IK Multimedia iRig Acoustic Stage Guitar, Black

Product Information

After hearing the results from each, you can definitely hear a distinct difference in each recording. In my opinion, the guitar output from the acoustic guitar sounds like absolute garbage. It’s way too “tingy” and there is no lower presence. There’s also a lot of rumble (especially when strumming). For other issues and information about recording an acoustic guitar on GarageBand, setting up the iRig Acoustic Stage or working with your own USB interface, the following resources could be helpful. Note: It is suggested to install the Offline Settings option. This will allow you to adjust your ASIO4ALL settings before launching your audio software. Once the above is set, view your AmpliTube Settings > Audio/MIDI Settings window once again. Under Input channels, you can now view and select iRig as your input. Under Output channels, make sure your interface you are monitoring from is selected. Why stop with audio-related products when there are so many great virtual instrument apps out there — including IK Multimedia’s own SampleTank, Syntronik, and various piano apps? To answer this, IK Multimedia introduced several iRig Keys keyboard controller models. The original iRig Keys gives mobile songwriters and players a simple, lightweight keyboard, while the expanded iRig Keys Pro adds the mod and pitch wheels that are essential to keyboardists. Going even further, iRig Keys I/O models borrow additional triggers from the iRig Pads pad controller while adding single-channel audio interface (including a preamp with phantom power) to the mix. All iRig Keys models are fully cross-platform compatible and include killer virtual instruments.

These are all potential "pitfalls" and problems when you're trying to record an acoustic guitar, and this is all before you get to the variables and challenges that relate to high-level DAW and music production software. Note: There is nothing wrong about that. People are always surprised that the main amplifier component in the AER compact 60 is a car amplifier. They seemed to think AER is some kind of audiophile amplifier... No it's just an italian made speaker and a car amplifier. It does sound good though. While these two models are great for practicing and performing live, guitarists who want to record to their mobile devices typically prefer the iRig HD 2. The iRig HD 2 swaps out the analog cable for a 24-bit/96kHz digital connection via Lightning for your iOS device or USB for your computer. What’s more, Android users can also benefit from the AmpliTube app, thanks to the iRig UA model. Our roundup of Thunderbolt audio interfaces could be helpful for someone wanting to upgrade to an interface faster than a USB connection. At 100 euros, the iRig Acoustic Stage is ridiculously good value for money and very practical if you need to amplify an acoustic guitar live. For home recording, it is also a very useful tool, and the most inexpensive way I can think of to capture a good acoustic guitar recording.

My point was that MEMS are cheap because as any Integrated Circuits made in asiatic clean rooms/fabs they can be mass produced. And They are mass produced because they serve (and serve well) in all kind of applications.

In most cases, and in my own experience, the best place to put a microphone is right at the base of the soundhole, near the high E string. Please follow these steps to setup your device on Windows. Please note that there are interfaces that may not work properly with the below steps: For this tutorial I'll show you how to easily record your acoustic guitar into GarageBand, without the need for a complex software suite and without having to worry about most of the issues we previously mentioned. The mini cable connecting the microphone to the unit is however extremely thin and I think great care will need to be taken with that over time to ensure it doesn't break. It really is super thin. Saying that, the zippered hard case is excellent quality so as long as you look after your gear and put it away properly after use, you shouldn't have any issues. Still, in the process of putting it away twice as part of this review, I still managed to get it very tangled! I do wonder how this would stand up to regular gigging use. Working musicians tend to want their gear bombproof.What is the "best" way to record your acoustic guitar at home or in a small studio environment? Moreover, how do you get it to sound like it should? A recorded acoustic guitar should sound natural, warm and resonant. The iRig Acoustic Stage product feature has all the information and specs on the mic and preamp we've been using

This is ambitious, to say the least, which is why I'm opting to use only the iRig Acoustic Stage's mic. It's a small MEMS accelerometer IC that tells the tablet when it is hold in "portrait" or "landscape" position. The same accelereometer will sens vibration if you shake it... as for example in the Nintendo Nunchuk when paying Raving Rabbids... And the same can be used in Irig to sens the vibration of a guitar top.Our most recent article on running an Electric guitar through GarageBand covers the details of getting a USB audio interface to communicate with your Mac.

Finally, the section that you’re probably most interested in, how does iRig Acoustic Stage sound (particularly in comparison ot traditional methods of amplifying/recording your acoustic guitar)? IK Multimedia iRig Acoustic Stage is a complete bundled set containing a microphone, preamp and audio interface for recording and amplifying acoustic guitars. Compact Contents With all these cool iRig gadgets to fuel your creativity and bring new sounds with you onstage, IK Multimedia recognized the need for reliable stands and holders for iOS devices. The iKlip series includes several models to handle different tasks. For instance, the iKlip Studio and iKlip Stand are simple, sturdy desktop holders for various iPad models, while the iKlip Xpand line provides secure stand-mounting options. There are even iKlip models available for media production, such as the iKlip Grip and the videography-ready iKlip A/V, which includes a mount for battery-powered wireless systems. You’ve already got an acoustic you love and now you can easily add a high performance clip on microphone with a dedicated preamp.This workaround is compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10. The acoustic properties of the microphone then depends on the mechanic properties of the cantilever (mass, elasticity) exactly like a microphone diaphragm. When most music industry companies were first contemplating the possibility of making music with iOS, IK Multimedia was already hard at work, producing the first generation of mobile-ready gear and specialty apps that would prove it could be done. As of early 2010, the original iRig and AmpliTube app revolutionized the way guitarists interacted with iOS, almost single-handedly ending the market for standalone guitar practice tools. In the years that followed, IK Multimedia steadily expanded the iRig line, introducing microphones, interfaces, keyboards, and more. Today, there’s a whole iRig ecosystem, providing gear that makes mobile music production easier than ever.
