@@stevenmeansphotography3861 yes, thru that line in using a trrs cable. also, can be used as am audio interface you any DAW thru a usb cable connected to the computer.
im n0t a noob when it comes t0 daw and asio this amp is junk for usb recording. when use in reaper it keep shut the daw off. then test in audacity records butt no play back. then off and on laptop made usb plug in sounds.then i use a usb mouse it stop working and the mouse is cord kind. if this amp fry my usb port im going to sue there butts.
I am using the equipment and connectors exactly as described, but when using the camera on my iPhone 13 it is only recording through the built in mic, and not the cable. So, the sound quality is not good. Anyone else experiencing this iPhone? Solutions?
both end TRRS cable via Apple Adapter to my iPhone8... no recording at all... only a loud hissing noise.... can you please suggest how to solve it? thank you, Love from India...
I'm having a bit of trouble with the livestream capability. Once I plug the TRRS cable in, I get a loud noise similar to when you plug in your guitar cable with no guitar. I tried recording a video and, fortunately, the noise does not make it into the recording. However, it is still annoying hearing that in the background when playing. Has anyone else had this issue? Other than that, my amp works just fine.
Hey there! Yes even me struggling with the same problem. But are you sure the recording is being carried out internally via cable and not through phones external mic ( assuming you recording it through a phone). The Trrs Cable is just working as an Aux cable.
@@sonamtamang5582 Hey! I asked the salesman and he told me it was probably because I was a using a long cable. I had been using a 3 m TRRS cable, so I switch to a 1.5 m one and the now it works just fine.
@@santiagosarmiento1413 Glad that it worked out for you man! Yes even m using 3m one. If its the case i should reconsider replacing it with 1m. But are you sure it resolves the problem of internal recording? Because my phone is recording it with its external mic.
facing the same issue with Blackstar Acoustic CORE30... both end TRRS via Apple Adapter to my iPhone8.. no recording at all.. only hissing sound... can you suggest something please.. thank you, Love from India...
Hello, Great Video and explanation. But.... how can i use livestream playing guitar over an backing track? I can't use the line in/streaming for the backing track in because its already in use for the TRRS livestream to the phone.. I have yhe ID Core V4 without BT. I can't also the headphone....very weak signal. Please help. I spent hours without a solution. Greetz from Martin the Netherlands
Hi thanks! Can you also hear the sound while you are playing then? I want to use this method to record guitar and edit it to a backing track and also matching to a video camera recording to share on social. Could you do a step-by-step of doing that? Would be so helpful! =)
This video was sooo very useful. Extreme thanks to you mate. I was wondering whether i could record through my camera as it is. Extremely useful, bruv.😄😄
Can I use a Trs 1/4 "adapter with the trrs 3.5 cable and Still get stereo results? I have a Camera that uses 1/4" inputs..doing a Review soon of the same amp..please let me know..thanks
Hey Andy, thank you for the video it's really insightful. Anw, can these amp make use of trrs splitter cable with aux cable to laptop and live streaming to smartphone in paralel? Sorry for bad english, thank you andy
Enjoyed that guide. Just picked up a core 10. I have no plans to livestream at all so is this TRRS cable needed for anything else or can I just ignore it?? Thanks.
Hi Andy, I already watched your opinion about blackstar id core. May I know is this amp pedal friendly? Like I want to use Tube Screamer or RAT on the input? Would it be sounds great too? Thanks in advance 👍🏻

Contemplation V3 here, thanks for the explanation and all the other ID:Core content you've shared. /// 1 I can't determine from the manual if Cab Rig settings are only routed through headphones and USB output and not the speakers and TRRS stream feed. Maybe a regular TRS connection from the headphones output is a workaround for some scenarios where you'd want to include the Cab Rig. Then add some kind of TRRS splitter to send the mixed output (incl. eg. backing tracks playing on the device) to both the streaming app and a headphones jack (not the one on the ID:Core). To include a mic use a loudspeaker app or something similar on another phone and send its output through its headphones jack to the ID:Core line in. /// 2 Or, if at home with a laptop/desktop open anyway, run it as a USB interface into your DAW and send the mixed output by TRS or TRRS cable to the streaming app. With a virtual mixer (like Voicemeeter on PC, native on MacOS IIRC) you can mix in any source from web or local file as well as a mic input. Totally overkill if there are some good apps that can mix both internal mic, jack input (from ID:Core) and virtual sources (eg. spotify) on the device itself. No clue about that, IIRC iOS allows for clever routing between audio apps but I've never tried it myself. /// 3 There is a TRRS use case as a stereo DI with the ID:Core volume controlled by the player as monitor level while FOH gets the emulated output. Previous versions muted the speaker. /// 3b There is a noticeable hiss/hum/white noise from my V1, both in speakers and headphones, some V2 users report the same, don't know if V3 is different. It's loud enough to make it unnerving as a podcast and youtube speaker for me. Would be an issue in more delicate venues and genres as well. /// 4 There is also a TRRS use case for the ID:Core 10 V3 I guess, for teachers f.ex. carrying it around to their students - or students carrying it around their music school, to quickly share a snippet or rough demo. Tech-averse singer songwriters also comes in mind. But still, the missing mic remains a hassle and there are other units available with a basic mic input as well, some of them also with built in rechargeable battery. If you don't need that nor a speaker you might as well use one of those tiny amplug thingys straight from the guitar's output jack or use an audio interface for the mobile device like IK's irig. /// 4b To just add verbal notes and such maybe some apps enables easy switching between jack input and internal mic. Or just sing and talk unplugged and record room sound into the phone mic and camera app if you can, good enough for 98% of the IG crowd I guess. If you really need almost studio quality 48k stereo you're probably not using a phone or tablet for that anyway? /// 5 I've got a decent signal chain for my acoustics going into the MP3 input on my ID:Core 20 V1 from a Zoom G multi fx where you can switch output impedance between line and amp level. The clean warm voice is almost usable for the piezo output from one of them and the great effects of the Core can then be used. /// Sorry for the long ramble - just trying to figure out how these options can be used best. I'm trying the tiny Beam next week, headphones out only on that one and I'm still rocking the MIGHTY FLY 3.
@Guitar-nerds just pointed me to the BOSS - DUAL CUBE LX. Seems to beat the ID:Cores handily. 2 4" speakers, 10-watt 80 amp types, one mic preamp type Three-band equalizer ON DIAL 27 memories (3 memories for each amp type) AC adaptor or 8xAA Phones/Rec jack with support for an inline headphones microphone Two footswitch jacks Onboard looper (requires optional footswitch)
Hi,great series review about this amp! After this time playing it sound good now or is still mehh?? I appreciate the answer, I really thinking on buying one. I it is still meh I will be forced to the katana 50
is there a way to do this along to a backing track? I have all the supplies in your video, but when I go to play the backing track on my phone, it cancels the video recording. and if i try to play the track first and then hit record, it cancels that audio and only sends the guitar audio (i am trying to just record with the iphone video app. not livestream on social media)
also how do i control the output volume for recording through the trrs? when i record a clip in my camera app and then go to watch the clip, i have to max out the volume just to barely hear it
you can send the output from the headphones/emulated speaker output but it'll mute the speaker only V1 or V2 exception is the V1 40H AFAICT from reading the manuals but you might be able to rig up some kind of headphones output on the receiving end with a splitter or mini mixer of sorts
I have this amp and I try to find the right cable, when I follow the link all cables seem to be adapters from TRRS to standard 3.5 mm. Which one do I need to connect to my android phone?
Can any one answer this question Because when you live stream you can make mistakes so can I record to a backing track audio and video save then upload to you tube
Hey.. I have the ID core V3 and I want to record videos directly via my android phone while playing the backing track playing from the phone itself. The challenge here is that as soon as I start recording, the backing track stops. How do I go about this? Please help!!
You need to keep the music app in your notification panel first...as soon as you start recording the video the backing track will stop since video recording will be recording the audio as well so you need to pull down the notification panel while recording the video and start playing the music from the notification panel hence the video will record both the audio.
@@prateeksinha6547 no problem 😀...and how do you play backing track or music through the amp? From the live streaming input? Or the cab rig & phones input?
