Stefanogregori Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Hi all, I've been looking at the Irig and thinking it's nothing more than a glorified headphone splitter. Am I wrong?? Has anyone used a headphone splitter to use the apps on iOS/Android? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I kinda agree. It works but there's definitely better. A current favourite here on BC is the rather cool Line 6 Sonic Port that connects to the lightning / 30 pin socket for IOS users. Apogee Jam is very cool and apparently iRig's own HD interface works well though I've never tried it. For apps, I'm all over Positive Grid. They can't do a thing wrong from desktop apps to mobile devices. Jam Up Pro is great as is BIAS which allows you to create your own custom amplifiers should you fancy it. I do and tend to do so when I'm recording on my Mac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 The original iRig is pretty much just a fancy splitter, the iRig HD though has proper digital converters inside. The Sonic Port is great, only downsides are no input gain and no way to charge the device during use - both of which are possible with the new iRig HD2 by the way, which is where I would be looking. Not a big fan of Positive Grid stuff though, too many annoying bugs such as pedals that just plain don't work (the Mutron!), knobs/switches that do nothing or work the wrong way round, etc. The amp models in Tonestack and Garageband sound better to me by far.
