making demos or whatever, but even that is more than I have right now.

Curious to hear of your experiences.

Do you mean Ipad rather than Ipod?

If you do then there are solutions that will allow you to get pro audio level sound

The trick is to identify the weak link in the chain, which without a specific audio interface is likely to be the mic "pre-amp" in the Ipad if you connect using the 3.5mm headphone socket (which can accept a mic)

As for software, even though I don't have any direct experience but have done a lot of reading around the subject, the 2 that keep cropping up as front runners are CUBASIS and AURIA

I would probably go CUBASIS If / when I take the plunge with iPad recording

Actually, I was thinking iPod.

I have 4Track for recording stuff on the go. I can record 4 tracks for overdubbing, export etc. it does what it says on the tin. Its pretty easy to use, with the right mic its quality is fine and its not expensive. Cant compare it to others though.

[Note that I'm rather new to all this so don't speak with that much experience, or authority..]

I bought an Apogee Mic for £50 second hand and an Apogee Jam for the guitar for £30 also second hand, I use these with an iPad2 and an ancient iPod touch (4th gen) on which I have the Garageband app.

The good thing about the Mic and the Jam is that they have built in pre-amps, do the digital conversion and connect via the 30pin digital input not the headphone jack, also they don't need external power.
I think the quality is excellent, but if you're interested there's plenty of reviews and samples out there.

The portability is perfect, the battery life is a limiting factor though.

This is what persuaded me to try this option; https://soundcloud.com/apogeedigital/willie-k-recording-ukulele-and

Garageband is fun, cheap, easy to use has been great for me as a beginner. Although the version on my iPod (maybe IOS 6?) is very basic and flawed - but then most apps don't have any backward compatibility at all, certainly no that far...
