Hey y'all, I got a IK iRig HD 2 for Xmas (primarily with the intention of connecting my iphone to my collection on guitar pedals and making a racket with Animoog) and it got me wondering: the previous iOS Music Production thread (https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3364734) has been dead for a year and a half now, so is there anything new and exciting under the sun for making music with overpriced Apple devices? Content: I've only messed around with it once, but so far the iRig HD 2 is definitely living up to my hopes. I don't really intend to do much playing of guitar through the device as I already own a couple of good amps, but poo poo, it comes with full-featured Amplitude for your desktop and a host of other software so it's tough to imagine anyone coming out behind with this thing. I could do with a metal housing but it does exactly what I needed: plugs into the lightning port of my sadly 1/8" audio-free iPhone 8+ and sends an instrument-level signal out, either to an amp or a direct in. No weird hum, no impedance mismatch, no other weird nonsense. Probably will inevitably end up obsoleted out someday when Apple changes their connectors yet again for no drat reason or whatever, but for the under $100 bucks it runs I'm sure I'll get my worth out of it before that time comes. (poo poo, I still have my AKAI keyboard with the old 22-pin connector, if anything that's even more useful now that you can pick up ancient iPad 2s on ebay for $60.)

Evidently the answer to the titular question is ‘not so much at SA anyway’ so if someone knows where people are still discussing this topic, let me know.

SuperiorToaster posted:I take advantage of a slightly hidden feature in the iOS camera app which automatically uses audio inputs 1/2 from an external lightning connected device to override the built in microphone. This is useful information I did not previously know, much appreciated.

I don’t know the specifics of the apps you’re talking about but in general an audio routing app like Audiobus can be used to connect one app to another within iOS. I haven’t done it extensively but it’s always worked well for me when I’ve used it.
