Specifically, Best App for Acoustic Guitar

edited July 2014 in General App Discussion

Okay, there's now a lot of apps out there compared to a year ago that you can pipe your Acoustic through to get a good sound. I'd like to know, from you Acoustic Guitar players out there, which app gets the best all around sound for you? Great for rhythm as well as lead, picking or strumming. Specifically, which cabinet/amp/effects/settings inside which app? I'm hoping for just a single app for this, not a chain of apps just to keep it simple. Please let me know what you like best, there are a lot of great Guitar geniuses on this forum and I respect whatever insight you all can provide. Thanks!

    I like it real simple, just 2 pencil condensers mics (xy) into cubasis with a little reverb and eq. I was using cubasis reverb but now sometimes I'll use audioreverb. That's it for me with my acoustics. I'm no genius just my 2 cents. Cheers!

    Thanks @Bootsy. I'm hoping for opinions for non-Mic'd direct-digital into the IOS device because Mics and Mic postioning vary the sounds a lot. I currently like Master Efx for a great sound over these others, but maybe there's an IAP for Amplitube/JamUp/Bias/AmpKit/FlyingHaggis/ToneStack/ who-knows-what that would give a better sound?

    I prefer Bias and FH, but I haven't put Tonestack through the wringer yet. Also, Auria with some plug-ins is in the race too.

    What about classical nylon accoustics? Never yet come across a "direct digital" pickup for mine. Tried a few in-hole pickups and they all sound terrible, wimpy basses and shrill high ends. SO I use an SM57. The question for me is the App that signal hits first for conditioning. JamUP Pro, so far not found any patch that doesn't make it sound like an electric trying to be an accoustic steel guitar. Have ToneStack but yet to try that. Anyone found a good patch or other App?

    I've been happy just with a bit of EQ and reverb with AUFX PeakQ and AUFX space.

  • TarekithTarekith

    Mainly just using the Fabfilter Pro-Q and Pro-C in Auria with my Taylor, great tools for shaping the guitar signal without messing with the tone. I tend to prefer individual effects in Auria for altering my sounds, versus using a dedicated guitar app. Most are nice enough, it's just not my thing. :)

    After a few experiments trying to use my nylon string, mainly in Auria, I found a mix of mic and pick up with minimal processing worked best, but I'm still experimenting. Get the mic in the right place, add it to the pick up and it can sound pretty good. I do have quite a good pick up (and guitar) though. I'm trying to get the guitar to do different things at the moment - be a steel string, electric or bass, just for fun. There's even the possibility of using Drumagog and getting the guitar to play the drums, but I haven't got that far yet.

    Don't check out MIDI Guitar app yet then :)

  • FitzFitz

    My guitar does have a midi pick up and I have experimented with midi apps but I don't really like changing the way I play to make something happen. And that's what seems to happen with midi, especially with a nylon string.

  • TedBPhxTedBPhx

    Ampkit has Trace Eliot emulation. Never used it myself.

  • FitzFitz

    Is that not a bass amp sim?

  • jg707jg707

    I have found the best combination is sending my acoustics pickup through BIAS and then also mic it with a condenser and record those two signal paths on two seperate tracks. That gets a very warm and accurate sound in Auria...

    Normally I'd agree completely, but this software is the first I've used that tracks the audio signal so smoothly it feels barely like a convertor at all. Not sure how that would work with the nylon strongs though, so probably not a good idea anyway still :)

  • TedBPhxTedBPhx

    @Fitz you're right! The Fender Acusonic is the acoustic amp in AmpKit

  • boone51boone51

    For me, I run my acoustic directly into Auria dry via Apogee Jam. I like to record dry and then tweak it out (sometimes with Bias) after the fact.

    Ok, will give it a go. I've tried midimorphosis but without much success. Maybe it is the fact that it is a nylon string. Too much going on.
