I have ordered an iRig HD and was wondering if anyone else has experience with them or any other interface. I am planning to use Amplitude and Garage Band apps.
From the info it seems like a good option for people with limited space and no amp.
Hi Dennis. This is what I use with my iPad for recording the band in the field. It is probably overkill for your needs but makes a great portable 'location studio'.
I use a Presonus 1818VSL interface into an iPad app called Auria. For small one-at-a-time recordings I have a Griffin MicConnect and GuitarConnect. I do have a couple of mates that have the iRig and they love 'em. Looking forward to listening to some of your stuff!
I've got an iRig HD, Dennis.
As far as a portable and simple interface, it works great. The gain works well to keep levels in check. I've had mine for almost a year and it still works fine after being tossed about.
The sound quality is great compared to the older style that plugs into the headphone jack. I even use mine to connect a microphone or any other instrument that takes a 1/4 in. jack.
As for Apps. I personally don't like Ampltube, it doesn't do much for your sound. I usually use Bias as my go to guitar app, it works alongside Jamup. Basically you build your amp in Bias then use that amp in Jamup to add effects and such.
Amp Kit is also worth a look. It can work out quite expensive once you purchase all the amps and effects, but the sound quality is very good.
A must have app for any iOS musician is Audiobus 2. It allows you to use multiple apps simultaneously. For example I could use Bias as my guitar amp input, >then into another app in the effects slot for a delay, ect. > then into Garage band to record. The possibilities are endless.
Audiobus and AudioShare are pretty useless apps on their own, what they are is tools to connect all your other music apps and files so they all work seamlessly together. Must haves really.
Keep the info. coming. There are some great tips in here. I've been making notes since I bought the I-rig some time ago and then stuffed it in a draw somewhere. going to go and have a look and then fire up the I-pad!
OK. I know I'm getting off topic a bit here but it is sorta relevant. I'm just wanting to plug the iPad app I use. It's called Auria and is damn powerful. If you are wanting to get deeper into recording than just Garage Band etc. you will need something that can do more. This app is a full-blown DAW and lets you have unlimited tracks (until the CPU smokes), mixdown the audio and edit it and has heaps of standard plugins (you can buy more), etc. Here are a couple of screenshots of a project I am currently working on as well as some links to songs of the band I'm in that were fully recorded and mixed using Auria. It's not cheap for an app but what you get is powerful. And being an app, all updates are free! I can't recommend it enough.
For some reason every time in type in the URL it puts in brackets etc. Just copy the stuff between the quotation marks.

Just had a quick listen to "Veneno", shit that's a slick recording alright. What sort of interface are you using into your Mac?
