MiQ was a Quirky project designed to allow a user to easily record and synchronize recordings from multiple devices or instruments. It effectively functions as a base station collecting, time stamping, and storing recordings from synced bluetooth devices, such as smart phones, or Instruments plugged into the MiQ directly. A companion app makes starting, stopping, or pausing recordings easy, as well as allowing one user to change settings and effectively "mix" recordings on the fly.
The fist challenge with MiQ was deciding the constraints of the device and feature set. With many possible configurations and usages it was important for us to research the areas current devices occupied and discover a niche that was empty. After research we discovered the lack for a simple portable consumer level product.
