IK Multimedia iRig HD 2 Reviews

IRig HD 2 is a superb compact audio interface!

I’ve been using IK Multimedia audio software for years on a Windows PC platform. This was my first hardware purchase in order to use my iPad as a portable recording studio. You can use the iRig HD 2 to get extremely low latency when using and recording with your iOS apps (and also Windows PC platform) but my primary reason for this purchase is to have a robust yet compact portable audio interface for recording my guitar. IK Multimedia is well known for being makers of high quality audio software and hardware and this inexpensive interface is no different. It’s made of robust plastic and will allow you to connect to a several connecting ports like iOS lightning interface, USB, USB-C and also comes with the necessary cables for each! I plug my guitar into the iRig and run a cable from the amp output direct to my amp. I then plug a lightning cable from the iRig to my iPad. I use an app from Jam Origin called MIDI Guitar 2 which allows me to use my guitar as a real-time MIDI controller to then play my virtual synths. I then run the headphone output of my iPad to the monitors for the accompanying sounds. This is a great inexpensive interface that you will get a lot of mileage from.

Excellent for personal practice.

Excellent value and a must for traveling musicians. Only down side, some settings tend to be a bit noisy and certain cable positions can generate hum/noise, both issues can be tuned out/corrected. But overall, for the price, no real complaints. Excellent tool.

Will this allow me to record direct to an app like TikTok?
Asked by: Isaac
The IK Multimedia iRig HD 2 is simply a guitar interface that will enable connection of your electric guitar to an iOS device or to a Mac or Windows computer. Since it is possible to use an external microphone with any of these devices to record audio directly to an app like TikTok, the iRig HD 2 will work in the same manner allow you to record guitar directly to TikTok.
