Hi man ! Maybe it's my problem, where do you find the register product button ?

@@braynicolas436 Try the IK Product Manager app. Mine has a red Register button in the upper right portion.

Your comment prompted me on to get started with Episode 2 today.

Same! I’ve been on the hunt for a lightweight inexpensive setup for when I’m traveling for gigs and decided to explore MainStage. The only thing was that MainStage began getting confusing…then discovered Amplitube. Bout the line 6 FVB MKii Express because I needed something that would still let me control the software and guitar tones……and so far I’d say this is worth it! Now getting the hang of Amplitube and understanding how things connect in the software but this video was EXTREMELY helpful!!

Is it possible not to use an interface at all?

Thanks for watching. I do think the standalone app is plenty to learn. Later on you might enjoy some of the other episodes. Using AmpliTube inside a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) is a great feature but not necessary until you need features the built-in recorder doesn’t have.

Thanks for watching!

You are so sweet to watch any part of this. Thanks.

See if this answers your question - kzfaq.info9linEENzC08

For sure I wouldn't say the matching buffer size is obvious. That won't be true for all interfaces. My axe IO has a buffer of 512 (according to some software I have) but in AT5 I can set any buffer size and it still works. I'm surprised the Scarlet has this restriction. I do think naming the recorder inputs 1 and 2 instead of Left and Right adds to the confusion. While I touched on this in my video on how to use two guitars you inspired me to create a new video today on fully explaining what is meant by Input 1 and 2 in the multi-track view of the recorder mode. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fNl1o6lmmtfPdmg.html

Sure. My preferred approach is to use the Line Out ports on the back of the Axe I/O direct to a pair of Mackie CR5-X BT speakers which sit on the desk with my laptop. On my laptop I then select the AXE I/O as the output device so that both my guitar and all system audio goes back to the Axe I/O and then to the speakers. This makes it really easy to balance the volume when playing with a jam-along track from the computer. (For normal computer sound I can use this setup or switch to the Mackies via their bluetooth connection. The BT option is not usable for practicing as there is too much lag). When I need to be quiet I switch to a pair of Audio-Technica ATH-M50x headphones through the front headphone jack on the Axe I/O. I have also used that front headphone jack with a 1/4" stereo jack to two RCA outputs to connect that way to a pair of powered speakers. Finally, I have run the line out to both my small Carvin S400 Stagemate PA (the 12" speakers sound great) and when I jam with friends I have run it through the band's PA. I have not run it through an amp, but that is the purpose of the Amp Out connection on the front of the Axe I/O. I assume that sends a DI signal that's only been processed by your AXE I/O (not AT5) to your amp.

Your comment got caught by the spam filters. Not sure why. If you describe the problem and I know anything about it I'm happy to try to help.

That sounds like the correct version to me. V2 includes a few more amps than were in the initial release that I got. It will not include Tonex. Still I always recommend starting with the free version to check compatibility. Once everything in the free version works you can purchase the full version. Sometimes sales prices are only available for a limited time so be aware of that.

@@UncleTodMusic Alright thank you! I´ll start with the free version, but is it easy to "connect" it with the Max V2 version, if I wanna buy it after that?

Yes. I tried the free AmpliTube CS version for free. Then I upgraded to the Max version. As I recall I just entered data into the IK product manager and it unlocked all the features of Mac. Nothing new to download. You do pay for the operating system you want. For example I bought it for my Mac laptop so macOS, this did NOT unlock anything for my phone running iOS. That is a separate purchase (kind of surprised me so thought I would mention it).

My understanding is that all the amps are already downloaded into AmpliTube. You should see them with a lock icon as long as you have enabled viewing of all the gear (see the second video in this series kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d5uXjLR7xJunn2w.html around the 2 minute mark). Once you purchase you might need to make sure IK Product Manager is open, but it should authorize that gear in AT5 and any limitations on the "locked" version should be removed.

I was planning on doing that just haven't gotten around to it yet. In the meantime, the plugins should be in the following folder (assume your hard drive is called HD) `HD->Library→Audio→Plug-Ins`, then you should see a `Components` folder and VST3` folder. In the components folder you should see AmpliTube5.component and in the VST3 folder you should see AmpliTube 5.vst3 (there is also a VST folder that has AmpliTube 5.vst). If you have all those files I would say everything installed correctly. Then (and here is where a video would really help) you use the plug-ins area. You could use any slot but it makes sense to replace the "Amp Designer" with AT5. If you hover over it the icon should show a power button, sliders and up/down arrows. Click on the arrows, drag down to `Audio Units` select `IK Multimedia` then `AmpliTube 5`. Then click on the center (slider icon part) of the AmpliTube 5 plug-in and the familiar AT5 interface will open in a floating window.

@@UncleTodMusic Hey, thanks for the response. Everything looks like you describe, all the way until I get back into GarageBand and select Amplitube 5 as a plug-in. The window that pops up has a column of values (Param 1-Param16), each of which has a field with up and down arrows, and next to that each Param has a slider. None of them do anything. I'll keep wrestling with it, but I think I've hit a wall. I just subscribed, so if you release a video on this maybe I'll see something that I can try. Thanks again!

@@danieli.9252 I made the video but from what you've written I don't think it will help you. I guess you can at least confirm you're doing the same steps I do. When I click on the plug-in I get the standard AT5 interface. If you have other questions or insights maybe post them in the new video in case it benefits future viewers facing the same issue. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fJpnjZef2p-of30.html

I can't really help with details on the PC side but I can work on a general troubleshooting guide. I'll try to get that posted today or tomorrow. Thanks for watching.

OK - See if anything here helps. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bMV5fdOBs9XPcXk.html If it doesn't and you figure out a solution I would to hear what the issue was.

Answered on your comment in the Tonex video.

When you purchase AT5 Max it should authorize all the additional amps and effects that are part of the package. There is nothing new you have to download. You still use the CS package you first downloaded.

@@UncleTodMusic yeah but it doesn’t apply to my amplitube 5 and I tried restoring purchases and nothing , no new pedals , no new amps nothing but it says I got MAX V2

Re: “no new pedals , no new amps nothing but it says I got MAX V2” Sorry for the late reply but YT Studio doesn't show me when I have new replies, just saw this when reading a different comment. Just to be clear you don’t get anything NEW - what happens is CS/AT5 authorizes the things you already had. If you remember from the video there is a way to filter the list to the things you own, the things you don’t own, or both. Make sure you toggle through those settings. But the thing I would have expected to change in AT5 is the lock icons on most of the gear would go away. If they didn’t try this: 1. Go into custom shop, use the drop-down in the top menu bar and click your username, then select “My Profile”. Go to the AMPLITUBE tab. You should see a long list of amps, cabinets, and effects. Most of them should have green check marks in the lower left corner. If they do at least CS sees all those as authorized. 2. Assuming you still see everything with lock icons in AT5, try going to IK Product Manager. Click the gear icon and in the dialog, enable the checkbox for “Automatically authorize software after installation. Otherwise you may need to click on each amp that is locked and see if you get an option for authorizing without have to buy anything. You can also try the forum to see if other users can help - cgi.ikmultimedia.com/ikforum/viewforum.php?f=5 IK would like you to try the faqs first - www.ikmultimedia.com/faq/ But then, I would recommend going to www.ikmultimedia.com/contact-support/sw and seeing if they can help. Provide as much information as you can, computer (or mobile platform), operating system, version any serial numbers etc. Tell them what you saw when you did the above two steps. My experience is it takes 2+ weeks to get a response so if you provide as much information as possible it might help.

Your English is excellent but I do not think I can help much. I do not know what device or even operating system you are on. I can offer some general info: Make sure you are on the latest version of IK Product Manger (currently 1.1.0). Click the gear icon and verify the Downloads Folder is where you expect it to be, and that you have permissions for that folder and space on your hard drive. I doubt that helps. I think you will have to write to tech support. My advice is to make a screen recording of what you are trying to do because product support is probably going to ask for one any way. Even if you just click a button and nothing happens, show that nothing happens. I do not know if you can attach a video when you create the ticket, but if not, you'll get an automated acknowledgment via email, and you can reply to that and attach the video at that point.

I'm not sure. The tap button isn't available on the looper mode, but in recorder or live mode it should be down there just to the left of the output slider.

See if you can stop the download. Look for any file that was saved. Delete it and start again. I did have the download fail the first time I tried but just doing it all over again worked. The authorization step is done in the IK Product Manager software but you have to get it to download first.

@@UncleTodMusic it worked, thank you so much!

Hard to know with limited information but sounds like the first download is in progress so the others are queued waiting for it to finish. If it’s been a while it’s probably hung and you need to troubleshoot possible reasons. In the platform you’re using do you have enough storage/memory for the download. Could there be a permission problem. Check the download location in IK Product Manager, anything in that path oddly named? Can you change to something closer to the root of your device? Just guessing here. You can always try IKM tech support or their forums. If you try the forums supply as much info as possible about your platform.

I don't have a PC so I can't give you a definitive answer but I have seen on the forums that various people have similar problems and they seem to be related to monitor settings. One thing that worked for folks was changing their screen resolution to less than 300 DPI. Others have connected external monitors to their laptops and that worked. If it doesn't work you can always contact IK Multimedia tech support. If you do get it working I would appreciate it if you report the solution back here.

Je suis désolé mais je ne connais pas suffisamment Windows ou votre problème spécifique. Je ne peux que vous suggérer de contacter le support d'IK Multimedia. Commencez sur www.ikmultimedia.com/contact-support/quickfaq.php?quick=QUICKSW - recherchez une réponse dans la FAQ et si vous ne trouvez aucune aide, un lien par e-mail sera une option après votre recherche.

Mot de passe rejeté?

no i use a line 6 ux2 works perfectly no delay

Nope. Any USB interface will work. I used to use my Yamaha but the fact that it would only let me hear a fixed 50/50 blend of DI and processed sound led me to buy a new one.

Works with a scarlett 2i2 here.

Not entirely sure what the question is but this video should be useful to anyone that plays guitar and wants to use AmpliTube 5. I look at one USB interface as a way to review features you should consider when buying any USB interface to connect your guitar to your computer.

OK - not sure AT5 offers much (other than a clean recording track) for vocals.

I think it's this video where I mention that I really wish they hadn't decided to default the input to a microphone and the output to my speakers. It just sets up a screeching feedback loop. Sounds like what you are hearing. You need to set up your inputs and output as shown near the 10:00 minute mark. Turn down or off your speakers first and you might be able to avoid the screech. Good luck.
