tayste_2000 Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 Spent the weekend trying to sort out my studio rig, live I've covered but my studio setup I like to run 3 channels. Clean straight from the bass An amped/slightly gritty sound A full on distortion sound generally done from a tall font Russian muff into a tech 21 gt2 clone So I've managed to do this with the sonic port, moving forward I'm still considering an interface with more outs but I can do this setup now using audiobus and auria the multi track recorder. It's a great sound, jamup as my amp sound (or bias) and then ampkit for the super gritty tone and just drop a Di pre ipad for the clean sound, that said when recording using the ipad I can digitally split my signal as many times as I want and record clean, gritty, super distortion, synth and even pitch to midi on a soft synth on another channel. I only need the bigger interface if I wanted to output all of these. More info in the blogs which I'll get done tomorrow night at latest. So this solves anyone who requires a blended sound for their main tone, essentially digitally biamping or triamping, or hell octoamping (new word?)

Muzz Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) Really enjoying the iPad/Jamup setup for playing live, the only big issue I have is a really niggling simple one, which is - has anyone found a convenient and reliable way of securing the Sonic Port if, like me, you have your iPad on a mic stand mount? The lead isn't long enough to reach the floor, and at the moment I'm using the amp & cab as an ad hoc Sonic Port stand, but that's hardly efficient...

blamelouis Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Sounds great .. I use jamup pro for practicing with headphones using irig connector . Live I use a markbass combo if I buy the line6 connector do I just go into the usual amp in or are most people using it as an amp simulator into a cab ? Just wondering if it would be much benefit into a combo. Cheers lads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonybassplayer Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Pretty sure it has to go in to an amp ( or the amp part of a combi ) prior to a cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuss Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Having read this topic over the past few weeks, finally invested in a sonic port, and tried out Jamup at rehearsal for the 1st time last night, and have to say was very happy with the sound and relative ease of use, bearing in mind I'd had limited time to experiment with it beforehand. Have no doubt 'll be using this live at some point in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonybassplayer Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Has anyone posted their own personal favourite settings on the Jamup site ?? If so if wonder if it is possible to set up something like a "user group" to share sounds ?? Whilst it's fun to play around with the sounds it would also be good to have a group of fellow basschatters suggesting their recommendations.

Muzz Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Excellent. I'll be gigging my iPad/SonicPort/Jamup/IEMs on Saturday night, and I'm leaving the amp and cab in the van. Still looking for an elegant solution as to what to do with the SonicPort, though - the Hercules iPad holder for the mic stand is great, but there's nowhere to wedge the SonicPort, and I'm very conscious of damaging the SonicPort>iPad lead connectors - they're not exactly military grade...

Muzz Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Yeah, I can see in the pics - I might try dropping the iPad down to that height and see how I go. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr pablo Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 After reading pt6 would something like this be the ticket when using the sonic port to record the two channel set up into a PC? http://www.gak.co.uk/en/hosa-quarter-inch-trs-to-dual-quarter-inch-stp-201-1m/17043?gclid=CLKpwpKMq74CFZShtAodeGMA_g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubsonicSimpleton Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I was doing some googling to see if there was a solution to the issue of charging the ipad whilst using it, and I found a pass through adapter that has a micro usb port to allow charging, it appears to be primarily designed to solve the issues that aftermarket iphone/ipad cases can cause with accessories and docking stations, but maybe worthy of further research. http://www.amazon.co.uk/CableJive-dockStubz-Converter-Through-Adapter/dp/B003TJR2HS Just to be clear, I am not recommending this and haven't bought or tested it, just thought it might be relevant to the thread.
