In an ongoing partnership between IK Multimedia and the Institute of Audio Research, the third seminar in a series was held on July 29th at IAR. IK Multimedia is a music software company known for the production of cutting-edge products, which run the gamut from consumer to professional award winning music software. Students and guests joined Tony Grund from IK for the “Guitar Recording Master Class.” Tony, accompanied by guitarist Adrian Romero, showed students how to get the absolute most out of their DAW using “Powered by AmpliTube” plug-ins such as AmpliTube 2, AmpliTube Fender, AmpliTube Jimi Hendrix, AmpliTube Metal, and Ampeg SVX.
Tony introduced the IK products AmpliTube X-Gear and StealthPedal to the students. AmpliTube X-Gear is the first fully modular, customizable and expandable amp and FX modeling system. Tony demonstrated how it allowed for easy mixing and matching of all the “Powered by AmliTube” products. The second product demonstrated was the StealthPedal, which is the first USB powered guitar audio interface/software controller in a compact wah-style pedal. The guitarist, Adrian, demonstrated that the pedal is not limited to the amp-simulator software, and Tony went on to explain how he uses the StealthPedal as a MIDI controller while playing the keyboard during live shows.
Students were intrigued when the duo demonstrated how concepts they are learning in the analog world were carried out in this digital software. Tony showed how the overtone structure changed like a real amp and compared the presets, containing different microphones and amplifiers, to obtain each particular guitar sound.
In the end the students were entered in a raffle for a chance to win great prize packages that include StompIO, AmpliTube Fender downloads, StealthPedals, and more. Additional discounts were offered for the full and crossgrade versions of the hardware and software demonstrated.
