Amplitube Acoustica Guitar Pickup and App

INTRODUCING AMPLITUBE ACOUSTIC: THE FIRST COMPLETE MOBILE ACOUSTIC TONE STUDIO

THE NUMBER ONE TONE STUDIO HAS GONE ACOUSTIC. CONNECT YOUR GUITAR, UKULELE OR OTHER INSTRUMENT TO YOUR PHONE WITH iRIG ACOUSTIC AND PROCESS WITH 3 AMPLIFIERS AND 6 STOMPS SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR ACOUSTIC INSTRUMENTS.

AmpliTube Acoustic is a complete mobile tone studio for acoustic instrument recording and processing. Powered by AmpliTube technology, it lets you practice, play and record with a collection of acoustic-centric virtual gear that offers world-class tone and sonic sculpting flexibility anytime and everywhere.

Build your own custom rig with up to 6 stompbox FX and 3 amps. You can even drag and drop your stomps to sit before or after your amplifier (4 slots pre and 2 slots post).

Designed for use with IK’s iRig Acoustic mobile acoustic instrument interface, it provides plug-and-play sound thanks to its built-in calibration system that sculpts iRig Acoustic’s EQ response to suit your particular acoustic guitar. With the two combined, you can get studio-grade condenser microphone sound from an interface that slips easily into your pocket.

AmpliTube Acoustic gives you 6 creative stompbox effects and 3 amazing amps that are all tailored for acoustic instruments. Turn your acoustic into a jangling 12 string with the “12 String” simulator, add some low-end with the “Bass Maker” or even change your guitar’s body from big to small (or vice versa) with the “Body Modeler.” Feed your signal through solid state or tube amps and graphic EQs to get just the sound you want. Use the “Feed Kill,” a special stomp, to have the app eliminate feedback for you through smart frequency filtering.

AmpliTube Acoustic Screen

You’ll be absolutely floored by the sound quality. AmpliTube Acoustic uses the same tone technology as the acclaimed AmpliTube 4 Custom Shop for OS X and PC. You’ll hear the difference and understand why AmpliTube is an essential for so many professional musicians and recording studios.

Like to loop? Now you can get creative with loops in AmpliTube via its new Super Looper. It makes it easy to record, play back, adjust levels and play along with up to 4 loops. Looper is controllable via MIDI or iRig BlueBoard. Looper feature is available for in-app purchase.

Need a drummer? Use the built-in Loop Drummer system to jam to killer drum tracks. Make your own rhythmic patterns or let it create some inspiring drums for you. Get more loops via in-app Style Packs.

Use AmpliTube’s streamlined built-in 8-track recorder and DAW-style studio (available via in-app purchase) sections to record, edit and tweak and share your compositions via SoundCloud, FTP, file sharing or email.

Now you can use the power of AmpliTube with your favorite acoustic instruments.

Make Trap beats with an iPad and Praxis Beats

Make Trap beats with Praxis Beats

App Attack Ep 003 – Making a Trap beat with an iPad and Praxis Beats app.

The following video demonstrates how to make a Trap beat with 32nd and 64th note snare rolls and high hat patterns the using Praxis Beats app. As always you can download the free Trap beats, loops, kits, and samples from the video here.

One of the key components to a proper Trap beat is the use of 32nd and 64th note snare rolls and high hat patterns. Most of the Trap tutorials for iPad fail to mention this. In this video I show you how to quickly produce those types of patterns using an app called Praxis Beats.

The one thing this app is really good at is producing total sonic mayhem. This can be useful when working on glitch beats and rhythms.

Version 2 effects automation as you can see is quite nice with two global x/y pads. Global effects include reverb, delay, distortion, speed, filters, volume and pan.

Praxis Beats does not come with tons of sounds and patterns but in version 2 there is an in app option to unlock 2500 samples for free if you choose to.

Randomize is a great feature. Randomly generate an entire pattern and solo samples to find the sweet spot OR take the whole thing in and tweak it from there.

Now let’s get on with the Trap beat. I’ve created a custom Trap kit which you can download for free of course as well as a simple Trap pattern.

Now then, I’ve seen a few how to Trap videos for iPad on Youtube and all of them fail to use 32nd and 64th note patterns which I find disappointing as this is a major characteristic of Trap music, specifically when programming high hat patterns. Praxis Beats makes programming 32nd note patterns a breeze but what truly makes it special is the fact that you can work with up to 128th note performances. This is huge. I can’t think of another app that can drop 128th notes down with one press of a button. Can you? Comment below. Now let’s add some pitch alterations to each of those micro patterns. Here you can edit volume, pitch (speed), and panning for each note. You get control over volume, panning, and speed (in this case pitch) per note down to the 128th note.

I can create a bassline by changing the pitch of the sub bass notes as well.

See how simple it is to create variations and changes for your grooves? Now let’s mess it all up!

Thanks for watching. This is Dj Puzzle your host and as usual you can down the samples, kit, and loops from this video in the Youtube description. Please subscribe for more.
