One of the things I will look at is if you need to log out of email and Social Networking apps while using it. I am wondering though how Multitasking friendly Amplitube is. Thanks, I'll hit it again in the next week and a half and have another good look at things. it might not always be the VST that's causing CPU crackles but rather a hot guitar input or just a patch that was written to be a little too hot.

Or are you saying it's excellent for playing/recording 1 killer tone at a time? Excellent modelling, lots of FX, and it sounds absolutely killer. A while back I ended up buying one of these, and it's what I'll stick with:Īnd it's just about the greatest thing since sliced bread. Other folks on forums say nay, it doesn'tĪs much as it pains me to say this - because, well, I want my ENTIRE life to run through my iPad at this point, lol - these amp sim apps just don't cut it. One guy on a YouTube vid says it helps quite a bit. There's some real debate about whether or not your going to get better performance by using a dock connector audio cable. I was also turned off by not enough effects other than distortion. Might as well plug into a laptop, where you can run Live & have a good quality recording of any happy accidents. Seems like a nice idea but pretty much everyone has told me that the sound quality would never be useable on a gig, it's basically usable for practicing with headphones only.

The iLink is a better interface though not quite the build quality of the iRig. The key is to keep the iPad volume at half or lower to start out, and watch the gain as Tone pointed out. I've not noticed any bad clipping or feedback with either one. Theres ads at each startup for some iPad mic stand holder thingy as well as 5 new stomp boxes. I will say that the popup ads in AmpliTube are almost a deal breaker. God forbid AmpKit should include anything so avante garde. There's actually a pretty decent envelope filter included. The interface is way nicer and rather slick. The modeling is better for my tastes, and it's much quicker to change shit around. On second thought, I do prefer AmpliTube. Adjustments are done by twirling the knobs on the pedals which is way cooler than the slider method with AmpKit. Adding/changing pedals is a tad better with this one, but the method of saving presets is stupid. You can only have a max of 4 pedals going which completely sucks. It also gives you a bass amp modeller- which AmpKit does not. The interface, and how you add or subtract pedals, is utterly hamfisted.Īmplitube isn't much better, but at least you get some FX that broaden your range of sounds beyond the hairband extravaganza. The plus side? You can have pretty much as many pedals going as you want. AmpKit is great if you want to sit around and play Metallica riffs all day. Had to pay an extra 10spot for the additional FX package. And I swear that half of the pedals are either fuzz or distortion or overdrive. I own them both and each one has got a serious list of cons.ĪmpKit doesn't even come with a proper delay pedal.
