Review - IK Multimedia iRig HD 2

IK Multimedia have announced iRig HD 2 — the sequel to their iRig HD digital guitar interface for iPhone, iPad, Mac & PC. It features a 24 bit/96kHz conversion and is iPhone 7 ready. Check out the first review of iRig HD 2 from Eli Krantzberg. Eli shows what you get in the box, explains what all the I/O does before he puts it to work on his system using the IK Multimedia Amplitube 4 plugin. He also shows how to use the iRig HD2 with an iPad, guitar amp and into his DAW by micing the guitar cab.

easily the best overview of this product. I wanted ten or so videos even the manufacturer and this explain all I needed to know. I was going to buy an inexpensive audio interface but Ill just get this now for practicing with headphones on anywhere in the house or recording on the mac. Awesome video

Will it work without the app? I mean simply using iphone or ipad video recording feature.

Z systemem Android też jest kompatybilny czy tylko z Apple?

[hadifelani]

does the irig still works if i plug my bass first into my physical stompbox then i plug it to the irig ?

[Aesop]

i am trying to use this on my denon dj system, not a guitar-is that possible for live streaming on facebook, twitch, mixcloud, etc.? having lots of trouble trying to connect it-got a blue power signal-using an iPhone 11. i do not want to use it on my Macbook Pro, want to use cam from iPhone to livestream...any suggestions please? thanks in advance sir.

Wait so it has all the amps unlocked in Amplitube?

[fireguitar]

What DAW do you normally use for your projects? 😊 sounds nice

[Archivism]

Great video and thanks for the demonstrations.

[Majnun]

How can I use this device to record acoustic guitar?

[jerryx]

Does the iRig HD 2 have a better sound than the original iRig? I don't care about the extra options.

[ReynaldoIvanPena]

How can I use my Shure SM7B going into my Apollo twin MK2 quad core for Xbox live party chats and Twitch/Facebook streams? Will a simple trs from Apollo to aux cable into Xbox controller do?

Thanks for the very professional review. I need it for recording into an iPhone 8+. This phone just has the lightning Jack, not a headphone Jack. Do you think it is compatible, and if so, is it still the best option?

[dezfyah]

Is this only for guitars and Apple devices? I didn't see you mention any other things its used for. Just trying to better understand, sorry for my ignorance.

[CliveWebbAustralia]

Can you please tell me if the power on the iPad reduces while using the iRig or is power being fed in via lightening port. Thank you...
