AK Multimedia released an update for the Amplitube app over the weekend, so it now has a built in 4 track recorder. OK, so I had to pay another £5.99 for it, which sucked, but it actually looks quite good.
After brief stages of initial testing last night, I can say that latency appears to have been completely eliminated, unlike any of the other multi track recorders I’ve tried on the iPhone. This is a big plus for Amplitube.
One issue so far (admittedly I may be doing it wrong…) is that the app appears to apply your effects to the output of the four track recorder, rather than recording the effects that you applied to each individual track. Like I said, I might be doing it wrong and I need to have another little play. If this is the case though, it’s understandably a bit of a pain in the nuts. Who wants to listen to four tracks of guitar, all with huge amounts of distortion? Not me! Or at least not most of the time.
If I can make this work to an acceptable degree, I’ll be in a position to start my new top-secret project. Watch this space.
