Got it to record electric drums with, works perfectly
Sycsa 11.04.2020
Using it to record my Roland TD-1 DMK, it works like a breeze and sounds great. Just connect it to my iPhone, shoot a video like normal and it records both the backing track and the drums. Recording covers has never been this easy.

To make this setup work, I also ordered the following:
- Y splitter, 3.5 mm Stereo male to 2x 3.5 mm stereo female, connected to drum module, one for the headphones, other one for the iRig.
- 2x double sided 3.5 mm stereo jack (one to connect Laptop with backing track to drum module, other one to connect iRig to drum module).
- adapter, 6. 35 mm jack male stereo to 3.5 mm jack female stereo (to connect the above cable to iRig).
- also make sure that all the cables are stereo. Got a mono cable in there at the beginning and the sound would only come out of one earbud.

Adding a little gain on the iRig so the sound comes out louder and upload directly from phone to YouTube. That's it.

Awesome entrance to the guitar sound
Tural Takhmazov 25.04.2023
What I really like about this product is it's simplicity and tricks you can do with it. It has own ASIO driver. You also can work with ASIO4All if you want, but I ussually stick with native driver.

Pros:
- simplicity - in-audio jack, output for headphones and guitar amp (if you want to make some noise);
- form-factor - it is really small so you can take it with you everywhere you want;
- apps for iOS and Android are simple and versatile. You can achieve different tones;
- you can use it as simple audio-card for your PC and Mac;
- Amplitube is amazing tool;
- 24 bit / 96 kHz is more than you need if you want to achieve good sound.

Cons:
- the assembly is a little weak, parts constantly shakes and sound weird, but do not affect on your guitar tone;
- has a bit latency, but it depends on the build of your PC;
- if you use it on your iPhone or iPad you need wired headphones. You cannot send audio signal through wireless headphones, only trough iRig;
- same is for PC. It can be solved by using ASIO4All, but I am not sure.

So, for it's price and quality is amazing tool for achieving unique guitar tone. I cannot recommend it enough. But if you are searching for professional tool for making amazing sound-production I believe you can find something more suitable for you.

iRig HD-2
MartenH 20.02.2020
Very simple: I could not do without it anymore. Using it with IOS and Mac devices using some of the extra software is a bit of a challenge when Apple throws out software updates. My experience is that the Amplitube on Mac and IOS works very good and the iRig HD-2 of course works with other software like Ultimate Guitar, Tonebridge and Garageband VERY well. It helps me increase my playing time a lot because it is so easy to crash on the couch, pick up a guitar and noodle along. I have no experience with other devices like this but am impressed with this one. I replaced an older model iRig with it.

Great device! High-quality sound!
brunibeats 05.07.2022
The device works very well. The sound is high-quality. I use it with my iPhone 12 pro for which a cable is included. I use it to record my dj sets via phone. This way I do not have to manually edit the video and add a separately recorded audio on top of it. This way all background noise is left out of the audio recording. Both video and audio are nicely recorded together. There is no delay between audio and video. The build quality of the device can maybe be improved, but so far no real issues with that.

Great interface for you iOs device
Coen Bijpost 26.05.2020
I’ve used interfaces from IK Multimedia since I started playing guitar on my mobile phone. I’ve had the IRig, the IRig HD and now the IRig HD2. All fabulous for their time. IK Multimedia always goes along with the newest technological advances and, to me, is the leader when it comes to mobile guitar music. Their Amplitube app is great, but this product integrates seemlessly with any music app I’ve tried it with. This new version fixes the problem with the missing headphone plug on the iphone. And it also makes it easy to go through the IRig to the amp. The preamp has been improved with much more headroom and better sound. Highly recommended even for owners of the IRig HD.

You need iRig HD-2
olesko 10.05.2023
Great tool. It can be easily hung on a guitar strap which makes it comfortable to play and walk around.
Amplitube code was correct.
Tested with guitar and bass.

Works great to connect your guitar to an iPad
redstix 14.02.2021
Great little interface from IK!
I bought the iRig HD-2 to connect my guitar to an iPad with the lightning interface and record in Garageband, while profiting from its soft-amps, as well as great free apps as Tonebridge.

It is compact and solid enough for home / on the go use. Works flawlessly out of the box and after one year of use I strongly recommend it to anyone with the same use case. It includes a USB interface too, but I haven't tried it yet with a PC/Mac.

Travel companion
mariozeppe 20.08.2020
i purchased two of this. is invaluable if you want to practice on headphones at home or when you travel around. little devive, light in weight and perfect sound quality. the option of an extra output lets you connect directly to your interface or amp and use all your amp sims on phone and tablet. just be careful of not over stressing the sochet where the mini usb cable connects. is not too sturdy and mine broke. otherwise i love it.

A worthy update
Uke Bass player 18.11.2023
I use this with garage band on iPad . This is great, but I wish it had incorporated into it the means to charge my iPad whilst using it, as I now have to buy an adapter from the Apple Store to do this, or just use it for short periods on iPad battery power, which I have so far. It is well made and built to last with no flimsy wires to break easily.
