I have a friend or two that are trying to get me to start colab'ing
on BandHub.com. I was wondering if anyone here was familiar with it?
Haven't used it before...
Can you just record into your iPad and then export?
Well, it's not taht easy - it requires a webcam as well, so you get the video from there and the audio is the line-in. It's actually very cool once everything is working... You can basically build up a song with however-many people from around the world and it works really well; I recommend it.
I got it working today, but only had a chance to play around with it for a little bit. Here's what I bought and how I set it up.
I bought a USB audio interface from Guitar Center - a UR12. It was $99 but you could probably find it cheaper online, or perhaps something similar. You just need something to go from instrument to computer via USB
I bought a $20 webcam at wallmart (pricematched an amazon price)
Now, you may need some sort of guitar processing software running.. some people use a DAW, I use a copy of Amplitube that I was able to download because I purchased an irig for my ipad ages ago.
Next, I installed the UR12 drivers and plugged it in. The bandHub recording app lists it in the 'input devices' straight away, I didn't have to do any kind of configuring. I had Amplitude running while the bandhub app was running and I could tweak my tone etc..
From there I created a test "colab" to try recording a few test tracks and it worked well. Next I'll need to start a project and actualy practice for the first time in a year.. I'm a little rusty. :(
