IK Multimedia iRig Acoustic Stage Guitar, Black

Product Information

IK Multimedia’s latest gizmo aims to give you a studio-quality guitar sound on stage with the minimum of hassle. With iRig Acoustic Stage, you no longer have to sacrifice great acoustic tone when playing live. iRig Acoustic Stage gives you the best of both worlds — the beautiful, rich sound of your acoustic guitar as if it were mic’d up in the studio AND the freedom to move around without compromising your sound. Sound impossible? Read on… As a result IK multimedia is able to offer the IRig with a very competitive price and a lot of features.

On this image, the cantilever in the middle is able to move as the membrane/diaphragm of a condenser microphone. As you can see the cantilever has comb fingers branches that are interleaved with other fingers. For this tutorial I'll show you how to easily record your acoustic guitar into GarageBand, without the need for a complex software suite and without having to worry about most of the issues we previously mentioned.Requires expensive tools to achieve best performance (high quality microphones, high quality preamps)

It's a small MEMS accelerometer IC that tells the tablet when it is hold in "portrait" or "landscape" position. The same accelereometer will sens vibration if you shake it... as for example in the Nintendo Nunchuk when paying Raving Rabbids... And the same can be used in Irig to sens the vibration of a guitar top. After hearing the results from each, you can definitely hear a distinct difference in each recording. In my opinion, the guitar output from the acoustic guitar sounds like absolute garbage. It’s way too “tingy” and there is no lower presence. There’s also a lot of rumble (especially when strumming). The iRig Acoustic Stage works by clipping a small, specialized microphone to the sound port of your acoustic guitar. It will also work with any other instrument that has a sound port like a classical guitar, acoustic bass, ukulele, etc. Note: Do NOT enable the 'Hardware Buffer' under Options in the ASIO4ALL panel, as this causes poor performance. Battery Life: approximatively 12 hours of continuous usage with alkaline batteries and 15 hours with rechargeable high quality Ni-MH AA cells (2000 mAh and up)Cheap" did not mean "bad". Again the AER compact 60 which is well regarded as an acoustic amp has a "cheap" IC car amplifier in his heart. It also does not mean that anyone can make an AER compact 60 clone with a piece of plywood, a saw and a soldering iron and make it sound as good.

IK Multimedia iRig Acoustic Stage is a complete bundled set containing a microphone, preamp and audio interface for recording and amplifying acoustic guitars. Compact Contents In most cases, and in my own experience, the best place to put a microphone is right at the base of the soundhole, near the high E string. In the comparison, I hooked up the clip-on microphone on the iRig Acoustic Stage to the sound port on my Washburn 10WD SCE Acoustic Guitar and ran it into an instrument input on my Presonus Firestudio audio interface. I then plugged the guitar output on my acoustic guitar into another open input on the interface. And finally, I mic’ed the guitar up with a Rode Nt1a condenser microphone at roughly the 12th fret. I also noticed there aren’t any replacements for this portion of the iRig Acoustic Stage specifically at this time. So if this breaks, you’ll likely have to invest in a whole new unit (unless you’re able to work something out with IK Multimedia’s support).The difficult thing about recording guitars at home, or even in a studio environment, is that there are a lot of different ways to do it, yet many of them are ambiguous, complicated and never seem to provide a straight path forward. Note: On less powerful machines, the Kernal Buffer can be adjusted. Increasing this value will increase latency.

The unit is powered on by a simple “on/off” switch on the side. A “tone” button exists to change the guitar sound from natural, warm, and bright. It also features an option for nylon stringed guitars. The iRig Acoustic Stage product feature has all the information and specs on the mic and preamp we've been usingWhat is the "best" way to record your acoustic guitar at home or in a small studio environment? Moreover, how do you get it to sound like it should? A recorded acoustic guitar should sound natural, warm and resonant.
