Title: Have any of you used the iRig for Macs?
Post by: jjrpilot-admin on December 23, 2011, 05:29:08 PM

Have any of you used this?  This looks very...tempting...   :D

I guess you can turn ANY set of speakers into an amp...or something like that.

Used iRig and Amplitube or iPad. Personally, I wasn't impressed.  I should pull it out of the drawer to try it again...

I used it once.  It seems to work well except that it greatly reduces the volume of the guitar.  That's not a fatal flaw, just a minor annoyance.

I used a m-audio fast track using the ES, and had the same problem. I posted about this in the recording sub forum, it was suggested to use an external mic. Other places I have read that using a condenser mic is the way to go.

There are several good videos on YouTube on how to record an acoustic guitar

I've used iRig to play my T5 on the iPad (with GarageBand). Records okay, and works for quick ideas/riffs.
