AmpliTube adds guitar recording to the iPhone

Ah the iRig...so cool, we have very limited stock but should have more arriving soon...

IKMultimedia’s AmpliTube for iOS has been updated with an array of new features that convert the device into a mobile recording studio.

Version 2.0, unveiled Thursday by IK Multimedia, expands the $20 app to allow single-track recording and the ability to export those recordings as high-quality WAV files, or by e-mail as MP3s; four-track recording capabilities can be added to the app with an additional $10 in-app purchase. The app also includes a “re-amping” feature that allows users to add effects to a recorded song without having to re-record it.

The update also addresses earlier criticisms by allowing users to import music directly from their iPod song library-or via Wi-Fi file sharing-where the tempo can now be slowed down or sped up without affecting the pitch of the song. And new stompbox options have been added to the sound effects library, bringing the total to 16. The developers say the app’s overall sound quality has also been improved, and the update includes a setup panel with input and output level controls.

An update to AmpliTube for iPad is also expected shortly, IK Multimedia announced.

AmpliTube 2.0 is compatible with any iPhone, iPad or iPod touch running iOS 3.1.3 or later.

Grohl, Slash and Metallica set for “Lemmy: The Movie”

New Motörhead documentary is coming out....sounds interesting

Dave Grohl, Slash and Metallica are set to appear in a new documentary movie about Motorhead’s Lemmy.

The film, entitled Lemmy, follows the singer across the world over a three-year period.

Shot by Greg Olliver and Wes Orshoski, the film also includes extensive interviews with the star.

“When it comes to rock n roll you need something to believe in. Integrity means everything,” Grohl said.

“To me, more than any other rock musician, Lemmy is the baddest motherf*cker in the world.”

Lemmy will receive its UK premiere at the London Film Festival on October 23, before being given a run in selected cinemas throughout the UK from December 3.

It is due to be released on DVD on January 2011.

Maton Custom Shop

Makes me proud to be an Australian...an awesome look into why Maton Guitars are played by the world's best...we will have to get Andy Allen back into Haworth's again for another workshop!

Your Instrument is in the best hands

Haworth's owner and luthier Phil Haworth built his first guitar in 1985 while teaching woodwork at Campbelltown High School. He continued to hone his skills using his new found hobby to build guitars, banjos, mandolins, mandolas and even double basses. In 1999 due to increasing demand for the Haworth instruments, Phil resigned from his full time teaching work to become a full-time luthier.

In recent years, Phil has dedicated himself to establishing a Repair Centre of Excellence. His repair team consisting of his son Glenn and the likeable Andy Thomson have been trained by Phil and pride themselves on their high level of workmanship.

The Haworth's team have worked with other experienced luthiers such as Andy Allen who heads the Maton Custom Shop and Gerard Gilet from Botany's Gilet Guitars, its not hard to see why guitars are being brought from all over the country to be serviced at Haworths.

At Haworth's we guarantee that you will receive the best service, the best workmanship and the best care. So you can rest assured - Your instrument is in the best hands...
