    @Coloobar Seems like you had a bit of an about face... what changed?

    iOS apps are cool in a lot of ways, love the myriad of effects and even ran in stereo for a while. I think that I wanted it to work so bad that I was willing to overlook the downsides... they are a compromise as far as noise, lag, and overall tone. One of the buttons on my Behringer Fcb1010 also stopped working. I got myself a good tube amp and never looked back.

    After a year between my other answer I want to add...
    I will suggest it less than never even with iOS fixes...
    Said that I’m trying to recycle old iPhone4+irig midi into fc100mk2 midi mod translator (it sends weird messaging) to plug it inside GTL. Just for my experimental shit tier in my masochist business plan of course...

    Do you still use iOS for studio/recording/home/practice/etc in a guitar rig?

    Nope - it's much easier to flip a switch on my amp then to get all of the apps and interface set up on the iPad. Half the time I had to kill and restart apps again to try and get them working together.

    I just finished recording a band demo using a Fender Deluxe Reverb that came out with a pretty good guitar tone, IMO. We tried fiddling around with lots of mic settings and in the end just went with a straight SM57. You can check it out here: https://sonsofgenesis.com/

    I also bought AUM (finally) and Elastic FX when it was on sale, with the idea of using the iPad only for effects (phaser, flanger, delay, etc) but I haven't gotten around to trying it yet. I was waiting for Audiobus to support Midi learn first...which has finally arrived - yay!

    Mine is more djing/keyboard/keytar (with backing tracks) so iOS has a place in composition (BlocsWave, Garageband, Stagelight) and experimental (LoopyHd, GTL, Impaktor...) stuff but if I go pro gig then mac/dedicated hardware is my tool. As examples...

    • I bought a Korg MicroArranger (KMA) that I sold later only due buying amac mini again and recover my Mainstage license use. Also for importing garageband on the go recordings to edit them more productively (and maybe export into Logic in the future).
    • Also I bought a Numa Stage 2 to avoid weird situations with mac rebooting or whatever.
    • Also I bought a MicroKorg to improve my first diy keytar (controller) into standalone analog synth with vocoder.
    • Also I look into other more expensive gear for arranging/live looping but probably I will go with the mac until I get the funding to invest in these. For not so pro gigs I will try iPad mini4/dock GTL but promoters will be warned beforehand “As you pay, as you get”. Also looking in renting equipment for dedicated gigs and get an insurance too.

    So... the recycled phone is until I can get the proper tools but I don’t expect flawless from any iOS device anymore... if never were... talking about professional stuff of course. As amateur do what you can with whatever you have. ATM is my plan and I invest more in video setup for youtube or tutorials for educate myself than iOS related stuff.

    I get into the other post before end this posting. More or less the same answer but feel free to ask whatever. I will be very glad to share my rants thoughts.

    My iPad guitar rig is rock solid. I trust it 100% for performing live. I'm using Behringer Fcb1010 stock pedal board, Alesis IO Dock 2. I keep it simple. Tonestack, Audiobus, and Master Record that stays on 100% of the time while I'm playing (secret weapon of killer guitar tone). I never change from those 3 apps because I get everything that I need from them.

    Biggest problem that I had originally was lag while changing presets with an iPad 4. I upgraded to the latest iPad and that problem is now solved.

    Physically I don't think my rig would be able to tolerate much abuse if I was on tour or something, but for band practice and one-off shows it's great. I've already had my iPad fall out of the Alesis dock once, and the holder that I use to fasten the Alesis to my mic stand is kind of flimsy.

    What is master record
