The new gear is, as always, based on actual circuit diagrams of highly-sought-after, real-world products to deliver a level of authenticity that is often missing in other apps."Īgile also announced the Setup Smackdown contest, where AmpKit users can submit their setups in three categories and have a chance to win real, physical guitar and bass gear.
Ivers added, "We're committed to continuing to expanding the gear selection in AmpKit, which is the broadest available in any iOS app, with 38 individually modeled amp channels and a total of 95 components. Other additions to the AmpKit Gear Store in release 1.4 include the London Century guitar amp, Phase '72 phaser pedal, and Acoustic8 acoustic guitar simulator. Ashdown bass amps are truly iconic, and we're very excited about how great the Ashdown ABM 900 looks and sounds inside AmpKit." AmpKit 1.4 incorporates two new effects pedals and two new amplifiers, including a highly accurate, officially licensed model of the Ashdown ABM 900 EVO III bass amp and matching 8x10 cabinet.Īgile's Jack Ivers, told us "We're delighted to have Ashdown Engineering join us as an AmpKit Official Gear Partner.
#Agile ampkit update
For these types of application the combination of Music Studio/Cubasis + JamUp Pro is great and working! Can I use those recorded tracks into a professional project? Hell, no!!! But I can replay them and record them properly-at least I'll know what I had in mind then.Agile Partners has launched AmpKit 1.4, an update to the app which transforms an iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch into a guitar amp and effects studio. I recorded my guitar jam in the next JamUp's 8 track, and I still had 6 more tracks to go, if I wanted to add another instrument/s. I opened a preset for the guitar sound and started jamming together with the imported/pasted drum track. From there, I went to the JamUp's 8 track and pasted the copied file (which was an. Here's how I used it as well last night: I opened a drum track into the Cubasis, adjusted the tempo to my taste, added a compressor to beef it up, and created a "mixdown" as they call it after that I went to the "mixdowned" file and copied it. My iPad 2 will ease my life regarding composing and recording music-I can't take with me my costly recording equipment, but I can take the iPad 2 with me, and I can enjoy the portability of this thing. StormJH1, it's not about winning really: we all just share our experiences and make recommendations depending on our knowledge and preferences. It's just a nice alternative to have, and it will get even better as the hardware gets better (Positive Grid's BIAS is an example of that). You can spend less than $100 and have every quality amp/effect BOTH apps have to offer, or you can buy one pedal.
But for the rest of us, I think we're beyond the point where this stuff sounds like a "toy" - I think you can make some quality sounds with this stuff.
#Agile ampkit software
Now, if you do this for a living, or if you have the money for the real stuff, great! I wouldn't expect you to entertain modeling software on an iPad. Given the subjectivity of tone, how much better does the "real thing" have to be to justify that additonal cost? If your goal is simply to listen on headphones (or record a track) with something that sounds like you played through a Bogner or Fargen preamp.hmm, lets see, I can spend $2 for that model in an app or $3,000 for a the actual thing. There may be some limitations to that.īut if you have a good interface, I think the quality of what JamUp and AmpKit offers relative to what it costs is outstanding. That's a reasonable view, and I haven't yet tried to actually hook my iPad to an amp or PA for playing out loud.
