iRig HD 2 Demo | Recording into GarageBand

[@danbecker4925]

I've owned the HD2 for years and it was my 2nd iRig - and in this whole time, this is the best explanation of how the thing works I've ever seen. IK should hire you to make instructional videos for all their products! Great work.

[@mgradiant]

I’m a massive fan of iRig HD 2. Also, AmpliTube iOS is very much my bread and butter when it comes to my tones nowadays. Especially the SJ50 Amp. It’s basically a model of Joe Satriani’s 1st gen Peavey 5150 that he got when it first came out. That thing is an absolute beast. It does everything I want it to, and not just the. chugga-chuggas.

[@johnmacmillan627]

Thanks for the help. I just purchased this little gadget. When I tried playback I had to disconnect the line connection to the Ipad before I could hear it. Wondering why this should happen

[@DarkRoastRecording]

depends how you were listening to it. in Garageband, you need to set the tracks as monitoring turned on, while recording. If you are playing back the whole track, you should be using the iRig and connecting your headphones to the iRig, not the ipad

[@pierrefitch]

I wonder if this can plug into my Akia MPC One

[@DarkRoastRecording]

absolutely it can, just plug it into a usb port on the back and add it as an input source, OR you can plug it into an iPhone/ipad to get the tones you want and send that processed signal into a line input on the MPC one from the AMP output on the irig HD2

[@remalistochastis]

Hi, I just saw your very helpful video. I just bought the Irig HD 2 to use it for practise purposes but I am a little bit disappointed. A noticeable latency on my iPhone 13 Pro Max. On my MacBook Pro using a budget interface (Behringer 404 hD) my guitars play without any latency both through Logic Pro with amplitudbe 5 or with the standalone Amplitude 5. I have connected Irig hd 2 to my Mac and it doesn’t have any latency. The quality of the sound also (using the same headphones) is not so great as through my Behringer. I thing the settings are correct (there are not a lot anyway)

Hi thanks for the video instruktion about irig HD 2it’s clear. Is irig HD 2 compatible with Mac with M1 chip? How Does irig HD 2 sounds through an acoustic guitar?

[@brandenrogers9507]

So can I come out of my amp with my pedal tones and everything into my iPad with this? I love my tone w my pedals and stack and want that recorded into GarageBand

[@DarkRoastRecording]

To get the tone from your pedal chain AND amp, you’ll need a DI output or single output from your amp after the power amp (not a Send). The only way to capture the tone of the cabinet speaker though would be with a microphone, and the iRig HD 2 isn’t really designed for mic’s. therefore, If you want to capture the tone you are hearing from your amp, best would be to mic it and use a USB audio interface like the Arthurian MiniFuse, or Scarlett 2i2 or Solo into GarageBand. To use the iRig HD 2, connect your guitars to your pedal chain, then go into the irig from the pedals and record that onto an “Amp track”. Play with the different amps to find one you like the most, while sending a cable from the iRig HD2 “amp output” to your Amp input to hear it back into your amp. Switch the toggle on the iRig to “Thru”. Again the best way to get the True Tone from your chain would be to use a USB interface rather than the iRig HD 2.

[@AngelMartinez-qs3cf]

Hi again, this is great. I just got the iRIG HD 2 and I love it. I have a question, sorry for the many questions, but I just bought the iLoud Micro Montitor speakers. I don't know if you have ever used those particular speakers but on those speakers they input port in the back. There is no auxiliary port. Can I connect a cable from the headphone port of the iRig HD2 to back of the iLoud Monitors? I am running the guitar simiulation software TH3, Amplitube 5 and Tonex. On my ipad 10 there is no lightening cable, just the USB C. Is there a Camera port for the ipad 10 similar to yours? Thank you.

[@DarkRoastRecording]

i would connect a cable from the "amp" output 1/4" jack on the bottom of the irig to the 3.5mm jack on the back of the iLoud monitors. that a line level signal

[@andygauci3130]

Hi great video, sorry to ask a stupid question but, can you play along with songs with iTunes and hear all through the headphones?

[@DarkRoastRecording]

Hey, thx for watching. No you cannot do that because you can only have one app controlling the audio processing at any time. same reason you cant listen to music while shooting a video with the camera basically. This is why companies like Positive Grid have apps and amps like Spark, allowing teh Spark app to integrate with spotify and youtube to play music while you play along in the app.

[@alihamayoon4001]

Hi mate, can I record electric drums through it as well? Thanks for the awesome content brother

[@DarkRoastRecording]

You could, but the drums will only cme through as a Mono signal, you won't get stereo seperation which makes a great full sound. So, yes, its doable, but not ideal. You could get an iRig 2 in like the iRig Stream for that, would solve the issue for stereo recording drums. Also, any 2 in 2 out usb interface will work, and probably have better usability with computers as well if you go between ipad and computers for recording and mixing. just saying, for the money to record drums, I would get a focusrite 2i2 or a Bandlab Link Digital 2 input. or even a Behringer UMC

[@ThinkMud]

Which effects/amp suite is the best bang for the buck? I see the software that comes with it has their own suite, but not sure it would work if I’m using GarageBand to record.

[@DarkRoastRecording]

It will work in garageband. You can use amplitube as an audio plugin insert within the track in Garageband to get the amplitube tines you like. Thanks for watching!

connect a cable from the Output of the drum module to the input of an audio interface like a Scarlett 2i2 or Arturia minifuse 2 or an iRig HD input like in this video. That interface will be connected to your device by USB. This will record the sounds from the drum module in a mono signal cause the iRig HD is a Mono input source only. for stereo signal, you would connect 2 cables (Left and Right) out of drum module into the other interfaces referred to earlier.

The guy at the store dropped the irig box on the floor as he was about to give it to me, but I knew the thing was small and inside a lot of cardboard. Garage band sees a guitar is connected, but no sound comes and the irig hd 2 has never turned green when connecting the guitar plug. Tried several cables. Everything on the ipad is updated as otherwise I wouldn't get garageband to run at all. Edit: Must be a power issue, the LED is feintly lit on my pixel phone, blinks kind of randomly on the ipad and is only stable when test connected to a PC. Ipad was charged at 84%.

Love your iRig Videos I play bass; you have proven iRig will send bass to Garage Band on iPhone . For recording ideas along with Garage Band this is great . Also what I want to do is record my bass alongside tunes or snippets of tunes let us say from a source such as Pandora or what have you. Can I record “Pandora” on a track and record my bass on another? Importantly I want to SEND my ideas to music friends : Bass into iRig: Garage Band: save /Send via iPhone. Is this possible? Thanks in advance !
