Ampkit+ with DAW Inter-App Audio weirdness
I've been trying to use Ampkit+ in my DAW (Multitrackstudio) with some strange results. First, when I connect Ampkit+ to the DAW, Ampkit+ always shows the input device as a headphone jack connection. If I unplug my headphones, Ampkit+ stops processing the IAA signal. Shouldn't Ampkit+ show the input device as IAA? Is it not set up correctly? I don't see a way to change it.
My second (stranger) problem is that if I output a clean guitar signal from my DAW to Ampkit+ with IAA, it sounds great for about a second. Then it seems like Ampkit+ (or the DAW) is auto-adjusting the I/O levels down to a point where it's barely even receiving a signal from the DAW. The volume rapidly drops and sound quality deteriorates to an unuseable state. I don't see a way in Ampkit+ to stop this from happening. What's causing the input level to drop like this?
I don't have the same problems when I connect the DAW to other apps like JamUp or BIAS.

Ampkit works but not Ampkit+? That does not compute. They're the same thing
Sorry I meant JamUp or BIAS.
I just picked up Multitrackstudio, and immediately tried hooking everything up with IAA since that DAW makes it very easy to load IAA instruments/effects. I'm about done with IAA unless it's for a very simple hook up to import a particular sound into an app. The "one instance at a time" thing is pretty limiting when you are trying to do multiple guitar apps. And the behavior of apps connected by IAA is just very "alpha". Some of them have the functioning control panel with the timer and rec/play buttons, but the clock never actually seems to work and I can never tell if it actually records. And other apps are missing the controls altogether.
AudioBus requires running an external app, but it still works a heck of a lot better.

@StormJH1 I wasn't able to load MTS into AB as an input device. Am I doing it wrong?
I contacted Agile and they said it's absolutely normal that IAA in AmpKit works only when something is plugged in the headphone jack. This way the internal mic gets muted and doesn't interrupt IAA with surrounding sounds.
@Coloobar said:
MTS only works as an output app with AudioBus. From their description:
• Supports Audiobus (acts as output in Audiobus app).
So there's no way in MTS to take a clean guitar track and then use AB to run that into another app and back to MTS... we're stuck with using IAA.
Turns out there's a setting in the Ampkit+ I/O panel to automatically adjust the levels to avoid feedback. That's what was causing the levels to drop. Issue solved.
