A quick test of Amplitube for iPad
Today I re-recorded a song of mine with Amplitube for iPad using their studio DAW and some carefully honed amps and effects. The drums are from drum session!
Comments
Sounds great Derek. Back in the saddle.
The amps sound great...the effects are really cool as well. The studio is perfect. You really need to sit down and experiment with some configurations...but it was a breeze....I'll credit that to my experiences in real world studio environments and how they've replicated some cool analogue equipment mixed in with some new school DAW technology!
So you prefer this over jamup now? I thought you were really satisfied with that and BIAS?
I never really went back to amplitube after getting jamup. Although I only have the iPhone app which is probably not as good as the iPad one. Maybe I'll have to try it out a little more. It is good to have alternatives. If Ampkit had any midi support I'd probably want to try that out more, though, but they don't...
This was just my first test...sure, it will take a little time to get everything smoothed out perfect but I am pretty satisfied with the initial result. JamUp/Bias....unfortunately, it pains me to open these apps. I'm having much more fun here.
Yes, I own literally EVERY guitar amp sim out there. I played though them all the other day. There are only 4 real apps out. Ampkit, JamUp, Amplitube, and Bias....all the others just don't produce any type of useable sound. Ampkit is killer for heavy shredding...I've got some cool presets in that one.
I just wish they had a better recording interface. Amplitube' setup for recording is pretty awesome...everything in one app.
It keeps me from jumping around...don't get me wrong, I still export to Auria and stuff for final mix....but this keeps me from adding extra steps
Lol...sometimes it's enough...sometimes I need more...but I can always bounce several tracks to one track if I need to
@derekbuddemeyer...please reassure me that there is real objectivity going on here. I am surely not alone in viewing you and a few others on this site as role models - your words/experience carry a lot of weight when deciding which apps to buy. I have always been a huge Jamup fan, inspired by no small part by your comments/tracks and videos. Now, just about to splash out on Bias, partly influenced by your enthusiasm.
Previously, I have looked at Amplitube and have been quite envious of the recording studio and drum looper add-ons but up to now have remained loyal to Positive Grid hoping for similar add-on developments and, partly by your continual endorsements.
So, truthfully is your new-found enthusiasm for Amplitube over Jamup a case of sour grapes, perhaps? Or, a considered opinion from a true professional and gifted guitarist/musician - and one I really rate?
Sounds great. The thing with posting stuff like this... I can't blame my equipment anymore... ;-)
@Jomodu (takes a big deep breath....) Ok...let's clear the air here. This may be quite lengthy...so grab a coffee, lol. When I first started using iOS devices for my guitar needs, there were very few apps available. I think Amplitube was the only one out back then. Excited about the chance to play my guitar through iOS emulated amps and effects, I purchased it right away...and continued to buy all the added packs to beef up my digital arsenal. Unfortunately, it just wasn't cutting it back in the early days. I also tried Ampkit...which had some really good high gain options. After a while I noticed an advertisement on the Internet describing a new kind of amp sim called JamUp. I immediately contacted the company to voice my opinion on the matter...what iOS needs for guitarists, how it should sound, what it should do, etc. A few short days later...they company contacted me and expressed their wishes to work hand in hand with me in helping them bring their app to life. After countless hours and a few years of relentless work...you now have a great amp sim from Positive Grid. During the time I had devoted myself to PG, I had neglected all other guitar apps. They have all matured in a great way...the sounds are better, the effects are better, and the interfaces are all boasting some impressive results. The other day, I decided to download EVERY amp sim available and really give them a thorough run for their money. In my opinion, there are only a few major players in this world. Ampkit, JamUp, Amplitube, and Bias (not listed in any particular order). They all have their own set of strengths and weaknesses. It's all about personal taste. What might be right for me...may not be what's best for you or anyone else. So, let's get into this...
First and foremost, I am a musician, composer, and guitarist. I use the tools that suit my needs. I also feel it is my duty to give a fair and unbiased opinion on the tools I use. So, is my recent posting of Amplitube sounds fueled by bitterness? No. That would be unprofessional and unfair to the many members of various forums that read my posts and lean heavily on my advice (and I am very honored to have so many take my word so seriously when weighing their decision on purchasing an app). I WILL say this...I am having a blast with Amplitube....and I'll give you a rundown of my opinion on this app....
Personally, in order to find the tones I wanted...I had to purchase some extras. Some are going to cost you some cash (the recording package...if you're going to get this...then go all the way. I'm quite happy with this.). I am getting some really cool tones here...very usable. I'm actually editing a video today using Amplitube. The master effects are great. The DAW is something I wasn't expecting. It's very well thought out and intuitive. The ability to re-amp your tracks is great too. The drum machine is a cool component as well. In order to have all the options at your disposal...you're going to have to spend some money. I took the plunge...and for the price of a mediocre guitar pedal from the music shop, I found myself quite happy with the results.
I purchased the Slash bundle, Soldano SLO 100, T-Rex Möller overdrive, a band EQ, a bass amp, and the full recording package. It was money well spent. I'll have a video up hopefully tonight or tomorrow so you can see and hear for yourself.
I'm not made of money...so I take my purchases seriously. In this case, I have no regrets. As with all amp sims...you're going to want to take some time with the different configurations as there are a ton of possibilities for tone creation. Experiment and find something you're happy with.
I hope this helps. If you have any questions or comments, you can be sure that I will always give you my honest opinion....and do my best to help you achieve your goals in iOS music production.
@derekbuddemeyer....coffee tastes good, thanks. I really appreciate your response and such helpful advice regarding Amplitube...certainly has helped the decision process. Looking forward to that video and future tracks as you fine-tune your expertise with Amplitube.
Fully trust and value your opinions, Derek, and thanks for taking the time to reassure.
