AmpliTube Studio earns high marks for a nicely designed product that works well. That said, if I were a touring musician, using AmpliTube studio and a guitar on a tour bus sure would be convenient. I’m very happy with the iRig HD. It’s been a product I was eager to get my hands on since it was announced at the National Association of Music Merchants show (NAMM) earlier this year and the release does not disappoint me. It’s a product I can see myself using for quite some time.
If you’re in the market for a way to hook your musical instrument up to your Mac or iOS device, and have a need to do multitrack recording on your iOS device, IK Multimedia has recently released two new products that may help you: iRig HD and AmpliTube Studio.
AmpliTube Studio earns high marks for a nicely designed product that works well. That said, if I were a touring musician, using AmpliTube studio and a guitar on a tour bus sure would be convenient. Previous versions of AmpliTube had an in-app purchase for an 8-track recorder, but AmpliTube Studio turns your iOS device into more of a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW).
I’m very happy with the iRig HD. It’s been a product I was eager to get my hands on since it was announced at the National Association of Music Merchants show (NAMM) earlier this year and the release does not disappoint me. It’s a product I can see myself using for quite some time.
Over the last two weeks, I’ve been using the iRig fairly often and haven’t had any issues with it. I think it’s well worth the $99 asking price, especially if you have an iPhone 5.
I’ve become quite a fan of IK Multimedia’s products over the last few years, and I was very curious to see how these new releases performed. Instead of using your headphone jack, the iRig HD ships with USB, 30-pin and Lightning connector cables. As a result, the audio quality is much improved.
