Product Information

Apple’s own GarageBand is a more versatile partner to the iRig on iOS, providing recording and editing functionality and also more suited to recording unprocessed signals, eg. It turns out to be that the version of Amplitube provided with iRig is extremely limited – purely a demo.

IK Multimedia wrote the book on mobile guitar interfaces, and this iteration of the iRig does everything possible to build on a track record of success. In 2010, for the first time ever, the original iRig allowed guitar and bass players to plug into their iPhone and use their mobile device to play, practice and record with apps like IK's AmpliTube, Apple’s GarageBand and thousands more. For the ultimate mobile guitar and bass playing experience, use the iRig BlueBoard wireless MIDI foot controller to control all the features and functions inside of AmpliTube from the floor. Getting things recorded is very straightforward, and setting gain is simple, aided by a basic LED level meter. Here are a few other ways you can set things up, using either the 1/8" headphone jack or the 1/4" amp out jack.As a reaction to the removal of the headphone socket on recent iPhone hardware, a headphone preamp with a mini-jack output has been added to the specification and provides a far neater solution than monitoring output signals through the iOS device’s own headphone socket. let me record what I’m playing into my MacBook (either with the song that’s playing or not — I could always try to overlap them later)? Make sure your operating system is updated and that you have updated drivers for your sound card (especially if you've installed a sound card that didn't ship with the computer).

Italian manufacturer IK Multimedia is in that mix, with their flagship AmpliTube amplifier and effects modeling software and plug-in.With AmpliTube 4's default amp, I used the clean channel and, at times, a little reverb and chorus layering. Users who purchase and register this product are eligible to upgrade AmpliTube CS (FREE) version to to PAID version – for FREE. Note that the iRig HD 2 now comes with AmpliTube 5 SE which then makes in-app purchases available for different amps and pedals. The time it took to unbox the iRig HD 2 and to actually start playing guitar was short; probably less than five minutes if I hadn't been taking time to read the manual and set aside packaging. Use the iRig HD 2 anywhere you play guitar – on the go, in the studio or on your home computer with no complicated setup — just plug in, play and record at a higher level!

iRig HD 2 fits easily in your pocket and connects directly to your Lightning and USB devices – so no matter which iPad, iPhone, Mac or PC you have, you’re ready to rock at a moment’s notice. It offers a 1/4-inch instrument preamp with adjustable gain, plus a new multicolour LED gain wheel to easily dial in the perfect level. And, since we pioneered the mobile music revolution and invented the mobile guitar interface way back around the dawn of prehistoric smartphone times, we know a few things about playing guitar on the go.It feels like it could survive being knocked around or dropped to the floor, though to be honest we aren’t too eager to try and break it - we’d much rather use it! iRig HD 2 will free your mind from the confines of tradition and inspire you to be your creative best.
