Just aquired my first six string electric guitar since last messing around with a bass, some forty plus years ago. Waiting for an iRig 2 to arrive tomorrow and found your video the most helpfull one for me. Can't wait to get going. Miss those all analogue concerts I saw in the 70s though! Thanks

[@harryshouse007]

@@DarkRoastRecording The guitar kind of grabbed me, as I found it dumped in a skip! It was in great condition and a friend restrung it for me. It's a red Strat copy, but not a Squire. Not sure whether it has been custom-built as there is no branding at all on the guitar?

[@nicholoscolegrove4549]

I have a subscription to Ultimate Guitar which incidentally now has branched to singing as well. When it comes to using an android device With an Irig2 or irig2hd it has quite a bit of latency and that's even using a Samsung with professional sound. However,I have used it on an I phone and was impressed with the latency disappearing.ive never had any success with the amplitude series on any cellphone or computer but I use the Tone bridge app from ultimate guitar ,and that app is free for me and I absolutely love it being able to get the tones I want without having a bunchnofnmoneybtied into effects pedals and delays etc. So I run my guitar into tonebridge on my iPhone and then atraightway from the ŵ1

[@DarkRoastRecording]

It does work with macbooks, but I would strongly encourage purchasing an Audio interface like the focusrite Scarlett Solo or Arturia MiniFuse instead, they will provide many more features for a few more dollars. The irig is really meant to be used with mobile devices.

[@mysterloop]

well explained, no loss of time:) i just bought this hoping it would work using the regular camera app on iphone xr, and it does. now my signal comes from a looper (headphones out), not a guitar or bass, and i'm trying to figure whats the best gain setting. seems to me the best is all the way up, while making sure the sent signal is not too strong and does not saturate...would you confirm this?

[@DarkRoastRecording]

That’s awesome, and yes i would test it out, turning the gain up on the irig and lowering the input signal in the daw is usually good practice

[@americanbrandon]

Line 6 amp have built in I rig!! For those who don’t know line 6 A with the capability of plugging in your iPhone or android device will allow you to record through GarageBand as if you were using a I-RIG and you can charge your phone at the same time.

@@DarkRoastRecording I’m recording black metal so quality is my last concern. I’m just curious if I can record electronic drums directly to the app as well using the guitar input.

[@giovannicontarelli]

Hi, thanks for the video. I wanted to know if iRig can be connected to the PC to be able to listen to the bass or guitar on the PC while listening to other things. Type metronome or pieces of music to play on. Thank you.

[@DarkRoastRecording]

I dont think you could do that because it doesnt act like an interface with configurable outputs unfortunately

[@georgespringer3897]

I was looking to get one of these for my iPad Pro and band practice. I’ve been using BIAS AMP 2 and FX 2 for my practices and it works great. Only issue is that I have to lug around my only interface which is a Roland Rubix22. The product is great but the only issue is bringing it around with me back and forth between home and band. My question is, would the iRig do a decent job for live processing? Since I’m using an amp sim for my tone I need next to no latency. I don’t care for quality so much (besides, I’m running my other interface in to my iPad at 44.1k) Hope that wasn’t too long of a comment 😆 Thanks!

[@DarkRoastRecording]

No worries my man, I would say if you're going for lowest latency on an iPad, you may want to try finding the iRig HD 2 as its a USB connection instead of using the headphone jack. But really, test it out first with the irig 2 if you have it, if not go for the HD 2. I did a video demoing that as well here kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKSQmYyhf9yHp5o. That said, the irig 2 in this vid doesnt give any real latency either, on Android devices is a totally different story. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@BrunoReynoso20]

Just subscribed, thanks for the video!!! I have a question, does it works with Pro Tools as if it was a conventional interface, such as the Scarlett 2i2???

[@DarkRoastRecording]

Hey, thanks for the sub! No, the iRig 2 will nto work like an interface as it is not digital and uses no drivers. It's just sending an analog signal output, nothing more.

[@DarkRoastRecording]

+Alan Wilson with new phones, you'll need to use the headphone dongle to USB-C connector, but it won't work with amplitude in android. you have to use an app like "Deplike" or "tonebridge". try those and see if it works before returning it

[@DarkRoastRecording]

+Miss Zoey thanks for the sub! for audio recording, it just depends on what you may be recording and what mic you have. it's good enough for any line signal like a guitar, bass, keyboard, etc. I good idea with this would be to connect the instrument to a preamp first, the the preamp to the iRig to maximise the signal quality.

[@aleksandrajovanovic1170]

Is it possible to connect an acoustic guitar (it has a piezo pickup in it) with MacBook Pro and Boss rc-1 via iRig2...without having latency? Great video! :)

[@DarkRoastRecording]

Should work with little to no latency.

[@lilchan1737]

With your amp you can turn on and off distortion right? And also you can record on Spire rightc

[@DarkRoastRecording]

Yes you can do that on your amp as well. You can use them together to get really cool sounds, experiment with it. I don’t know about Spire as i haven’t tried it yet, but i assume it will work just fine as the irig is just sending an audio signal to the app

[@prodbylucifer]

I'm thinking about getting this but not entirely sure if it'll work with my DAW, FL Studio.

[@DarkRoastRecording]

+lucifer it'll work with any DAW because it's just an analog interface. just load any audio track in your DAW and select the input you have the iRig 2 plugged into. but honestly, if you have a digital interface, there's tracking no need for the irig2 as any interface will take a line input from a guitar regardless

Great review but i dont have the Garage Band neither Cubase ect.. Does it have its own software?

[@DarkRoastRecording]

Thanks for watching! It does have its own app only for iOS called Amplitube. There are many add-on you can get as well. that said, if you are using an iOS device, you will have Garageband on it, or you just need to download it for free from the App Store. if you are using an Android device, you could use Cubase or Bandlab on Android to record tracks.

[@prometheus_tr]

is this for only ipad? my macbook air doesn't have any mic in...

[@DarkRoastRecording]

its designed for mobile devices, not computers really. best would be to get a usb interface. Scarlett Solo or Arturia Minifuse would be great for you

[@prometheus_tr]

@@DarkRoastRecording i bought it for my Macbook Air and it works. Thanks.

[@johnandersen9219]

Hi, enjoyed the Video. Quick question... can you use the 1/4” out to Amp to feed a small powered speaker and will it match what you are hearing in the headphones. Specially if using Garage Band to practice against recorded backing tracks. For some reason the original headphone Jack on the original IRig will only power Headphones? Thanks John

[@DarkRoastRecording]

That’s right. It will send the audio to anything amp or powered speaker. If you set the switch to fx, it will send what you hear headphones after being processed on the device, “thru” will send the signal before any app processing

[@drums5434]

Could you also add a microphone to it if you want to sing along with your guitar playing? Or would you have to go back and do that later on a separate track? I’m looking for a device such as this where I can plug two microphones into it.

[@DarkRoastRecording]

You could do separate tracks, but not 2 at once since this is only a single input. Ideally though you would want a USB interface with 2 channel inputs with phantom power option in case you need that depending on the mic you use. for best cheap interfaces, look for BandLab Link Digital or a Behringer UMC22

[@RoSa-ds1tn]

Hey Dark! Is there any latency with iRig + Garage B. when connecting headphones to iOs device via Bluetooth?

[@notan23]

[@normandcormier1136]

I there. I have an iRig2 (and it still works with the AmpliTube app). I’d like to be able to use wireless headphones, but it seems that because of the latency it won’t work. Think it would work if I go wired through a mixer and connect to it via Bluetooth?

[@DarkRoastRecording]

Thanks for watching!! Irig2 will only work with AmpliTube in iOS devices, not android. Regarding the headphones, anytime you add a wireless device, you will be extending the latency. You could try it and see if it’s good, you might be ok, but it’s trial and error

Hi man, awsome video I'm using this on bandlab and I can't here any distortion or fx until after I've recorded it Do you know anyway around this?

[@zenitsuagatsuma7439]

Do you need headphones to hear the guitar or does the sound go directly to the phone

[@DarkRoastRecording]

you can do both actually. Headphones to hear either the unprocessed raw guitar sounds (thru) switch, or to hear the processed sounds from the iPhone app (FX) . Or you can have headphones connected directly to the iphone, but that introduces latency when using bluetooth, and is really hard to play with.

[@judahriggins8403]

i get horrible feedback whenever i use the modern metal effect. bow the hell do i fix it

[@grapedigger7522]

Yeah me too. I think it is using the phones microphone instead of the guitar or irig. I don’t know how to fix jt

[@DarkRoastRecording]

The metal effect amps up the gain, just add a noisegate filter in whatever guitar app you're using and adjust

[@aaronfrazier733]

Could you do an update mine no longer works on garage band…

[@michaelhillman4189]

Instead of headphones could you instead plug up a speaker? Like use the IPad/MacBook as a head and a speaker as a cabinet?

[@DarkRoastRecording]

+Michael Hillman thanks from r watching! please sub if you haven't already. you could do that, but your speakers would have to be powered or you would need a pre amp between the iRig and the cab to amplify the sound to the cab/speaker

[@johnp82]

How is the sound quality of that compared to something like a Focusrite Scarlett?

[@DarkRoastRecording]

The scarlett is better, as in it does the AD/DA conversion and has actual preamps that are decent for the price. This is meant as a mobile solution, light weight easy to carry around

[@TomMackayCalonFM]

Can you use microphones or just Guitars

[@DarkRoastRecording]

It’s really designed for guitars, Hi-Z input, not Mic input signals from mics.to use a microphone, you’d be better off getting a Scarlett Solo or 2i2, Presonus AudioBox GO or Arturia MiniFuse.

[@TomMackayCalonFM]

@DarkRoastRecording is it Compatible with IOS Iphone the ones you suggested

[@addictedtolacroix]

is the dongle detected with the app Tonebridge?

[@DarkRoastRecording]

the tonebridge app doesn't 'look' for a dongle or interface, it only accepts whatever the audio driver on the device sees, and it will always see the iRig since its just connecting to the headphone port anyway. There's no DSP happening here.

[@addictedtolacroix]

Dark Roast Recording thank you!

[@qibbsqurnia9657]

Hello sir, i want to buy it..but may i know if acoustic guitar with build in amp sounds good on irig2? Would you recommend?

[@joebancroft9589]

i hope so i’m in the same situation as you

[@DarkRoastRecording]

yes it would if you connect it to the headphone/mic 3.5mm jack. Just check your sound settings to make sure GB is taking signal from the built in mic input. Ideally, a USB interface would be better for PC or MAC usage rather than an analog device like this rig 2. if you are looking for a cheap one, check out the Behringer UMC22 or the Bandlab Link Digital interfaces.

[@vio4jesus]

@@DarkRoastRecording WOW!! I didn’t know TC Helicon had an audio interface. The challenge is I want both Audio and MIDI. The MIDI is used to change patches /presets and things. I use Xtone by XSonic…..but sadly (and perhaps not surprisingly) the foot switches trigger a MIDI message on release rather than press.

[@rod9944]

Can I use bias fx 2 mobile with this ?

[@DarkRoastRecording]

you bet, its just another way to get the sound from your guitar into the iPad or iPhone.

[@deanrochester419]

How can I use this with my Martin, which has a piezo pickup in it? I try it through IK AmpliTube and also Garageband and run the headphone out to my Bose Color SoundLink. It is a great little speaker, but I am looking for a clean sound and there is so much distortion and gain noise. Should I connect the FX 1/4 to my Bose instead of the headphone out from the irig 2?

[@DarkRoastRecording]

Try adjusting the EQ on the guitar to get rid of some noise, and then yes, try sending the sound from the 1/4" amp output to the Bose instead of the headphone jack. the headphone jack is low powered. You may still get noise, so try using an app like Deplike or Garageband and put a nisegate pedal in the chain to cut out the signal noise.

[@DarkRoastRecording]

only if you are using a device that doesn't have a headphone port on its own.

[@DarkRoastRecording]

best to use the "amp output" 1/4 connection to a set of powered speakers. even just a decent set of computer speakers would be better than the iPad speakers. but technically, yes that will work.

[@DarkRoastRecording]

I think the issues you are having is related to the dongle. It has to be an apple certified headphone dongle for it to work on the ipad pro usb c. Also, i think (read this right) you have the headphones connected to the amp output, but they should really be connected to the headphones jack same side as the 3.5mm cable going to the ipad. Hope that helps!

[@DarkRoastRecording]

@@8regz3 sorry, i was thinking the irig hd 2, the irig 2 does have the headphones same side as guitar input. So that’s good. Yes the 3.5mm going into the ipad needs to use a certified apple 3.5mm to usb-c dongle or you will have issues

[@joseluiz_bh]

Is there any latency or delay using this on iPad?

[@unaffected95]

I have a huge delay with the usb c dongle connector to my ipad pro that I don't have nearly as much of when I connect to a device that can use the native 3.5mm connector in the headphone jack.

[@DarkRoastRecording]

There will always be a slight delay, but typically as unaffected95 mentions, its pretty minimal using the headphone dongle as there is no extra processing.

[@smroovy]

Can you plug your iRig into an amp? Thanks!

[@DarkRoastRecording]

You can, just connect another patch cable from the iRig "Amp output" to any amp and use the volume dial to send audio.
