AmpliTube Acoustic—it rocks (in a cool unplugged kind of way)

Scarebear — Tue, 17 Nov 2015 05:04:34 +0000

It’s been a while since I got stuck into the awesomeness that is iOS guitar playing and recording. Truth be told, it’s been a while since I did anything decent that was guitar related. I perhaps needed something to rekindle my interest. Luckily and coincidentally, IK Multimedia recently released AmpliTube Acoustic and a new interface called […]

iRig PRO—now I can mic an amp with iOS!

Scarebear — Sun, 20 Apr 2014 00:40:52 +0000

Last year I wrote about the release of the iRig PRO. Recently I was lucky enough to add this interface to my personal collection of all-things-cool and I have to say I’m loving it. I would have written about it earlier, but every time I finish playing with the iRig PRO IK Multimedia goes and […]

iLine—seriously cool cables

Scarebear — Tue, 25 Mar 2014 01:43:05 +0000

I love cables. I have two large boxes filled with the cables I’ve collected over the years. These cables range from those used to connect DVD players to televisions, stereos to speakers, line splitters and cables for devices that connected to computers. Why do I have so many cables? One answer is that I’m a […]

Scarebear — Tue, 11 Mar 2014 02:12:49 +0000

Did you know there is a Pro Tone Pedals Winter Riff Wreckage contest going on right now? Well, there is. I know because I decided to enter (plus I like to keep up to date with all-things Pro Tone Pedals on account of my awesome Skumstortion pedal). Anyhow, you’re probably wondering how terrible my entry […]

iRig HD—Crystal clear tones for iOS guitar players

Scarebear — Sun, 09 Feb 2014 03:03:13 +0000

Recently I was lucky enough to win a copy of the iRig HD interface. I’ve been following IK Multimedia around the social networks long enough to know that this interface claimed to be the cleanest connection you’re likely to come across as you connect your guitar to your iOS device. I’m very skeptical normally and […]

Yay! I’ve had a win!

Scarebear — Thu, 09 Jan 2014 02:46:38 +0000

Late last year I entered the StompBox competition with this video entry. Today I discovered I’d won the competition thanks to this handy tweet by the team at 4PocketsAudio. Yay me! I am very keen to get my hands on the Aurora Sound Studio HD app and the iRig HD interface by IK Multimedia. There are […]

UltraTuner by IKMultimedia

Scarebear — Wed, 01 Jan 2014 04:59:17 +0000

I was recently lucky enough to acquire the new UltraTuner app by IKMultimedia. There are plenty of iOS tuning apps out there, but this app allows you to tune your instrument in a few different ways—that alone is unique. Not only that, but you can adjust the app to suit your instrument and your surroundings. […]

IK Multimedia release the iRig PRO

Scarebear — Thu, 05 Sep 2013 08:09:51 +0000

There are a few different interfaces for the guitar and iPad. I’ve reviewed the interfaces I’m lucky enough to already own. Today IK Multimedia released what looks like the interface to beat all interfaces—the iRig PRO. The iRig PRO connects to your iPhone, iPad or Mac using one of three connector cables—Lightning, 30-pin or USB. […]

AmpliToon … My AmpliTube ‘How to’ graphic novel

Scarebear — Mon, 02 Sep 2013 08:04:44 +0000

I love graphic novels. I’ve always found them to be one of the greatest story telling mechanisms available to man. I also happen to love playing guitar through my iPad. I’ve found the iPad to be an incredible tool for people such as me, to improve their skillset and experiment with tone, recording, sharing and […]

Lick of the Day collaboration

Scarebear — Sun, 18 Aug 2013 07:48:18 +0000

A few days ago I posted a very quick riff I’d called From Go to Woah! that I’d created using IK Multimedia’s AmpliTube on the iPad. Not long after posting that riff to SoundCloud Dave from the Lick of the Day website asked if he could record a solo over it. I said “Sure” and sent […]

Recording in the AmpliTube MultiTrack Recorder on an iPhone

Scarebear — Sun, 24 Jun 2012 20:23:30 +0000

A few things have changed since I wrote my last article about AmpliTube on the iPhone. Enhancements have been made, new features have been added and the awesome new Slash range of effects and amps has been released. I purchased the pack within my instance of AmpliTube and haven’t looked back since. The tone is […]

Recording the guitar with an iPhone

Scarebear — Fri, 20 May 2011 11:02:00 +0000

A while ago I posted this article on my custom-built and twice-hacked website. I put a lot of effort into the website and a decent amount of work into the article. It seemed logical to me to keep at least one of them. So, with minor edits that make the content relevant to this new […]
