IK Multimedia iRig 2 Mobile Guitar Interface, Black

Product Information

Tip: The iRig 2 should be used on BandLab in our Mix Editor with input monitoring ON, to be able to listen to your playing without any latency. IK Multimedia warrants only that the program will perform as described in the user documentation. No other advertising, description or representation, whether made by a IK Multimedia dealer, distributor, agent or employee, shall be binding upon IK Multimedia or shall change the terms of this warranty. With BandLab, you’re able to capture your inspirations and develop them further. In the second part of this series, we show you ways and also some recommendations to get sound into BandLab by DI.

The “FX” setting sends your processed signal, or the sound coming out of your software/app to the external device. This is perfect when you want to use your iPad or Laptop as your effects pedalboard, your amp’s front end or complete tone rig in a live setting. As I mentioned in earlier paragraphs, the best "feature" that the iRig HD 2 provides is the convenience and ease-of-use that you get from being able to play guitar through your computer or mobile device. I was able to enjoy a full range of effects and amp models, on my couch, while my wife watched TV and my kids slept. You can then use programs like AmpliTube 5 (full or SE version) to run effects and amp models, or to record and produce your own music. Even other DAWs like GarageBand, Ableton Live or any software that can recognize and hear external audio devices, will be compatible.We recommend uninstalling the iRig Pro DUO ASIO drivers if you want to use the general iRig ASIO drivers. Both ASIO drivers will work with iRig Pro DUO and iRig Pro DUO I/O; but using the general iRig ASIO will allow it to work with other iRig models. This workaround is compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10. iRig HD 2 + TONEX for iPhone and iPad is your on-the-go dream rig featuring IK’s breakthrough AI Machine Modeling technology. Play, practice and record using the most authentic and hyper-realistic gear models ever made.

Without registering the product the accompanying software cannot be registered and is therefore only available in demo mode for a limited amount of days (9 if I remember correctly). In fact, it got to the stage where Logic Pro wouldn’t recognise the 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. Tone and volume knob changes were only subtle, and sounded best when they were both wide open. Convenience and Ease of Use My wife and I have four kids, who go to sleep fairly early. After they're in bed we watch TV, read or just hang out in the living room. There are plenty of times I'd love to plug in and play guitar, but can't, because either my wife is watching a show or I'm afraid I'll wake the kids up. The iRig 2 will then ensure you always retain a superb, immaculate signal path. Better still, the IK Multimedia iRig 2 allows you to connect to an amplifier and even connect headphones thanks to a range of outputs that accommodate any setting, whether that's in the studio, stage or just jamming with friends.The iRig is fantastic for its price, but there are limitations. For those of you who are interested in something more serious and “professional”, with a bit more money you can dive into the world of USB Audio Interfaces. What I had planned to do is use the iRig as a DI – i.e the guitar signal goes into the iRig – the iRig ‘splits the signal’, sending it direct (via USB cable) to the iMac; and via ‘guitar lead’ to the front of the totally clean guitar amp (via a pedalboard). Two microphones are sitting in front of the amp’s speaker – tightly together to alleviate possible phase issues. Therefore, the earth-loop(?) noise that the iRig introduces to the signal is totally audible – and of course, totally unacceptable.

The iRig HD 2 is IK Multimedia's second iteration of the immensely popular iRig HD. Both are mobile guitar interfaces, designed to run your guitar's signal through any mobile device, Mac, or PC computer. It's a simple way to integrate phone and/or tablet compatibility into your home recording setup. The reason I bought it was as the adds and promotion seemed to state quite unequivocally that I could do that – therefore record the direct signal plus the signal from the amp. Not to be unfortunately. Windows 10 should handle the HD 2 in a similar fashion, and I do know that the Amplitube 5 SE software works great on both Mac and PC platforms.If you're not familiar with the IK Multimedia company, they specialize in mobile music production devices, and have been heavily focused on guitar interfaces since their inception and the creation of the AmpliTube app. An amplifier may not be the most practical equipment to have with you all the time. Thus, a number of artists and musicians today have chosen to record their electric instruments directly into their computer’s recording software. This is known as Direct Input (DI). Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided. The Duo-Capture EX provides more flexibility over the Scarlett with two XLR/TRS inputs, allowing more combinations to be used at one time. Built in are two of Roland’s premium VS preamps which deliver neutral sound and high headroom. This constitutes to an overall great sounding Audio Interface. Comes with AmpliTube 5 SE for Mac/PC, TONEX SE for Mac/PC plus 1 free additional bonus software title of your choice between selected titles
