"With the built-in effects and processing, there are all the tools here for any player from novice to pro to get a good, well recorded acoustic sound."
Reviewing iRig Acoustic in the Spring 2016 issue, Songwriting Magazine's Chris Cleaver was impressed by the sound quality and ease of use.
Here are some of Chris's key comments:
"The unique plectrum-shaped acoustic guitar microphone and pickup fits onto your favourite acoustic guitar, 12 string or ukelele in seconds."
"Installation of the pickup and initial setup and calibration of the app are quick and simple, and with just a little experimentation with pickup placement you should find you're ready to go within a couple of minutes."
"The sound was crisp and transparent with a modicum of ambient reverb in the headphones."
"In a recorded mix it does a pretty good impression of the real thing."
"With all the built-in effects and processing, there are all the tools here for any player from novice to pro to get a good well recorded acoustic sound.
"Given its size, it can be used almost anywhere from bedroom to beach and all places in between."
Chris's verdict is:
"As a home recording and practice tool, IK Multimedia is onto a winner here."
