"I came away very impressed with both AmpliTube and the iRig HD, and would be happy to use both in a live setting, or for recording." Covering the newest technologies online for more than a decade, Gizmag is read by more than 3.5 million people per month. Read on to get their impressions of both iRig HD and AmpliTube.
IK Multimedia recently released its latest iRig audio interface, the iRig HD, in addition to giving its popular iOS amp-modeling software AmpliTube a major update. Gizmag investigates whether the two products can offer musicians a portable platform for band practice, playing shows, or recording songs.
Check out some of the comments from reviewer Adam Williams:
"Indeed, the iRig HD was so quiet that I briefly wondered if there was some kind of noise gate technology integrated into its pre-amp, but there wasn't."
"No unwanted digital clipping was evident, and the device offered a crystal clear sound."
"I used an iPad Mini for testing the iRig HD, but an adaptor for the older-type 30-pin iOS device connector is included. I also plugged the iRig HD into a MacBook Pro running OS X Mountain Lion using the supplied USB adaptor, and on both machines the device performed flawlessly."
"AmpliTube's Rec 8-track is an easy to use multitrack recorder which appears to perform exactly as expected."
"I came away very impressed with both AmpliTube and the iRig HD, and would be happy to use both in a live setting, or for recording."
"Indeed, I've since found myself grabbing the iRig HD as my "go-to interface" when wanting to lay down guitar tracks on my Mac."
