RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I was thinking that, it seems odd recording bass into garageband without bass amps. So, I have downloaded Dave Ellefsons Rock shop app& GK amp on ipad2. The idea is to link my ipad2 to my ux1 interface. Then open App and record onto garageband in Mac mini. Is this too laborious? If we plugged bass into real lead amps they would distort and blow . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Thanks for quick reply. Please excuse my lack of intelligence here , but what is an AU plugin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Audio Units - this is the Apple standard for plugins (basically their version of VST). If GarageBand does support them - and from what I can see it does - then any third party bass amp plugin that is available in AU format should work.

vsmith1 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Yes it does. I have a free copy of a cut down Amplitube Ampeg SVX which gives me a B500 model bass head/cab. I also have Pod Farm with the Bass pack that gives loads of AUs to add into GarageBand. So anything with a AU is available as a plug-in in GarageBand.

RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 Ah, I think I understand now I have podfarm also. I feel very silly :)Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 GarageBand supports AUs. I'm not 100% sure it supports all VSTis, but I think it does for most of them. Isn't there amp sims under the effects sections in GB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it really works well when a good amount of the original signal is dialed back in with the blend pot.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
