I'm getting one - I have the bias fx2 elite already. Can't wait to try it out!
Thanks for watching James!
That kind of setup works best when it’s hooked up to an effects loop.
Very cool. Thank you for your video.
Thanks for watching Jon!
cheers for the overview. So no dreaded 'ipad cannot power the usb device' messages when plugging directly in? And do you notice much extra drain on the ipad's battery when using the Riff? thanks - John.
Thanks John. No error message when plugging in directly to the iPad and I don't notice any real difference in battery drain.
@@PeteBreen Cheers Pete. I've put an order for one in. Have been using a Roland Duo Capture EX22 which does work and runs of AA's, though it chews through a set of batteries in 3 - 4 hours.
Thanks for the information. Is it possible to play along with and record to iphone all at the same time? Now that "shorts" are a thing, I need a better way to get audio into my iphone than capturing the room sound through the iphone built-in mic. Thanks for any info you may provide.
Thanks for watching! You can play along and record with any native iPhone tools/apps like GarageBand, etc. I’ll try to pop together a video this week about it.
@@PeteBreen Great, thanks. I watch for it.
Great video. Can I use Bias FX2 Mobile inside other iPhone/iPad applications? Or it can be only used in a standalone way? I want to use it to record in the Indaband App and I want to be sure that it works before buying it?
Hi Javier. FX2 Mobile, to the best of my knowledge, is a standalone application which can't be "called" by other mobile apps. On a PC/Mac, I can access the models from within other applications like Pro Tools, Audacity, Reaper, etc.
@@PeteBreen Thank you for the information. I have investigated a further more and there is a technology in iOS called Inter-App Audio that allows this but it must be supported by both applications (origin and destiny ones).
Any feedback issues while using it on the iPad?
I got a IRig2 with Biasfx and had nothing but problems using it because of feedback/static issues.
Really wish the spark amp would just run Biasfx.
None so far on my end.
Thanks for the review Pete.
Looks like it has a 1/4" out - could I plug it into my guitar amp after going through bias FX, for example?
Thanks for watching! As long as your amp has a line-in jack - you should be fine. It would be taken in like any other effects unit through the amp.
@@PeteBreen thanks for the reply! Mine only has an instrument input - I guess it won't work for me, then.
How’s the latency when playing in real time? I know we can’t hear latency under a certain amount but I certainty feel it when I’m playing. Thanks!
Almost imperceptible as a direct-in, but as you add effects it is slightly noticeable. Maybe 1-2ms.
@@PeteBreen Thanks for the reply. Sounds pretty good then. It’s hard to tell from watching demos. I appreciate the info.
Nice vid… what is the best mobile app for the riff? Thnx
Appreciate you watching. To keep things cheap, if you're on iOS, GarageBand works great with it.
@@PeteBreen thanks for writing back Pete… was wondering how do the simulators in Garage Band Compare to the Positive Grid simulators…
I prefer the Garage Band sims - they sound more natural and less canned.
@@PeteBreen Thanks Pete for putting in all the time to make these informative videos👍🎸
@@freespeach1776 Thank you for watching.
How is this different than iRig or Apogee Jam?
Thanks for watching David - they're all essentially variations on the same theme - portable DAC's. The RIFF does interact very well with the BIAS FX software.
So nothing new then? It cannot act without a device phone/pad/computer attached.
I wish they would have done like a pocket Spark, pure headphone amp that can act as an audio interface. At least with limited features like 4 presets and the rest needs to be done via phone or so.
Unfortunately, yes. It gets power supplied by USB, so you're out of luck without something to plug into. I'm with you on the pocket Spark idea...own a Spark as well.
@@nebroTtfeoH so when the iPad dies you're done?
@@jawknee21 no, more in the way the NUX mighty plug works. You can use it independently, but with a mobile device you have more functionality.
This here is “just” an interface and I wasn’t aware that we need another one.
Hi. What generation iPad do you have?
2018 - an earlier model.
Unfortunately the complete portability argument falls down if you have an iPad built after 2018. The connector they provide with it is a connector Apple stopped using in October 2018. On the usability side it’s really poor and obviously down to a great deal they got from their Chinese suppliers on connectors they had to shift!
@@jamesbonin1277 Not really. Like a lot of modern electronics, manufacturers can't accommodate everyone's cable needs. www.amazon.com/s?k=lightning+to+usb-c+cable&crid=2H3AMC6HBP463&sprefix=lightning+to+usb-c+cable+%2Caps%2C82&ref=nb_sb_noss_2
Multiple pages of lightning->USB-C cables to do the trick. 😀
