Hello! Nice video, very informative, thanks a lot! You might wanna correct the typo in your title for better referencement Pete. Thanks to your channel, I invested in a USB to lightning adapter, and magic! My old 2012 Zoom H4n turns into an audio interface straight into my iPhone SE! I can either use the line ins for the stereo output of my old Yamaha MG82CX (although the level is quite high), or use the very good built in X/Y mic couple, and tweak in the effects and preamp settings... Considering to upgrade to a newer Zoom recorder, maybe with more channels! Cheers from Paris!
Hi! Thank you for very helpful video. I bought irig HD2 last month (I watched your videos) and it changed my life totally. The guitar sound quality is way better to my normal iphone camera. I should have bought it long ago.
I want to know if with a video app on my iPad pro you can now record video, singing and acoustic guitar at the same time without using software to sync audio and video? Thank you.
I use GarageBand on my iPad Pro with a USB C connection a lot but I want to get a IK Multimedia iRig Pro Quattro I/O Audio Interface so I can plug my guitar into it or dual mics on my amp. Would this work on this device? Thanks in advance!
Please help, have posted this question many places no answer ☹️. On StarMaker no vocal playback or monitoring. I can hear music but not my self back. What I have Volt 1 interface, Apple earbuds wired and studio headset audiotechnica. iPhone 11, lightening to camera usb adapt, nt1, and at2035 mic. Solutions please help . One thing on garage band I can hear my vocals back just not on smule and StarMaker, I do turn on audio monitoring on the app.
I think you asked this elsewhere here too? Looks like you’re looking for the ability to turn in monitoring. Maybe ask over at the Create Record Release Facebook group at createrecordreleaae.com, or the Discord group here - studiolivetoday.com/discord.
Ive got the hd2 and the irig will only connect to my old out dated ipad mini ive been trying for almost a year to get it to work with my new ipad air 4 even bought adapters but still nothing 😕
Hi Pete, very nice summary of various options at various price points. I'm still using a bunch of IK Multimedia products, because they are so plug n play with my iPad - iRig HD2, iRig Acoustic Stage and iRig Mic Studio (USB version). I'm very happy with them all. But when it comes to guitar specific interfaces, it seems that they have really raised the bar with the iRig AXE I/O products (2 versions exist - the standard one and the "solo" version). Do you have any experience with these yet or do you plan to? I have heard very good things about them, for the guitar tone purists our there.
Hey there! I just purchased the iRig HD 2...when plugged into your amp and using a modeling app like Amplitude or Tonebridge, do you prefer using the clean channel or distortion channel?
@@bosta84Hi. I think that if you are getting your tones and effects via apps like you said, you probably don’t want extra tones from your amp. Therefore, I’d go clean on your amp and add all tones and effects on your apps. Less variables and moving parts, probably more reproducible/saveable and if you are emulating a specific tone of a favourite song using Tonebridge, it would be ruined if your amp wasn’t clean.
Is there anyway whilst being plugged into AmpliTube via IRig2 to then use another app (RUclips, Solo etc) at the same time? I.e whenever I minimise the screen on iPad it instantly cuts off the sound through Aplitube with headphones plugged in. Seems to be a major flaw of AmpliTube!
Hi there Pete Jeff the Metal Head Hippie sent me your way!! Been writing lots of music lately would love it if you checked out my latest few creations, I’d love you opinion and if you think they’re good enough to play on your show.

I just bought the first IRig to connect to my IPhone SE 2nd Gen and I got some annoying feedback whenever I strummed my strings. Tried all the different noise gates in the app, tried all my guitars, tried different guitar cables, tried different headphones and nothing worked to get rid of the crackling soooo I’m guessing it’s the IRig. I don’t know 🤷♂️ if I should get another IRig, upgrade to the IRig 2, or just go with a different brand audio interface.
This is pretty common with distorted tones and some guitars with noisier pickups. The solution is generally to upgrade to an interface that uses a digital connection like the iRig HD. studiolivetoday.com/gear
@@PeteJohnsMusic Thank you for taking the time to respond to my comment with advice. I have 3 electric guitars: 2 with Active Pickups and 1 with Passive. All with the same result. I would only get the crackling sounding feedback when I would strum the strings and when I wasn’t strumming absolutely no feedback. I tried playing through some clean non distorted Pre amps with the same result. I will give the IRig Hd a shot. I have found a great Free App by Mooer called “GE Labs”. It comes with 177 Effects. It’s not like the other apps where you have to pay to get the good content. I highly recommend. Thanks again and you’ve got yourself another subscriber my friend. Take care!
Hi Pete! I know this video is kinda old, but I´m from Argentina and the I Rig HD is pretty expensive for our current ecnomic situation... and i have my doubts... Mi question is: My budget is around fifty dollar, so, is the Tascam iXZ good for my iPad (8th generation) or do I really need to use something digital like the HD version of the IRig?
So, you will definitely get better quality audio with a digital interface, but there aren’t really many digital interfaces i that price range. The iXZ will definitely give you decent quality and probably the best in the price range. studiolivetoday.com/gear
@@PeteJohnsMusic Thanks Pete for your quick answer! So... I think I'm goin to make an effort and buy the IRig HD (around 100 dollars in Ebay) because I'm not sure if an analogic signal would give me a decent quality while I'm recording (Right Now I have an old Irig clone and it does sound awful while I'm recording, eventhough the result later is decent) . I love your channel, keep it up!!
Hi there, do you know why people can only hear audio from the left side of the headphone when I am doing the livestream ? I am using the iRig pro dua and have a condenser microphone using XLR cable connected to the iRig pro dua… I don’t know how to fix it because I don’t know what the problem why people only can only hear left side of the headphone when they listening to my livestream ? Please help. Thanks in advance.
Yeah. This is a common issue and unfortunately related to two channel devices using stereo. A mixer or single channel interface in mono may work better. Maybe ask over at the Create Record Release Facebook group at createrecordreleaae.com, or the Discord group here - studiolivetoday.com/discord.
Thank you for this video. I recently got the donner interface and I’ve noticed some annoying latency when recording electric guitar in GarageBand. I’m using the m1 iPad Pro so it shouldn’t give this latency. Any suggestions on how to correct this? Thank you so much.
Hey man, so I have a question. I was thinking of buying the Irig 2 but I don’t want to use Phone amp presets is there anyway I can Record my actual amp with this and use the audio in GarageBand? Thanks 😅
Hey there. We talked about this on the podcast which you can check out here - ruclips.net/video/bKAs5EmZNwA/видео.html. In short, yes you can but you'd need an audio interface that supports a microphone input, as opposed to a guitar. You can use the line out from an amp but in my experience it doesn't do a great job.
Hello Pete and thanks for your amazing videos. Is there a way to impose mono out ou the irig pro duo when plugin only one microphone ? It is in use in a school and it would be nice for some user to have direct good sound on dictaphone and not only left or only right.
just a question, is it possible to plug your guitar to your laptop with the irig pro i/o and use toning softwares to do the pedal’s job with the same quality as actual pedals? (featuring speakers connected to the laptop)
Hi Pete, Bothering you once again; can I use Tascam iXZ for live streaming by inserting the headphones-monitor out (carrying finally mixed GarageBand sounds of karaoke track and vocal only) from my iPhone/iPad? I know it’s an analogue sound output but, I have another backup iPad Mini2 to use for going live. Also, with Tascam iXZ is it possible to use the microphone input and instrument input simultaneously? If so, how to do it?
Hey there. So you’d need a second audio interface, preferably stereo, to input the audio in to the other device. The standard TRRS jack technically has an input but it’s a mono microphone input so the quality wouldn’t be great even if you used a TRRS to TRS adapter. This video shows how this works with a digital keyboard and the principle is the same. ruclips.net/video/Dbz8sxuy5X0/видео.html
Hey Jeff. If you are using the iRig 2 that uses your headphone jack, it should let you record in pretty much any app? Ask over at the Create Record Release Facebook group if you need help. createrecordreleaae.com
Pete, I got a 20% off code at Guitar Center, so I ordered the iRig Pro I/O Duo. I should be able to pick it up tomorrow. I'll also use it for future Acoustic Triple Shots and maybe a live stream!
Just bought the TASCAM IXZ from your recommendation for my iPhone and it’s complete trash. Barley picks up the guitar and I can hear everything in the room for some reason. Am I doing something wrong
That’s odd? Where did you get it from? Analog interfaces will always pick up more noise (depending on your guitar) but definitely usable in my experience? Make sure you keep the gain low.
@@PeteJohnsMusic I got it for like 35$ on Amazon. I’m just going to return it and pick up one of the digital ones I think . Btw all of your content is spot on and your great
Cheers Pete. I feel I’ve outgrown my iRig2 and you had kinda recommended the iRig I/O Duo based on my needs. I’m really looking forward to Christmas now!
The HD Behringers are not bad at all. The only main difference is that you pretty much need to have the powered usb hub for all Behringer interfaces - ruclips.net/video/Sc-_LiuqiRA/видео.html
Dear Pete, it’s always great to see that there’s a video of yours available whenever we need some guidance regarding iOS music production! I know this one isn’t so recent, but the thing is: after nearly 8yrs improvising with a M-Audio interface, I’m about to upgrade my gear and I was wondering if the iRig Pro I/O is compatible with my iPhone 12 (my main device these days, and I think it was released after iRig Pro I/O, so it got me a little worried) and my iPad Pro from 2017 or so. Do you know if that’s the case? Sorry for such a lengthy question! Thank you so much!!!
@@PeteJohnsMusic Dear Pete, I'm sorry it took me so long to write this after such an immediate reply from you! You've helped me a lot (again): thanks to your video and what you wrote me, I was able to work with my mic/guitar/bass again and I can't wait to use the iRig Pro I/O properly once I end up moving and everything is set in my new home. Thank you so much, my friend!
Hey there. Yes, if you’re using something like GarageBand on your device or any other DAW or software you can. ruclips.net/video/eRh8EC4gCas/видео.html
Can you confirm the I/O Irig is PC compatible? Trying to decide to buy it or not and would appreciate your help on that question. Informative video. Thank you for sharing.
@@PeteJohnsMusic Thank you sir. I just got it today and seems to be working but I need help. I am only hearing my guitar effects when I record and play it back. Is there a setting that lets you hear the guitar sounds before you record? A live Amplifier so you can play around? Appreciate your help. Thank you.
I wanted to start recording tests with the Ipad, and can't believe how much difference the Irig 2 HD made compared to the cheap junk I was using to make the recording tests (a COPY of the Irig 1). High Latency, high noise floor.....also with that copy junk I was getting some really nasty feedback. Plugged the Irig HD 2 , the noise was gone, the hiss and the feedback too, even with high gain amps the noise is super low. And the interface came with a killer collection of software: Amplitube All In One for the Ipad (as luck would have it, a special promotion lasting only for a while) Amplitube 4 complete for the desktop, Amplitube 5 LE, and more. And Amplitube is far superior to the amp sim in Garageband, although of course there's nothing wrong with the latter. In conclusion, the Irig HD 2 is pretty impressive, I think it's well worth it. Thank you for your video 👍
another glaring difference I noticed is that with the Irig 1 copy used in the standalone amp sim, the low end was much more pronounced than when using the same interface in Garageband with the same amp sim as inter-app. But with the Irig HD 2 the tone was exactly the same as in the standalone amp sim. Pretty incredible!
Thanks Pete, I keep an eye on the used market a good spot to grab a backup or entry level device to explore what’s possible with iOS devices. I second the input gain being important.
Hi Pete, great insight. What is more responsible for a great tone? The DAW or the interface. I use irig with GarageBand but feel I’m not anywhere close to the tone I’d like to get get across. Thanks I’m advance.
@@TheLogan1186your guitar is the sound source. It’s always possible that your issue with time is coming from the instrument. I’m dealing with this right now
You’re very welcome my friend. I hope you get value from the other videos here on the channel and consider subscribing. 👍 Http://studiolivetoday.com/gear
I think the Hotone Jogg usb interface is worth a mention for connecting guitars... Works on iPad with a camera adapter. Similar size to the irig but has a solid metal case.
@@PeteJohnsMusic thanks….I’m using the irig2…running the headphone out into my stereo, then from there using headphones. This almost completely eliminates bleed…but I want to upgrade…looking at options. I record guitar direct, no raging tones, so I like the sounds I get….hi gain doesn’t seem to sound good direct to my ears….where I live now I can’t crank up my amps….

You've helped me a lot (again): thanks to your video and what you wrote me, I was able to work with my mic/guitar/bass again and I can't wait to use the iRig Pro I/O properly once I end up moving and everything is set in my new home. Thank you so much, my friend!
Love my irig pre only complaint is it’s not totally silent there’s a slight hiss noise very slight tho
Yeah, unfortunately any analog interface will likely have a little more noise and hiss to deal with.

I’ve used the irig hd2 in Logic Pro X and GarageBand iOS. It’s good.
Nice! Yeah the iRig Pro I/O has pretty much the same input and converter and it’s really good.
Hi Pete my iRig Pro has the top light red, what it means?
Your input volume is too loud most likely.
Sorry, I am new to this. Do these iRigs allow you to play a backing track through your amp while playing your guitar through the amp as well? Thanks.
Hey there. Yes, if you’re using something like GarageBand on your device or any other DAW or software you can. ruclips.net/video/eRh8EC4gCas/видео.html
Thanks! Ordered one today.
Can you confirm the I/O Irig is PC compatible? Trying to decide to buy it or not and would appreciate your help on that question. Informative video. Thank you for sharing.
Yes, it's a class compliant device which means it can be used with any Windows PC via USB. studiolivetoday.com/gear
@@PeteJohnsMusic Thank you sir. I just got it today and seems to be working but I need help. I am only hearing my guitar effects when I record and play it back. Is there a setting that lets you hear the guitar sounds before you record? A live Amplifier so you can play around? Appreciate your help. Thank you.
Using Bandlab. Neglected to add that earlier. Thanks
I wanted to start recording tests with the Ipad, and can't believe how much difference the Irig 2 HD made compared to the cheap junk I was using to make the recording tests (a COPY of the Irig 1). High Latency, high noise floor.....also with that copy junk I was getting some really nasty feedback. Plugged the Irig HD 2 , the noise was gone, the hiss and the feedback too, even with high gain amps the noise is super low. And the interface came with a killer collection of software: Amplitube All In One for the Ipad (as luck would have it, a special promotion lasting only for a while) Amplitube 4 complete for the desktop, Amplitube 5 LE, and more. And Amplitube is far superior to the amp sim in Garageband, although of course there's nothing wrong with the latter. In conclusion, the Irig HD 2 is pretty impressive, I think it's well worth it. Thank you for your video 👍
Nice one! Yes, I really must do a direct comparison between the analog and digital iRigs. It really does make a big difference.
another glaring difference I noticed is that with the Irig 1 copy used in the standalone amp sim, the low end was much more pronounced than when using the same interface in Garageband with the same amp sim as inter-app. But with the Irig HD 2 the tone was exactly the same as in the standalone amp sim. Pretty incredible!
I'm Japanese guitarist.
Sorry, I can't translate this video.
So, which model is the best?
IRig Pro Duo I I’ll give you the best flexibility. studiolivetoday.com/gear
thank you!!!!
@@PeteJohnsMusic Can I get amplitube5 if I buy hd2？
Hey man,
Have you ever used Omec teleport/Orange or Hottone Jogg.....maybe a versus vídeo?
I haven’t used either to be honest sorry?
Ok Thanks. The idea still there
Thanks Pete, I keep an eye on the used market a good spot to grab a backup or entry level device to explore what’s possible with iOS devices.
I second the input gain being important.
Yup. It’s easy to use great gear but make crappy sounds because you’re setting the input gain too high. (Or too low)
Hi Pete, great insight. What is more responsible for a great tone? The DAW or the interface. I use irig with GarageBand but feel I’m not anywhere close to the tone I’d like to get get across. Thanks I’m advance.
Sound source and then interface. DAW really doesn’t have much impact at all to be honest. It’s all just digital audio, so ones and zerosz
@@PeteJohnsMusic oh I gotcha. What do you mean by sound source?
@@TheLogan1186your guitar is the sound source. It’s always possible that your issue with time is coming from the instrument. I’m dealing with this right now
Good stuff Mate 👍👍👍🤙🤙🤙💯

Amazing video Pete!

@@PeteJohnsMusic just ordered the irigHD 2 thanks to your video and I subscribed as well!
I think the Hotone Jogg usb interface is worth a mention for connecting guitars... Works on iPad with a camera adapter. Similar size to the irig but has a solid metal case.
Nice! Yes, there’s lots of good options for connecting nice clean guitar signals. 👍
Yo
Yo
will the tascam ixz eliminate bleed?
Reduce yes. Probably not completely eliminate. A digital interface like the HD, Pro or Duo would be best.
@@PeteJohnsMusic thanks….I’m using the irig2…running the headphone out into my stereo, then from there using headphones. This almost completely eliminates bleed…but I want to upgrade…looking at options. I record guitar direct, no raging tones, so I like the sounds I get….hi gain doesn’t seem to sound good direct to my ears….where I live now I can’t crank up my amps….
@@PeteJohnsMusic meant to say I use only pedals….none of the amplitubes or whatever they are
Thanks
You’re very welcome my friend. I hope you get value from the other videos here on the channel and consider subscribing. 👍
Edit the title please 🥲
This would have been a good place to explain why and provide suggestions? 🤔
@@PeteJohnsMusic It says Gutiar?
@@PeteJohnsMusic LOL
I see he got right on that. LoL
@@PeteJohnsMusic Still hilariously dumb response god bless your heart
Hi Pete, Love the content - keep it coming.
Thanks my friend.
I was using the cheap probably not IRig. Loving the Steinberg UR12, quality is massive!! Sounds better when I'm drinking from my SLT Mug!!
Hahah! Very cool. Steinberg really give you some clean inputs. And the mug definitely gives your playing a 20% boost. 😄
