Recording setups using an ipad or something smaller.

In all of the gas fury, my current goal is to have a recording setup that is easy and portable. That is after I get 20 more pedals and another bass .....and another guitar that I want........ ;)

I would love something that is self contained, I have a 1st gen ipad and I have seen mention of people using such things too record. I would love too be able to record something and upload it too a laptop or something similar. 4 tracks ? I have no clue where too begin.

Probably should get a new microphone too :lol:

I used an iPad and an iRig adapter for all of the demos on my site. I think there are a couple I did with an iPhone as well. All into GarageBand for iOS. And I think it allows up to 8 tracks. :joy:

do you go straight from I rig ---pedal--- guitar or do you have it routed too a microphone of some sorts?

I went Guitar>Pedalboard>iRig>iPad/iPhone on all of them.

Some of the amp models in GarageBand are finicky about overdrive and fuzz pedals, but the Vox and Fender models are generally safe bets.

I think I used the AC30 model on most of the demos, but I know there's some with the Twin Reverb and Princeton models too. You can get the Marshall models to do ok as well, but it takes more tweaking to get it to sound right.

Im going down this route too. Seen mixed reports on the irig itself. Thoughts?
