Really well explained! Thanks, it made me reconsider this little unit that I bought several years ago but never really used
I've owned the HD2 for years and it was my 2nd iRig - and in this whole time, this is the best explanation of how the thing works I've ever seen. IK should hire you to make instructional videos for all their products! Great work.
Couldn't agree more!
I just ordered my iRig HD 2 today! Learned a lot from this video. Can't wait to get my hands on it. Thanks a lot!
How is it
@@Aesop101 I had to play with it for a bit until I got the hang of it. It sounds great!!
Glad I could help!
@@jmppppp my friend tell me please is work with mixer same irig2 ? I can make phone calls or snapchat ?
i didn’t know i could use it for keyboards, that’s so cool !!! thanks for the video, it’s very helpful ! ☆
Thank you so much! The iRig HD 2 video was informative.
Thanks for watching
This channel is underrated
Sweeeet!!! Outstanding Tutorial, Thank you... 30 yrs of guitar playing and I can't fuckin' hook up my guitar to my computer. Now, I have all the components. Newest Macbook Pro instead of I-Pad... Oh Yeah, Sweeeet!!!
Hi, you did a fantastic job of explaining the product. This is something that I’m looking forward to learn more about and work with, I play acoustic guitar for two churches.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks a lot, very helpful
I’m a massive fan of iRig HD 2. Also, AmpliTube iOS is very much my bread and butter when it comes to my tones nowadays. Especially the SJ50 Amp. It’s basically a model of Joe Satriani’s 1st gen Peavey 5150 that he got when it first came out. That thing is an absolute beast. It does everything I want it to, and not just the. chugga-chuggas.
technology... so sweet! good vid man
Thanks for watching!!
Great job !
I don't know how or what you are using for recording the audio for this video but man this is the clearest audio that in on UA-cam. I have an HD2 that I am going to hook up today while
I am playing at McDonald's on Music Valley Drive in Nashville, TN Thanks for making a great video.
thanks for watching!! Have a great time playing and stay safe out there!! Also, I'm using a Lavalier mic into my iPhone while recording
I have all these devices but they were packed in a pedal's box with no use at all as I never figured out how to use both of the ik and I rig
Thank you so much 👍
I appreciate you taking time out of your day to watch this @heliolalgy9947
Thanks brother!!!
Thank you very much for your demonstration, I am planning to use a Yamaha tyros 4 keyboard, hope it will work for me.
Thanks for the videos I’m having problems listening to my recordings on my head phones like on monitor
Ive been looking for a cheap and good interface for a while now and this is what I’m probably gonna get
yeah i just got oneee, can’t wait to try it out
It’s complete shit. Returned it
@@alanwolf5632 why?
@@jake-ir1tc the sound quality is horrible with an electroacoustic Guitar (Taylor 214ce). Absolutely horrible.
@@alanwolf5632 what about electric guitars? Any good with passive pick ups?
Good review, have looked at getting one for a while and found a good price. Cant wait to finally make some decent recordings. My bands mates have been giving me shit about my potato recordings....its just a demo guys!
lol, right on
SICK!!!!
Thank you!
Nice!
Thank you 🇦🇺
Thanks 🎉
You're welcome 😊
thanks
How would I run this through a mixer with a Mac laptop? Great video!
Do these work with IPad Air 4? I’m trying to decide if I need one of these lol. Already have a decent studio setup with Logic and a lot of gear. Just wondering what the selling point for me would be. And can you only use through headphones?
Hi thanks for the video instruktion about irig HD 2it’s clear.
Is irig HD 2 compatible with Mac with M1 chip?
How Does irig HD 2 sounds through an acoustic guitar?
I only bought the iRig HD2 to record the sound of my electronic drum kit (Roland TD11) with the iPhone camera. I haven’t hooked it up to the drums yet but looking forward in seeing if it will work.
so how was it did it work?
Strange music 😎
super late here, but looking for that dongle that will actually work. yours said not charging when playing your mixed version. 2 years later, are you using the same one or did you notice issues with that one? thx
Hi again, this is great. I just got the iRIG HD 2 and I love it. I have a question, sorry for the many questions, but I just bought the iLoud Micro Montitor speakers. I don't know if you have ever used those particular speakers but on those speakers they input port in the back. There is no auxiliary port. Can I connect a cable from the headphone port of the iRig HD2 to back of the iLoud Monitors? I am running the guitar simiulation software TH3, Amplitube 5 and Tonex. On my ipad 10 there is no lightening cable, just the USB C. Is there a Camera port for the ipad 10 similar to yours? Thank you.
i would connect a cable from the "amp" output 1/4" jack on the bottom of the irig to the 3.5mm jack on the back of the iLoud monitors. that a line level signal
Hello, thank you so much for this demo. Do you prefer irig 2 or the tc helicon go guitar?
great question. I like the Go Guitar for the included Guitar Rack app and the extra cables that come with it. I like the iRig HD 2 for the sound, it seems a little more natural, but they are both very very close!
@@DarkRoastRecording Ok, I would go for the IrigHD2 just for the more natural sound. Thank you for the reply!
Hi, Hve you ever tried irig pro IO? Which one do you think sounds better? Thank you
Ok I'm trying to hook up a iPad 8 to a line 6 spider valve mk2 hd 100 to a hx stomp to a mixer and audio monitors, to the iRig2 , good luck to me lol , and not in that order btw, great video
Right on! Giver
Great demo! Do you know if this works with Positive Rig's BIAS FX 2?
it does work with Bias FX, for sure. Thx for watching!!
@DarkRoastRecording I bought an audio interface from Positive Grid called the Riff. I plan on returning it. I Wasn't happy with the sound. Thank you for responding.
really good explained. I have that irig and want to get from maschine mk3 line out to straight iphone so it bypass iphone mic when making video with iphone. Is that possible too? There is lightning cord with irig so dont need any adapter right. Need stereo plug from irig to iphone, right?
Should work just the same way as any instrument. Just send the output from maschine to the irig instrument input and should be good to go
Hello nice tutorial. What exact splitter do you have there so you can use the Irig HD 2 and be able to charge IPad? I got one off Amazon but I apparently did not get the correct one because it doesn’t work. Thanks
Thanks for watching! This is the one that I used on the video here. amzn.to/3pHGMja.
Also, if that doesn't work, send it back to amazon and get the Apple official one. Sometimes different iOS devices will be ok with the 3rd party ones and sometimes not.
Thank you ordered it today. Appreciate your help.
@@DarkRoastRecording and also need a usb A to A cable?
Hi great video, sorry to ask a stupid question but, can you play along with songs with iTunes and hear all through the headphones?
Hey, thx for watching. No you cannot do that because you can only have one app controlling the audio processing at any time. same reason you cant listen to music while shooting a video with the camera basically. This is why companies like Positive Grid have apps and amps like Spark, allowing teh Spark app to integrate with spotify and youtube to play music while you play along in the app.
Hi mate, can I record electric drums through it as well? Thanks for the awesome content brother
You could, but the drums will only cme through as a Mono signal, you won't get stereo seperation which makes a great full sound. So, yes, its doable, but not ideal. You could get an iRig 2 in like the iRig Stream for that, would solve the issue for stereo recording drums. Also, any 2 in 2 out usb interface will work, and probably have better usability with computers as well if you go between ipad and computers for recording and mixing. just saying, for the money to record drums, I would get a focusrite 2i2 or a Bandlab Link Digital 2 input. or even a Behringer UMC
Awesome video , where did you get that rug ?
Thanks for watching! Got the rug in Facebook marketplace i believe. Seemed to work for my atmosphere in there
am i able to connect a guitar multi effects pedal to garageband thru the irig ?
Thanks for the help. I just purchased this little gadget. When I tried playback I had to disconnect the line connection to the Ipad before I could hear it. Wondering why this should happen
depends how you were listening to it. in Garageband, you need to set the tracks as monitoring turned on, while recording. If you are playing back the whole track, you should be using the iRig and connecting your headphones to the iRig, not the ipad
Hi, I just saw your very helpful video. I just bought the Irig HD 2 to use it for practise purposes but I am a little bit disappointed. A noticeable latency on my iPhone 13 Pro Max. On my MacBook Pro using a budget interface (Behringer 404 hD) my guitars play without any latency both through Logic Pro with amplitudbe 5 or with the standalone Amplitude 5. I have connected Irig hd 2 to my Mac and it doesn’t have any latency. The quality of the sound also (using the same headphones) is not so great as through my Behringer. I thing the settings are correct (there are not a lot anyway)
I’m searching a ton of reviews to see if I can use this for my Keyboard (microkorg xl)……. You mentioned keyboards for a second. I’ve been advised to get a focusrite interface (which is more moola)
Usb interfaces will almost always be better then the mobile ones, if you plan on using a computer with garageband, get the focusrite
what settings do you use in garageband and on the irig to get such a clear clean tone? whenever i export my audio on garageband to imovie it becomes distorted and unclear
Thanks for watching! I just keep the gain down mostly, if the gain is up it will add distortion and saturation. Maybe that could help?
What headphones do you recomend
Can u record the guitar using ur own rig pedals and connect it to iRig and record it on Garageband? Or in order to use iRig we need to use the amps and pedals that they provided?
Yes you can. Irig take the final signal your are sending to it, so if your guitar is processed by some pedals, if you send the output of your last pedals to Irig you will record that
Hey do you have a similar video for the iRig HD X? It has a bit different interface but I know it does essentially the same things. I had an original iRig 2 but my iOS devices passed it by...
Отлично! Осталось только научиться играть на гитаре.
Would you recommend this one or the iRig HD X or iRig USB?
Great review. Do you know if it works with Android? Thanks
It does, there will be a little latency though depending on the device you have. Samsung and Google Pixel devices are good.
Ok, so if you want to play covers and record yourself doing so, how does that work? I’m having a hell of a time lowering the song volume to hear the bass I have plugged in. It doesn’t stay the volume I choose when I switch to manage volume on my instrument.
thank you, very useful video. What do I need please to use this with the keyboard, performing live using the iPhone. Please name the items I need thank you so much.
All you need is the same stuff but connect your keyboard output instead of the guitar. Works the same way
@@DarkRoastRecording Thank you so much !
can you use this setup then connect to a big speaker as if its a guitar amp?
For sure you can,? Just run a patch cable from the amp output jack on the irig hd 2 to your pa system. It’s a mono signal.
How to get sound on the tube amplifier (high-end stereo audio device not guitar amp) with speakers? I assume the amp out on iRig can be connected via a jack to 2x RCA cable?
sure thing, just connect a TRSS cable to Amp Output on iRig HD2 and to the amp. the signal will be a line signal, so you may need to adjust the volume on the amp accordingly
I do not like dark roast coffee. However, your review is very useful! Thx! 🤘
No worries man, perhaps a tea then? Seriously though, thanks for watching!!
Hello, I hope you can help. I bought my Ibanez Azes 40 guitar the other day and I also bought Irig HD2 along with the guitar. I have an iPad 10, I have all my cables and everything, but it does not appear in the monitor section in the Garage band application. At first, I was trying to turn it on using the amplitube application, but I was getting a terrible, disgusting noise. Now I can't hear any sound Also, the lights of the irig HD2 were never orange or anything like that. What do you think may be causing the problem?
Does Tru/fx work in headphone output as well ? 😅
Do you know if this could be used for recording line out signals from another interface? Say I have an audio interface with a bunch of mics, guitars where I mix everything and send them all to an line output, can that output go into this and be used for recording onto another computer?
I'm guessing it probablyy could, but you would be degrading the audio signal due to it being processed twice from analog signal to digital. Also, because its a line output signal, the iRig would need to be turned top a bit more gain going into the 2nd computer, again, that will not sound great. if its just for demos, go 4 it
Do you need the camera connector kit is that essential for playing guitar through the iPhone?
Not if you are using the iRig HD2 with a lightning cable, but if you are using the USB cable it ships with, you would need the usb camera connector.
for a beginner coming from acoustic to electric, would the irig2 (non hd) be enough to practice plugged in to an iphone with garageband? Also can you output the monitor sound to a bluetooth speaker connected to your iphone instead of using the headphone jack on the interface?
Thanks, great channel!
its a great practice tool for sure, nice and small. You would not be able to send the audio to bluetooth though, the iRig controls the audio processor and doesn't have built in bluetooth. you would need to connect the headphones or amp output or both to hear the guitar.
@@DarkRoastRecording hi there, I don't know if you added effects to make it sound like that or if it's an audio issue, but I find it like pretty low quality, is that how the final production with the irig will sound? Do you recommend it now in 2022 😂
I'm an amateur and wanted to record something cool to make some videos of me playing to keep a record of my progress but I want a good enough audio
@@yisus2056Did you get it? Your comment is 1 year old, so I was wondering. I agree - it sounds pretty bad here, but it's not iRig's fault. I use AmpliTube and the sound is way better.
@@xanperia I haven't got it, but thanks for the info. When I said iRig I mean the device you use to plug in the guitar to the PC. Do you use Guitar > iRig > PC > AmpliTube?
Is there anyway whilst being plugged into GarageBand or AmpliTube via IRig2 to then use another app (UA-cam, Solo etc) at the same time? I.e whenever I minimise the screen on iPad it instantly cuts off the sound through Aplitube with headphones plugged in. Seems to be a major flaw of GarageBand/AmpliTube!
I wonder if this can plug into my Akia MPC One
absolutely it can, just plug it into a usb port on the back and add it as an input source, OR you can plug it into an iPhone/ipad to get the tones you want and send that processed signal into a line input on the MPC one from the AMP output on the irig HD2
I'm guessing by the way you were using this, that it has zero or very low latency ?
Hi there. I was just wondering whether it would take my amplifier eq and distortion into the recording when the amp and irig were connected
It could if you send the effect signal into the iron instead of the guitar first to the iRig, you would either mic up a dynamic mic or if your amp has a direct output that sends the full processed signal.
Been trying to hear my guitar through an iPad's speaker (via Garageband and iRig HD 2) but can only hear it if I plug headphones into the iRig. Is it possible to have the audio output as the iPad speakers? Thanks
You’d have to see if there are output settings for sound on your iPad. That’s how you do it on the MacBook so if there’s an option, that’s how
its not possible to use the headphone jack same time as the rig. need to use the headphone jack on the rig only for guitar audio
how do i record myself while i play and make it so you can hear it on video like you did
Good day, sir does irig2 fits with yamaha dd75 edrum? Thanks 🙏
it would, but you'll only get a Mono signal to record since it is a mono input meant for guitar
Sorry if this is a silly or obvious question but can you use this device to record on to a track provided by somebody else?
Thanks for watching! You wouldn’t be able to record over top but you could load up their track into garageband and add another track for you to record into. Once that’s done you share the track to wave or mp3 and that will combine all tracks into a single audio track. Mixing down to a stereo file. You adjust the levels of each track with the volume fades to the left of each track before mixing it down to file.
@@DarkRoastRecording , thank you for the great advice. I’m quite a novice to home recording and have only recently acquired an IRig HD2 so that advice is very much appreciated.
does this only work with supported apps? or is it like android where it treats it as a digital mic/playback device for ANY app?
It will work on any app as its just a USB compliant audio device. Any audio app on iOS should see it as an input device. I've used it on Deplike, Tonebridge, BiasFX and GB as well. Thanks for watching!
@@DarkRoastRecording you never know with apple these days, thanks for the info
Can you record voice and instrument at the same time on your iPhone with this device?
No you cannot. Thx for watching and for the question!
Does anyone know if i can connect the line out on my amp to the input on this?
Is there a place I can learn from scratch. I have iPhonex & Irig Hd 2 + amplitube (Slash Ed) and still don’t know all the hell im doing.
On Amazon, many people comment that it doesn’t work with iPad Pro. Is it true? Thanks! Excellent video!
Ive used this with the 2017 iPad Pro and it worked perfectly. Ive also used it with an iPad 2022 base model no issues. It comes down to the type of usb to lightning or usb-c adapter, it should be an Apple adapter, not a knock-off from amazon or wherever.
Can you use iRig HD2 with Beatmaker 3 too?
Thanks for watching! I havent tried it myself, but I'm sure you could no problem.
So can I come out of my amp with my pedal tones and everything into my iPad with this? I love my tone w my pedals and stack and want that recorded into GarageBand
To get the tone from your pedal chain AND amp, you’ll need a DI output or single output from your amp after the power amp (not a Send). The only way to capture the tone of the cabinet speaker though would be with a microphone, and the iRig HD 2 isn’t really designed for mic’s.
therefore, If you want to capture the tone you are hearing from your amp, best would be to mic it and use a USB audio interface like the Arthurian MiniFuse, or Scarlett 2i2 or Solo into GarageBand.
To use the iRig HD 2, connect your guitars to your pedal chain, then go into the irig from the pedals and record that onto an “Amp track”. Play with the different amps to find one you like the most, while sending a cable from the iRig HD2 “amp output” to your Amp input to hear it back into your amp. Switch the toggle on the iRig to “Thru”.
Again the best way to get the True Tone from your chain would be to use a USB interface rather than the iRig HD 2.
Hi thanks for review! Sound of my bass is always much lower than what I stream from Deezer, no way to fix it any idea please?
Only way is to ensure that the gain on your rig is turned up, but not clipping in the red, then adjust the output of the deeper app on the iPad, should be able to get them closer anyway. Give it a shot :)
Can’t get it to work in garage band how do you turn it on in garage band?
Hi can you switch effects using iRig HD2? is there like a way to have a pedal? thank you
there are iRig pedals that work over Midi, but they aren't connected to the IRig HD 2 rather they are connecting to the app controlling the guitar amps
Love your iRig Videos
I play bass; you have proven iRig will send bass to Garage Band on iPhone . For recording ideas along with Garage Band this is great .
Also what I want to do is record my bass alongside tunes or snippets of tunes let us say from a source such as Pandora or what have you.
Can I record “Pandora” on a track and record my bass on another?
Importantly I want to SEND my ideas to music friends : Bass into iRig: Garage Band: save /Send via iPhone. Is this possible? Thanks in advance !
You can do all that, as far as I know! Sorry no one answered you faster!
so ima hook yall up ....... dwnload tonebridge .... run tonebridge thru garageband ..... set
I’m using the irig hd2 w/ GarageBand iPad. How do you get rid of the feed back that happens when you’re not playing? It’s bothersome. Yes I’m using a high gain metal amp.
you'll need to use some sort of Noisegate plugin in the fx chain. If you have a real one, connect your guitar to that first, then from the gate pedal into the iRig,
Is this will work fine with not preamp piezo pickup, I tried the Irig 2 and the signal from my acoustic guitar is not enough when listening from Garage Band? Thank you. Do you suggest something else?
I have found that the usb interfaces such as the irig HD2 and the bandlab digital link offer more gain, those may help. Also, maybe switching to a small mixer with built in preamps like a Behringer xenyx 502 usb may be a good choice. It’s still a USB stereo interface with more inputs available and built in preamps to increase your gain and volume
@@DarkRoastRecordingThank you for the answer, I bought the HD2 and it works very well for my passive pick, do you have an EQ profile to suggest me on GarageBand to get natural sound?
The ubiquitous PRS
Hi! How about recording video eith smartphone camera? Is it possible? If not, explain please How did you recorded this video?
Thanks for watching, the footage showing GarageBand on the iPad during the recording of guitars is using the built in iOS screen recording.
is it possible to plug that into a bluetooth speaker though? with a quarter inch to a 3.5 mm aux adapter? really hate the cheap iRig I bought, so I thought this would be much better
you could send the headphone output to a speaker provided the speaker has an Aux/Line input jack.
What happened to the IRiG hd 1,I had one and can't find where to buy anymore,The IRiG hd1 had a lightning connection..
you'll likely only find it used somewhere these days.
Is Irig 2/Irig HD able to amplify signal from Pick Up/condenser mic which need phantom power?
Thx for watching! No it cannot provide phantom power
When playing a guitar via the iRig HD 2 into Garageband on an iPad can you hear the sound via the iPad’s internal speakers OR do you need to use headphones or external speakers connected to the iRig HD 2?
you need to use the audio from the irig, through the headphone output or amp output 1/4 to a speaker
Is it possible to hear the processed signal trough the headphone jack while playing?
not on the iPad or phone no, because the device can't send 2 audio signals to separate outputs at once, so you need to use the iRig headphone output.
Hello I tried to connect irig with ipad but i get no signal from ipad. Do you have any idea why it is not working? I connect it same way.
Hey there, thx for watching. Can you describe in detail how you have it connected and what app you are using?
Does the device work with iPad Pro 11 2020?
With the proper usb cable, yes it will
I am using an IPad 10
Hello everyone, does anyone know if iRig HD 2 works with Ipad Air 5 M1??? I want to buy one but I don't know if it works and if the Apple USB C to USB adapter is enough. Thank you so much...
And how can I use it ?
Can you just play into the Iphone and listen via your ear buds wireless?
Thanks for watching, you can't do that because the audio driver is being used by the iRig.
Can you record your voice through the audio interface ?
You could but it’s not designed for that, and you’d have to use a dynamic mic that doesn’t require 48v phantom power
When i play my guitar with it on garageband on ipad theres a delay in the app like i play a chord on my guitar then 2 sec later it comes in garageband how do i change that?
what kind of iPad is it (gen 2, 3, 4?)
does this work with bias fx 2 app.
Yes 100%
